In a valiant effort to explore both sides of the controversial Proposition 2 in California, Oprah's show yesterday was entitled: "How We Treat the Animals We Eat." With the globe-trotting Lisa Ling by her side, Oprah spoke to folks from the media, the Humane Society of America (sponsors of Prop. 2), industry organizations and chicken/veal/pig farmers - both factory and organic. Valid points were made on both sides of the issue - it was not as black/white as I had imagined.

Barbara from the New Zealand food blog Winos & Foodies has transferred the technique that swept the world for No Knead Bread to chicken.

Kitty from the Brooklyn food blog My Husband Hates Veggies is obsessed with getting her husband to eat more vegetables. She's found a winner. Kitty writes: "I am seriously salivating as I sit here writing this post (note to self: post the photographs after you finish writing). ... “Hey Sweetie, what are you in the mood to have for dinner tonight?”, answered by “Oooh, can we have chicken thighs with sesame noodles?” ... one very important detail ... this recipe is a serious veggie fake-out." ~ My Husband Hates Veggies
