This weekend I attended the opening reception at our local agricultural museum for an exhibit on the role food and agriculture played during the World Wars. I saw this poster, which dates from World War I and was instantly struck by how timely the advice was. It could have easily been written this week by Michael Pollan or a devoted locavore or even La Dama de la Casa!
These are all excellent points. Even in peacetime, it is important that we treat what nourishes us with respect and care.
So I came home and inspired by the example of the wartime damas de las casas, I made yummy pork fried rice with leftovers and local veggies, topped with a sprinkling of chopped green onions from my backyard herb garden.
