Today, New York Times blogger Pete Wells set a challenge to rewrite this recipe as a short series of tweets. Here was my try at it:

TWEET 1: Prep 4 ‘chokes in water + lemon juice. Mix 1.5 lemonsZest, 750ml brdCrumbs, 80ml ParmChs, 80ml chpd parsly, 1tblsp chpd rosemry, #nytrc

TWEET 3: Stuff ‘chokes w mix > pan > drzl olive oil. Add bit water, 125ml wine. Cover w foil. Bake @ 400d 4 1.5hrs. #nytrc

Last week Michael Pollan – author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food – wrote an open letter to America’s President-Elect about the crisis of industrial agriculture. Here’s the crux:

“When we eat from the industrial-food system, we are eating oil and spewing greenhouse gases. This state of affairs appears all the more absurd when you recall that every calorie we eat is ultimately the product of photosynthesis — a process based on making food energy from sunshine. There is hope and possibility in that simple fact.”

The way we’re making food these days is not sustainable, it’s not healthy and it has to stop. Bring on the sun!
