Been missing your trenchant comments. No, I haven't tried that bacon - I'll look for the store, though, maybe next weekend.

I haven't had it in a while, but it sure was good and worth the trip.<BR/><BR/>Bigglesmeathengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103655191726899093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732224038883472327.post-55008602757688180272007-09-15T16:09:00.000-07:002007-09-15T16:09:00.000-07:00DMM, I cheat all the time, and often without shame...DMM, I cheat all the time, and often without shame! :-)<BR/><BR/>Anita, it's interesting, isn't it, when you start to really analyze how "local" is "local?"<BR/><BR/>Dagny, you've got the right attitude - if it tastes good, do it! :-)Zoomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474153316588551039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732224038883472327.post-75392282527058436072007-09-15T10:09:00.000-07:002007-09-15T10:09:00.000-07:00Mmmmm.

Yes, their pork operations are based in Iowa, so they're not really local in the purist/purest sense. We buy almost all of our pork (raw and cured) from Prather Ranch, Marin Sun, or Fatted Calf these days, but when I'm standing at the supermarket counter, I don't feel bad about buying Niman.<BR/><BR/>Hmm, seems I have a question to ask at the farmers market tomorrow about whether they have any local farms. Their website is suspiciously vague.Anita (Married... with dinner)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16158306976034229048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732224038883472327.post-69909299213675828122007-09-14T20:15:00.000-07:002007-09-14T20:15:00.000-07:00isn't a tiny cheat allowed?
