As Americans gather around kitchen tables and discuss the sinking economy, it’s become clear that the financial mess is affecting exactly what they put on their tables.

If you picked up a carton of eggs at the store this week, they probably set you back about $1 or $1.50. The organic, cage-free kind costs more like $3.
Some urban and suburbanites, however, are skipping the store entirely when it comes to things like eggs and honey and turning instead to their own backyards.
Whether from tighter food budgets or local-eating ideals, more and more people are petitioning their cities to allow small animal husbandry.
Welcome to 2009. May it be sweet and natural, not artificial and weird. May your sweetener be the same way, and calorie-free, too.

These are chicken noodle soups you want to bathe in: sweet, spicy and fragrant, a happy contrast of hot broth, springy noodles and a madness of garnishes — from just a few rings of scallion to a spiky crown of caramelized shallots, steamed sweet shrimp and whole chilies stuffed with minced pork.
