Normally I would have come and gone from the Greensboro Farmers’ Curb Market by now, perhaps with a stop afterwards at McKnight’s Hardware or Bryant Hardware or Deep Roots Market, but my rally from my cold took a back turn with an earache and headache this morning, so I slept late and I’m staying in.…

I can’t write about San Fran and Slow Food Nation without my photos. I’m too much of a visual person. So until I manage to get my memory card unloaded (please, God, let them be there), let’s stick with the present. My first project assignment for my art class is to design what the umami…

And yes, I do have an excellent Dry Jack cheddar from Slow Food Sonoma to go with this whine, but I’ll save it for when I can manage not to sneeze all over it. The good news is that I’m fairly lucid now, the bad is that I’m a walking muck machine. I must have…

Yes, I’m home! San Francisco and Slow Food Nation was absolutely wonderful, but unfortunately I came home very sick. I look forward to uploading photos and sharing this week. I brought home lots o’goodies from the Ferry Market folks. I was able to get autographed books from Michael Pollan, Vandana Shiva, Corby Kummer and Carlo…

I’m doing pretty well so far with going out to the gazebo for 15-20 minutes each morning to write. Those minutes sure do fly by! I found a good use for my cell phone at home finally – I can’t wear a watch (I kill batteries within hours) but I can use the phone as…

Just got back from the City Council meeting, where a lot of people, including my bud Anne-Marie and Billy the Blogging Poet, spoke on behalf of a revised ordinance to lessen the restrictions on setbacks to keep chickens and beehives in the city limits. It also put into place some reasonable restrictions that weren’t in…

Another goal that I’ve started today – let’s see how long THIS lasts! – I’m getting up 15 minutes earlier to go back to the gazebo and drink my first cup of coffee and journal or sketch or just birdwatch. As long as the weather is nice. If it gets horribly humid and hot –…

I decided that this and next week will be so busy that it give me the push I needed to go ahead and do my personal challenge yesterday. It’s a very simple one, for a reason. I was busy with canning, preserving, and gardening! I chose a small, simple goal to push me out of…
