Deciding what to eat for dinner & making the best food choices is certainly a dilemma. 🤔💭

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌖 Definitely better than Ishmael, much more engaging dialogue and a better understanding of the characters and setting. I did feel the need to dock a small amount for personal preference because of the slump it left me on halfway through the book. I wasn't expecting that turn in the story, and it honestly didn't appeal to me at all, just made it seem boring.

Started this one a few days ago. I like it a lot more than Ishmael, that's for sure! This book so far is like Ishmael with better back-and-forth dialogue and characterization.

Anyone who remotely cares about how food is sourced, grown, or made should read this book.

#CoverStories #Barn Spin wool , make cheese, make bricks ,cure bacon! My grandparents could make almost everything, I have always been interested in the old folkways. If we keep going the dystopian way we all may need books like this !

sarahbarnes I‘ve always been interested too. And agreed. 1mo
Eggs I can totally relate - my parents were born in 1910 and 1913, and were old-school self-sufficient! 1mo
Leftcoastzen @Eggs people didn‘t have much of a choice back then , no money to pay for it even if you could find people to do it 1mo

Eggs @Leftcoastzen I used to make soap, candles, bread, yogurt, clothing, slipper socks, scarves, quilts, grow gardens, can/preserve and more. But it‘s really rough on the hands and wrists!!! 1mo
Leftcoastzen @Eggs Wow , that‘s amazing ! Also, that‘s why people got worn out at a younger age . There wasn‘t alternatives . I helped my grandmother can , and we made butter together in a large jar size churn . Even she said , bread takes too much time ! I‘ll just buy it at the grocery store. Once it was readily available!😁 (edited) 1mo
Eggs @Leftcoastzen Awesome 👏🏻 1mo

"The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”

The debut of fair-trade-certified coffee in the United States in 1999 was an important event. After years of growth, fair-trade-sales in Europe had begun to stagnant and in some cases even decline. The United States consumes an astounding one-fifth of the world‘s coffee—more than any other nation-making coffee the country‘s single most valuable food import. ☕️

Plenty: Eating Locally on the 100-Mile Diet | Alisa Smith, J B MacKinnon

I enjoyed this take on local eating that shows how, even in a small apartment in a northern climate, one can eat locally. I loved the personal insights and farmer portraits. And it made me hungry, which is the best thing I can say about a food book. 😂 Picture is part of our haul from this week‘s farmers market. It‘s winter squash season!

The Wrong Way Home | Kate O'Shaughnessy

Fern and her mom live at a sustainable farm in upstate NY, with a leader named “Dr Ben”, a stern ruler. It‘s the only home she can remember bc she was little when they moved there. When Mom absconds with her and drives to a California beach town saying that Ben is dangerous, Fern is furious and makes it her mission to get back “home”…

So heartful and well written🩵🩵

I cannot say enough good about this book. So charming, so fun, so narrative, so warm, inviting and yet it challenges you as well. I look forward to coming back to this one!

marleed Same. I usually keep my 5* reads because it‘s such a fun collection to peruse and reconsider. But I gave this book away because I knew a perfect reader for it. Food prep isn‘t among my favorite pastimes so I‘d suck at sourcing local foods but I think about it often - particularly when I peel a banana. 10mo
Bethanyroe Haha! That‘s perfect!!! 10mo
