"Vegan Mondays." Those are just some of the proposals put forth by the Cambridge Climate Congress, an entity created in May 2009 to respond to the "climate emergency" plaguing the Massachusetts city.All I can say in response is
MOO, MOO, MOO
Add some mushroom/onion gravy and you have a real counterpoint to that little proposal.This is my favorite recipe for roast beef or prime rib, one that will melt in your mouth. It's on the sidebar if you are interested. You start by searing the meat at a jungle hot temperature, then cooking for several hours at a very low temp, directly on the rack, with a pan underneath the rack that contains beef broth, onions and garlic. The meat itself is studded with garlic and rubbed down with rosemary, Penzey's Beef Roast Seasoning and Smoky 4/S Special Seasoned Sea Salt, pepper and a dash of cumin. You can cut the meat with a spoon and the seasoning has just the right amount of kick.
Cambridge - may I introduce a beefier way to survive.

Sounds delicious.
I have to say, when I read that Cambridge Climate Congress, I had the reaction any liberty loving individual should have: a desire to eat more meat than usual on the proposed vegan Mondays. And then send the bones to the Cambridge Climate Congress, thanking them for leaving more meat for me.
Thanks so much for your recipes, Brigid. I'd been meaning to tell you that I made your Corn Pudding for two Thanksgiving meals and it went over extremely well.
OOOHHHhhhh. The grilled tuna with asiago cheese sandwiches I just prepared and ate feel like stepchildren in my tummy after looking at those pics. Dang that looks good. Back in the eighties, firmly ensconced in enemy territory, (N. Ca.) I used to buy the SF Chronicle every day just to read the Far Side. Well,, ok, and the sporting green. And Herb Caen. But the rest, fishwrap.
I'm drooling more than the dog...truly.
Boy, that picture really got my stomach a rumbling and my mouth a drooling. I mean that looks soo good I wanted to bite my screen. 'Course I simply love prime rib! I'd love to see you and Rev. Paul's youngest get together and cook up a storm, and then let the Rev and I enjoy the outcome!
p.s. I should have mentioned it earlier, but I Totally ripped Gary Larsen off when I posted this morning. Sorry Gary.
Medium Rare please............
Prime rib just makes my mouth water. Vegs cooked in bacon grease don't taste to bad.
See Ya
Plus I had read last week someplace that tofu could have a larger "carbon footprint" than an equal weight of beef, pork or lamb, even from factory farms.
I hate that term when I see "carbon footprint" I start checking the carpet for charcoal dust prints, sigh.
Now to go back and decide which looks more luscious the beef or you all wrapped up for the cold. Double sigh, tilapia for dinner will be a big letdown. Clonn
I blogged about it a couple of days ago. The most amazing aspect of the Cambridge story was the hubris to believe that something the did was contibuting to the state of the global climate and that something they COULD do would correct it. That's a perspective of self-importance that is rare.
The solution you propose is much tastier and can be accompanied by a nice wine as well. I don't know a grape that pairs with tofu and sprouts.
Yes indeed, I would fire up the grill and make a HUGE production out of grilling up big steaks.
This is America damn it.
Sigh. Not all of us in Massachusetts are idiots.
Well, not idiots like that.
I am glad indeed that I read this while well-fed on chorizo and pasta, otherwise I'd feel an inescapble urge to go find a piece of prime rib.
Nice lamp, too!
