It was great meeting you on the Prairie, Michael! It was an exceptional day for a hike--lots of birds, gators and interesting plants (lots of good wild edibles out there!)--made all the better by going out with such a fine group of hikers. Thanks ag…

I love salsa verde. You know, green sauce. Being of the Southwest US persuasion, and some people call me Miguelito to boot, it's just a part of my blood. So, here in the Swamp, I get these cravings for Tex Mex, Latino, Southwest fare, call it what…

I'd love to hear what you learn from WJ. I've been culturing kombucha for give or take 20 years. I got me a system. In the cold months, the fermentation process takes a little longer but, generally, I have a fresh gallon batch ready every couple weeks - the perfect amount for me to have a cup of kombucha daily.

What is McRorie? I'm new to town. I've spent over an hour on the web trying to find info on the home van and how to volunteer. Now I've found Arupa's page but I'm still not finding out how to volunteer nor do I see the link for the newsletter. Hmmmm Any suggestions???

Right now, I don't have a garden, but I live in an apartment building for seniors (I can't believe I'm old enough. Where did the time go?) and the management has promised to dig up a sunny spot for us to have an organic garden. There are quite a few residents here who like to dig in the dirt and grow our own veggies. So, I can't wait. It will be nice not to have to travel to the garden. But I do miss the nice people at McRorie. If you know anyone who wants garden signs, let me know.

Hi, Michael,
I gave up my plot at McCrorie because I couldn't seem to get over there and it was so hot, I always seemed to be out of town and I thought someone else could benefit more. In case you don't remember me, I'm the lady who made the signs. How's it going over there?

How to Use Clipless Pedals - wikiHow

While clipless pedals are intimidating to many new cyclists, they offer efficiency that cannot be gained any other way. Before using them, it's often worth it to invest a little bit of time into becoming familiar with the way they work.

Barry Hannah's Long Shadow

One afternoon in July, the author Barry Hannah took to the small roads south of Oxford, Mississippi, where he lives, to visit the grave of friend and fellow writer Larry Brown. Hannah hadn’t been out this way in some months. He missed an important turn at a place called the Yocona River Inn and had to stop at a country store to ask directions...

Grow Your Own Spring Salad Mix | Garden Guides

If you're craving fresh greens and horrifed by supermarket prices, why not grow your own? Nothing tastes fresher and sweeter than a spring salad just picked from your own windowsill or garden.The best time to harvest Mesclun is early in the morning before the sun is high; heat causes wilting. Start harvesting when the greens are two inches long, never letting them get more than six inches tall; use scissors to snip them off just above the growing crowns (about one inch above the soil level). This is called the cut-and-come-again method because the crop will grow back; if you water and lightly fertilize after harvesting, the greens should be ready for harvest again soon.

What Is Kombucha?

Kombucha is a living health drink made by fermenting tea and sugar with the kombucha culture. The result can taste like something between sparkling apple cider and champagne, depending on what kind of tea you use. It's not what you'd imagine fermented tea to taste like.

Masticating Juicer

A masticating juicer is the answer to every juicing problem. Because it operates on the mastication process, this type of juicer chews the fibers and breaks up the cells of vegetables and fruits. This give you more fiber, enzymes, vitamins and trace minerals. This all results in the darker, richer color of the juice and a sweeter, richer more full-bodied flavor.

Omega 9000 Juicer

I have one of these! I just bought it on craigslist, but it's called a "Imperial Golden Harvest 9901" - I think it's the same thing. If you like juicing, join the Zoobird Juice Lovers group.

Is there such a thing as the best juicer?

This article has great tips about juicing.

Gone all the dark clouds that made me blind
