She rests in an organic bath, untouched by the chaos of modern life. A playful take on society’s pursuit of health, relaxation, and nature in an often artificial world.
Soaking pasta in water with a bit of sea salt overnight seems a good idea. When the tomato sauce has been almost cooked, put the soaked pasta in the same pot, cook them for another few minutes, and it's done.
This organic pasta made out of whole spelt by Alce Nero tastes terrific.
It might have been better if I added beans or something, but the ingredients I used this time are, tomato, onion, garlic, turmeric, cacao, chili pepper, black pepper, sea salt, and pasta, with olive oil, oregano, and rosemary on top.
A few years ago, Allison and I weren't really thrilled with how we were eating and how it impacted how we felt.
So we started eating more salads, more fruits and vegetables. More real food instead of processed. And noticed a difference.
We reached a plateau for a couple of years and are now in the process of taking the next step. We are more about making slow, incremental changes over time rather than major changes in one day.
For this next round, we are focusing on three areas. One, sugar intake. Two, chemical intake. Three, organic food.
We ran a survey this past weekend. We shop for groceries at two sister stores. The first is a discounted chain and the second is a little higher priced. We walked through both stores and wrote down the price of both organic and non-organic foods at each of the stores.
On average - we found that a fruit or vegetable costs about $0.75 to upgrade from non-organic to organic. Since we average 12 or so fruits and vegetables each week: our net add to go to organic will be $9 a week.
If that cost is too big, I would suggest only buying organic based on the Dirty Dozen List. These are the top 12 fruits and vegetables that have the most pesticide residue and therefore are the most important to buy organic. Buying four items on this list would add $3 to your trip and would be a small incremental change. :)
Happy, safe and healthy Friday to you my friend.
Part of a Chihuly sculpture. I find that I often don't care for his pieces as a whole, but that individual parts make interesting abstracts.

Okay okay. Self timer, on Bri's boat, on Kelly's Island. Supposed to be a normal "Here we are on a weekend vacation" photo. But I fell over and couldn't stop laughing and it was all caught on film.
The City of Milwaukee has partnered with Compost Crusader so start an "Organics collection" on the East Side of Milwaukee. Residents that want to participate will pay a small fee to "rent" the cart.
Walking down Rue de Médicis in Paris headed to the Jardin du Luxembourg and the street is lined with fabulous architecture. The organic shapes of the leaves created a great organic design against the buildings glowing in the afternoon light.
Fertilizers, pesticides and animal feed are practically nonexistent in Batanes. Cattle typically roam free in the undulating hills and mountains, living off only on the natural pasturelands and watering holes. There are even WILD cattle interior of Batan in an area dubbed as Marlboro country. Probably the only regular "export" from Batanes is organic beef that is coveted gourmet fare in mainland Manila.
It is illegal to bring in meat and meat products into Batanes to prevent contamination and disease introduction. Only male cattle can be butcherered legally. Females are given a free pass for population propagation.
