We love to entertain and hate to toss out anything that might prove useful later on. Of course, what that means is quite a little collection of empty wine bottles and the corks to match. Luckily, it’s time to get our Fall garden planted, and our boozy hoarding behavior might just pay off!
When I was in elementary school, Wednesdays were beefaroni day. My pops and I called it “barfaroni,” and we made sure to pack a lunch for me on Wedesdays. Not every kid was lucky enough to have a family like mine or can afford to pack a lunch even once a week. [...]
In honor of National Tequila Day we are featuring 4Copas Organic Tequila. I’ve had the pleasure of trying their Anejo and their Blanco and both were top notch. What I like so much about 4Copas, besides being USDA certified organic and tasting good, they have put a lot care into their process. To start, 4Copas uses [...]
Disposable coffee cups are responsible for the deaths of over 6.5 million trees each year! In 2006 it is estimated that 16 billion of these beasts found their way into the trash creating over 250 million pounds of solid waste. No need to fear, these little short lived monsters can easily be stopped by the use of a simple household item... a REUSABLE coffee mug.
"How much do we really know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families?" For most, the answer is very little. Of all the social and environmental issues we face today, "what we eat" is probably the most important and the most urgent. Food, Inc, a new documentary by Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing many of the shocking truths about what we eat, how it's produced and who is calling the shots.
Feliz Cinco de Mayo! I'll be heading out for the evening, but if you are staying in or having people over try out this killer organic Margarita recipe for a little liqurious goodness:
So you've harvested more apples than you could possibly eat, but you really want a bunch of tomatoes to put up for the winter. Or all of a sudden you have oodles of cucumbers in your garden, but no peppers. Maybe you want to sell your garden surplus to other local folks, but don't have a way to get the word out. A new online community, Veggie Trader, could help you to make all of the local garden connections you need this summer.
Two enterprising Portlanders are fueling their passion for organic food, local agriculture, and bicycles with a soup-er business: SoupCycle. Jed and Shauna, self-proclaimed Soupetarians, delivery fresh, homemade soup, bread, and salad direct to homes and offices by bicycle. It’s almost enough to make me want to move to Portland…
We take it for granted but access to clean drinking water is a huge problem in many areas of the world. Particularly 3rd world countries that lack the infrastructure to deliver potable water are forced to deal with what they have, which usually means boiling water before drinking it. This is an effective way of [...]
A Berkeley company called Sky Vegetables says the sky is the limit when it comes to local food. Their business is farming the rooftops of grocery stores. They plan to harvest ripe vegetables and sell them downstairs in the supermarket, eliminating up to 80% of the cost of production and distribution. The model calls for [...]
