I am weighing the pros and cons about CSA, I just think we may waste a lot of food, and I would have to change my cooking habits from what to I "feel" like to what we have...Accidental Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323119963891941270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248667374245874782.post-5425510009947737652011-09-30T05:22:23.349-07:002011-09-30T05:22:23.349-07:00I became disenchanted when I realized that the maj...I became disenchanted when I realized that the majority of the people selling at my farmers market are not the actual farmer/grower/harvester, they are just someone (wo)manning a booth. Many of the booths sound like local farms and aren't, they're just companies. Maybe it's time to revisit CSA.AstoundMeGohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702129306063830268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248667374245874782.post-76418322306390164172011-09-29T15:19:51.799-07:002011-09-29T15:19:51.799-07:00Braeburn are delicious.

There I said it and I am now singlehandedly setting the woman's movement back 40 years. "<br /><br />The entire point of agitating for & demanding change from the system is to gain the ability to exercise a full range of choices. SAHM= valuable and from what I see, very rewarding. Of course with more choices come more maybes. Luxuriate in the indecision, fodder for writing!

I'm trying to learn to enjoy the journey and not focus on the destination which really shouldn't be difficult but somehow just is. I think they beat the fun of the journey out of us in grades K through 12 and reinforce the destination throughout college. Sigh. I love the idea of cooking but the cooking itself, so it's good for me to be reminded to enjoy the process; thanks!!AstoundMeGohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702129306063830268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248667374245874782.post-83000611592878396802011-05-31T13:57:30.352-07:002011-05-31T13:57:30.352-07:00amen sistahamen sistahAstoundMeGohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702129306063830268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248667374245874782.post-70971923591290302602011-05-26T05:19:53.668-07:002011-05-26T05:19:53.668-07:00a nurse-in? brilliant!! how badly do you wish yo...a nurse-in? brilliant!! how badly do you wish you were a nursing mother in that town on that day to be one of the protesters?<br /><br />it amazes and saddens me that anyone could be offended by nursing. we have no problem calling for published photos of a supposedly murdered man, but don't make me see your child being fed as nature intended.<br /><br />sometimes people are very, very sick.AstoundMeGohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702129306063830268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248667374245874782.post-89275423072109477522011-05-25T10:58:05.383-07:002011-05-25T10:58:05.383-07:00ooh this sounds delectable, I'll defniitely gi...ooh this sounds delectable, I'll defniitely give it a whirl...

I am SO proud of you. I am SO grateful for this organization. I would never have thought to go there as an adult but they were certainly awesome when I was a young teen getting all sexy for the first time. What a phenomenal experience and how sad that it casts further light on our crappy medical system that you can get excellent service at a free clinic but you can't get any service at a place that takes money from your insurance.AstoundMeGohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702129306063830268noreply@blogger.com
