So Green Just Call Me Kermit

We're still Republicans and we still don't recycle, but check us out eating organically! That would be Jason and Kyle frying up bacon from the 1/2 hog we bought. Sure we don't buy any other organic products, and we wouldn't "own" a pig if it wasn't for Harry's appetite, but hey, it's so organic I think we're officially allowed to enter the Durango Natural Foods Coop. And for my loyal Foodie readers (Lu, Kristi, Sarah, and Allison) I was trying to come up with some great Top Chefy way to describe the taste, but all I could come up with was "Ummmm, bacon".

Ok, in your defense and the defense of others in this town who don't recycle (I plead guilty), it's not NEARLY as convenient as in the city! They actually charge you EXTRA to recycle. That's right, they pick up your recycling, collect the money from the recycling plants for the materials and then turn around and charge you for it.
There are two free recycling stations in town but neither one is very convenient either. You have to sort all the stuff yourself including types of cardboard and colors of glass, and neither one has parking so you have to leave your car running while you do it in case you have to move out of someone's way.
You'd think that in such a granola town they'd subsidize recycling, but no. They just rely on your guilt about how you're destroying the planet to create an opportunity to turn a profit instead. So I don't blame you for not recycling. Not one bit. :-)

Yum-o for pork belly! You know pork belly is very "in vogue" in trendy restaurants now.

Bacon doesn't need fancy words to describe it. It's bacon. Enough said. :)
