Check out 'The reluctant vegan'

Editorial writer Rod Dreher has staked out a small plot here on the DMN religion blog to muse upon the spiritual and physical aspects of fasting through the Lenten season.

Interwoven among the entries to come, he "will be talking about disordered aspects of our food culture, things like factory farming and its abuses of creation, and how our culture of convenience, and of seeing the production and consumption of food as an act without spiritual meaning or moral responsibility, has gotten us into a mess."

His most recent book, Crunchy Cons: The New Conservative Counterculture and Its Return to Roots, which you can see here, explores the intersection of commitment to stewardship from the conservative sphere and sustainablity issues raised by concerned liberals. There really are topics these groups agree on.

Look for Dreher's entries to be reasoned and thought-provoking.

Savor Dallas: Taste the best for less tonight

There's nothing cheap about the Savor Dallas International Grand Tasting price tag tonight; it's a hefty $125 per person.

But besides a place to sample fine wines, beers and spirits, it's also a great opportunity to taste signature bites from some of the city's best and hottest restaurants without having to rack up a dinner bill for each one. In some cases, you'll get to meet the chefs, too.

John Tesar's Rosewood Mansion Restaurant will be among the participants. Also Charlie Palmer (one of Dallas' newest hot spots), longtime favorite The French Room, Lonesome Dove Western Bistro from yonder Fort Worth (and soon to be Dallas), and Bolla (new-new at the Stoneleigh).

Read on for some of the other 80-plus restaurants represented. In truth, there's not a ringer in the batch.
