What does your cervix look like?

Eating differently

Monday, April 27th, 2009

I’ve been quite busy with the garden (pictures coming) and I’m eating a lot more thoughtfully. There are volumes to be written about that, but what I mean is more or less really thinking about what I’m eating instead of just cramming (fast, bad) food in mouth as quickly as possible so I can move on to next thing. This has lead to a continuation of a blossoming trend in enjoying the preparation of foods as well. I always enjoyed baking but now entrees are a fun new land to explore.

Then there’s the cost factor. Money can buy a moderate amount of crap food or a smaller bit of good food that makes for more “life, experienced, now” moments. Who knew parsnips were so sweet? I mentioned the garden, right? Reminding myself a watched seed doesn’t germinate. It’s a process. Anyway, I really enjoyed this article at Salon by a woman who answers the question “Can we afford to eat ethically?” by which she means sustainable, local, organic. Some good links in the article as well.

One stupid mistake yesterday: I dropped one of the pots of leek seedlings. I may’ve saved most of them; we’ll see.

On the other end of things: for a bit of perspective, who was dead at your age?

Finally!

I’ve long thought that it would be good to provide incentives for people who bike to work (and thereby reduce health problems from pollution, the need to build and maintain huge parking garages, street/highway maintenance, etc. etc.)

Wonder if this will really be a “go” in January 2009? Think I’ll ask around.

Food inspiration

Copying a couple of recipes from this NYT article on what émigrés to the US from different countries like to fix for dinner. Some yummy stuff to add to my YummySoup application. (Here’s a great 2 minute voice-over photo slideshow to accompany.)
