The Friday Feedback Forum

May 21st, 2010 - posted under: Furthermore » Feedback

Oi! I am SO glad it’s the weekend! I had a very long and grinding work week, so tonight I whipped up a feast of southern-style comfort food: BBQ tofu, gluten free cornbread, sauteed collard greens, a giant huge enormous salad, and plain ol’ peas + corn. Oh, and peach iced tea. YUM! That and a huge dose of guilty-pleasure reality TV is doing us right this night. =)

So now I’m ready for all your comments, critiques, thoughts, support, and suggestions.

What about you, how was your week? And did you bike to work today? (Damian did, in the wind and pouring rain!) What do you want to see from me? More food? More fashion? More farm? (more furthermore? like what??)

As usual, the Feedback Forum will remain here at the top of the page all weekend, so if you’ve got an idea or a question or you just want to introduce yourself and say ‘Oi!’, you can stop back by any time. This is your community, so get involved and have your say!

I’ll be working all through the weekend, but I hope to get some good garden and play time in too. Hope you all get what you need this weekend!

Damian and I like to start our warm-weather weekends right, with our ritual trip to the Saturday morning Farmer’s Market. We have this ongoing challenge (it begins anew each annual market cycle) where every week, along with all our produce staples, we choose one unique. We try to choose something special and in-season, but it [...]

Drinking Green

No, I’m not referring to the recently legalized Absinthe (yum!), and I’m not even making some eco-allusion to socially responsible beverages. Nope, I’m being quite literal here: I’m really talking about drinking. Drinking things that are green. In the past I’ve written about green smoothies, and since then my adoration has only grown. I start [...]

Spring On My Micro-Farm, and the 2010 Tiny Garden

May 17th, 2010 - posted under: The Farm » Flora

The time has come for backyard adventures, for glorious dirt-digging and sowing seeds and dreaming of all the bounty to come. Last year I went all out, utilizing a variety of small-scale garden techniques to maximize my plantable ‘acreage’, without sacrificing the play space for the beasties. It was mostly successful and so much fun, [...]

National ‘Bike To Work’ Day Is This Friday, 21 May!

May 17th, 2010 - posted under: Furthermore » Inspiration

Just a quick reminder my dears, this coming Friday is Bike To Work Day – the third Friday in May. This is, of course, in honor of bike month which spans the entire month of May. And serendipitously, all of this relates to the Monthly Mission this May, to drive less! Alas, I work from [...]
