Comments on: The Green Table – A Guilt-Free Freebie http://www.weareneverfull.com/the-green-table-a-guilt-free-freebie/ Musings on Starters, Mains, Desserts and Second-Helpings...

She admitted though, that scale was still on the side of the large producers but expected that if fuel prices remain high, there will be greater demand for local foods and the local farms will follow. tina - thanks for the pics. can't believe we arrived late and missed the cheese!!! coco/zenchef/nuria - you're right. there is nothing wrong with freebies. We just wanted to make it clear we're not in the employ of a big corporation - as if you couldn't tell already from this nickel & dime operation...! heather - he is indeed a bag of tools, or a tool-bag, if you will. anyone who appears on TV commercials for TGI fridays encouraging punters to "try something new" from a menu featuring pork chops and chicken sandwiches needs a sharp kick in the Jacobs crackers.

It was great meeting both of you there! Hearing from Amy, you guys have one heck of a jet-setting life (which I do envy but then again, I spend it on food). Anyway, hopefully we'll cross paths one day and eat out if it's possible. It would be awesome to have a food bloggers' brunch or something. Here's the photos of last night's festivities (admittedly, mostly food photos): http://flickr.com/photos/hellokitty893112/sets/72157607201603720/ Hi Amy & Jonathan!
