Yesterday I introduced the (if I do say so myself), fabulous More Than Just Leaves coalition, in which members of the community who would like to see raw food options (besides just salads!) on local restaurant menus request said items by handing out a soon-to-be-released-on-this-site flier to managers, owners and waitstaff of local eateries when…
This week is my Birthday Week! When my kiddo was little, we would do something fun together every day of Birthday Week: bowling, or a board game, or a special dinner. Fun. This Birthday Week has been filled with my particular brand of fun, and also Gratitude. I’m grateful for so many things–for everything and…
Well, I love this! Sometimes I tire of preparing food, and/or find myself dishing up the same three or four meals over and over and over . Preparing food for one can be boring and annoying. Sure, it can also be fun and full of freedom, and I’m often just as happy and grateful to…
This is going to be short: shop your local Farmer’s Markets! Not only is the selection of organic, in-season, local produce incredible, but the community experience is heart-healing and fun! My great friend Carey and I hit the Sunday Farmer’s Market here as often as we can, and always enjoy spending time together while we shop in the open air. We invariably come home with great produce at a much reduced rate from the local co op, and I’m often inspired by available ingredients to whip up something I might not have thought of otherwise. Support local farmers! We need them!
Sacramento boasts tons of local wildlife. Well, maybe it doesn’t always boast, but I do. I always have my eye out for anything that moves, and a lot of time it’s a fascinating creature (I often see creatures when they’re not there in fact, including the time I thought that a purple cabbage in the bowling alley—-what?!?—was a half a duck—yes, I was sober, don’t ask). If you read my initial welcome post, you know I see lots of animals, birds, fish, insects…lots of friends in this city. I can always reenergize myself by simply looking up from my computer into the trees outside my windows, and if I see a bird (two days ago an enormous hawk landed right outside my kitchen!) or a bug, all the better.
Great Tattoo, Jenny! I feel so lucky to live in Sacramento for a lot of reasons, but a BIG one? I’m only a mile or so from the Natural Foods Co-op, YAY! I’m just gonna let the co-op speak for itself: ~Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op is part of a larger food community that include farmers,…
