Are You Cooking Burgers for the Holiday?

Hello, Sailor! What a hunk. (Sorry, I got a little carried away there.) On a more serious note, I’ve been following Kroger’s recall (Hi, GW!) of ground beef in other states, but I just heard on local radio that the Dallas Kroger stores are participating in a “voluntary recall” of meat. So, if you aren’t already shopping the chicken and figs recipe below, let me make a suggestion: Hit the Dallas Farmers Market tonight. It’s open late and the stalls are full of fresh local corn, tomatoes, and all kinds of vegetables. You can also find great meat at Texas Meats Supernatural, a co-op of farms in Shed No. 2 that sells chicken, lamb, and beef from Windy Meadows, Rehoboth Ranch, and Truth Hill Farms. Take the kids, buy a lot, help a farmer. It’s great food and great fun. Oh, and it wouldn’t hurt if you signed up to be a Dallas Farmers Market Friend.
