I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I like the greens in both of those, shrift.

Today I went on a local farm tour with a friend. The nearby hippie coop grocery organizes it every spring, and I think 30 or so farms participate. We were able to get to four. Still, I got to pet an angora bunny and watch baby goats and sheep bounce about. And there was a wine tasting and a bunch of growing things. It was a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Tonight's dinner was a salad of lettuce and radishes from my CSA, avocados and tomato from the above mentioned hippie grocery, and olives, croutons, and blue cheese dressing. Now I'm gonna take some local strawberries, drizzle some cream over them, and nom nom nom.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I totally would have ordered that green dress if they'd had it in my size.

Shrift, they are both cute, but I totally love that linen one.

I just put some broccoli and cauliflower on to roast but I haven't figured out what to have with it yet.

I love the green in that second one. I just painted my bathroom almost that color.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I can't remember where I read it, but at least one nutritionist blog I follow says that whole wheat pasta is bullshit and not to bother. (Basically that the word "whole" is only health-relevent when it refers to an intact grain - aka brown rice - and nsm when the grain has been processed, purified, and then had the individual elements reconstituted to approximate the same germ-to-bran-to-hull proportions of a whole grain.)

Tonight we had lamb sausages with a chickpea and tomato salad.

With the optional fruit and egg shares (veggies are mandatory), my CSA is about $600 for the season, and a full share is enough for 4 omnivores (or 2 pretty hungry vegetarians) every week. Splitting a full share is a much better deal than buying a half-share for me - the pickup for half shares is every other week, and there are sometimes things that the half shares just don't get.

It might be Marion Nestle, or maybe that was just about bread.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I just sent an email off to our local CSA. I'm going to have to split a share with someone - there's no way I could a) afford b) consume an entire share.

I wonder if this dress, in red, would look good on me. Potential MOB?

I also looked into nearby CSA's and there is one with a pickup close to me. A single share is $468 for 26 weeks of veggies. They also do shares of fresh eggs, fruit, mushrooms, bread, and flowers. And I think you can special order meat too.

That sounds right - pasta and bread are pretty much nutritional equivalents.

There is no CSA near me. I will starve. Or have to subsist on fast food and peanut butter.
