I am excited to get tomatoes from the farmers market tomorrow- I haven’t had any yet this summer.

I actually get annoyed at the articles that make it a challenge, and present it as some extreme sport – “I went a year drinking no coffee, and growing my own wheat with a grow light in the basement…” I can tell you, I’m not giving up my Indian spices for ANYTHING. Who cares if they come from Sri Lanka…

For me it is about options. Once one starts looking around at what IS available locally, and asking stores what they have that’s local a) it starts a great dialogue and b) you end up with some great new discoveries about local foods that you didn’t know before. It broadens your pallette, not limits it.

Dear Barbara:
RE: woks
In your blog article “Let’s talk woks”, in one place you write about a wok with a 6 1/2 inch bottom circumference and in another place you mention one with an 8 inch diameter.

Please let me remind you that circumference = diameter x Pi or 2 Pi Radius, so both terms can not be used interchangeably. I would appreciate if you could clarify this matter.

congratulations on your blog, very good and professional. I look at it almost daily

best regards

Rob

As a late mention, I loved the beekeeping essay as well.
