This weekend will fatten U.S. meat sales and heat up the economy. Citizens who do not eat meat grill veggies; religious Jews grill kosher meat. It might be said that burger burning, bargain-hunting Americans are celebrating the values our fallen heroes were defending, but only if gluttony and consumerism are mistaken for expressions of freedom.

Sunday marks the start of the annual animal flesh festival here in the Nation’s Capital, DC Meat Week. Pork. Beef. Goat. Whale. Everything carivores crave, on a skewer, plate, or bun.
Combine Memorial Day Weekend cooking and holiday bargain shopping without leaving your computer. Mark Bittman has a new Kindle Single e-book, What I Grill and Why. It’s on sale for the Memorial Day Weekend ($1.99). We recommend it.
Cooking tip: don’t put your Kindle too close to the grill or it will melt.

The last two courses of DC Meat Week will be postponed due to impending Snowmageddon, a condition known elsewhere in the country as “winter.” It is snowing in the Nation’s Capital, and residents are hunkered down in basements stacking up cans of soup, Spam™. tuna, and Sterno™ and creating huge walls of toiletpaper rolls. Bureaucrats left work early today and schools are closed. Congress is unaffected; elected federal legislators only work Tuesday through Thursday anyway (the rest of the time they raise money for relection).
