Don’t hate me. This was my first attempt at video content for EatingRealFood.com. Hopefully it comes through in high definition, though you may need to click through to YouTube to access that version. Someday we’ll get this sorted out so that we use a great service like Vimeo or Viddler and can embed the HD-version right in the article.

Tonight’s meal was tacos with ground beef and cheese dip.

Every Sunday for the past two months, I have stopped by the East Lansing Farmer’s Market to pick up whatever looks good. And every time out I have taken a good, long look at the Almar Orchards pig products (bacon, bratwurst, sausage, etc.).

I finally caved in and bought a $7 pack of frozen Italian sausage. It was expensive (about 3 times as much as Italian sausage costs when it’s on sale at Meijer), but it felt like the right thing to do. The gentleman who runs that particular booth is one of the coolest people I have met at any farmer’s market (though I don’t know his name).

To accompany the sausage, I picked up some organic hot dog rolls from Foods For Living and prepared roasted potatoes from a farm in Dewitt, Michigan.

Here’s a picture of this excellent meal; or you can hop over to my Flickr photo page for a larger version.
