Sunday, January 15, 2012. Eating, Hand To Mouth. But in countries such as Malaysia. Eating with your hands is not uncommon; in India. It is the norm. A few simple practices ensures hygiene, such as visiting the nearby sink or water bucket before and after your meal, and always using your right hand to eat instead of your dirty-job left hand.

pots and jars: August 2011

Saturday, August 27, 2011. Delicious Murder - Part One. But if the animal was raised in a natural environment and killed in a humane way, are we free to feast without guilt? My personal opinion: if you can raise and kill the animal yourself, thus fully aware and involved in the ethical questions and ends of your actions, then yes, you can eat that animal with a clean conscience. Sounds straight-forward, but I myself have not had. I learned that even watching someone else do the dirty work isn't so simple.

Monday, April 18, 2011. Local Food Action - Europe Edition. It's been a while. I'm in bike-friendly Copenhagen, Denmark, and have been travelling for over 6 weeks now. The signs of spring are all around, and it's hard to suppress the desire to garden. I thought it would be nice to give a few quick photos and quips to show you what our European brothers and sisters are doing on the local food scene. We spent a couple of meditative days with beautiful, enlightening beings at the Jampa Ling Buddhist Centre.

Gardening and Design from scratch. Thursday, May 28, 2009. Are they really more difficult to grow? One of my favorite seed supply companies is Baker Creek Heirloom seeds. For example, check out this description for the Mayflower Bean taken from the Baker Creek Heirloom seeds web site. This is the bean (mayflower) that is said to have come to America with the Pilgrims in 1620. This old cutshort. Green bean has great flavor and the red/white beans are quite tasty. A long-time staple in the Carolinas. I am ...

Sunday, January 15, 2012. Eating, Hand To Mouth. But in countries such as Malaysia. Eating with your hands is not uncommon; in India. It is the norm. A few simple practices ensures hygiene, such as visiting the nearby sink or water bucket before and after your meal, and always using your right hand to eat instead of your dirty-job left hand. I still remember the time we tried Ethiopian food and how foreign eating with our hands was. It does sounds fun though to get that extra sensory pleasure. :). Grow G...

Thursday, February 24, 2011. The Value of Barter. This past Monday I attended Well Preserved's Preserve Swap. M and I were not really sure what to expect, having been invited by WP's Dana and Joel after bumping into them on the street earlier in the week. But curiosity and practicality gave way, as we still needed to find a home for a couple jars of spicy dilly beans sitting on our shelf. We ended up meeting a handful of passionate preservers, and.

Saturday, October 1, 2011. Delicious Murder - Part Two. Okay, so you're a meat eater. You eat cow, pig, fish and chicken meat; maybe even rabbit, lamb or deer. Perhaps you don't eat certain animals because of religious rules. Or perhaps because something is just not quite right about it. Or maybe you're a person that would try anything. And just because a pig is somehow not as cute means you don't mind eating it? When I read in my China. This food market was like no other I had ever been to, on my travel...

Seeduction: The Price of Home Grown Produce
http://seeduction.blogspot.com/2010/06/price-of-home-grown-produce.html
Gardening and Design from scratch. Monday, June 7, 2010. The Price of Home Grown Produce. I did not start gardening to save money, I did it to feed my passion. Every spring I feel a strong magnetic tug to pull weeds from the soft earth and plant seeds. There are many reasons why a gardener gardens, some more fulfilling than others. The other day I was at Barnes and Nobel and I spotted an interesting book called, The $64. Tomato. It got me thinking . If I put a price tag on my garden, what would it read?

Seeduction: Organic Fertilizers Vs. Synthetic
http://seeduction.blogspot.com/2010/03/organic-fertilizers-vs-synthetic.html
Gardening and Design from scratch. Thursday, March 25, 2010. Organic Fertilizers Vs. Synthetic. I was one of those. The gardener who loved the effects of synthetic fertilizers. My plants would be wimpy one day then hopped up on that blue juice the next. Yes, you get some really fast and amazing results, but at what cost? How does Synthetic Nitrogen work to destroy our soil? Contrary to synthetic fertilizers, Organic fertilizer builds. The soil. Organic fertilizer is the product of plant, animal and m...
