 h1. Dear readers,

 A new study has found that the recipes in the [/books/collections/allbooks/The+Best-Loved+and+Brand-New+Joy+of+Cooking?utmsource=NL20090218&utmmedium=email&utmcampaign=MoreFrugality "Joy of Cooking"] have increased in calories since the classic cookbook was first published in the 1930s. According to the Los Angeles Times, the increase is due to both higher-calorie ingredients and larger portion sizes.
  
 I wonder if there's a correlation between income (or perception of income) and high-calorie food? And if — as we explore '"the (or maybe even '"extreme) — we'll move toward lighter eating? 

 Perhaps I'm thinking about this especially as I contemplate tonight's dinner: trout, given to us by my father-in-law, who's raised trout in a pond on his farm for many years. It's simple fare, and though I'm tempted to gussy it up with bacon, maybe I won't. Maybe a bit of butter and a little garlic and lemon will be just fine.
