5 foods it’s cheaper to grow – MSN Money
August 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Food, money
Great article. Growing your own food is great, it’s sustainable (though I think people throw this word around too much), and it’s a fun hobby. But from a purely financial viewpoint, it often costs more to grow things yourself than it does to just buy them at the store. Other reasons aside, people don’t always [...]

June 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Food, Photography
Took this last weekend of one of the peach trees in the yard. Did I mention how much I love having peach trees in the yard?!? Let’s just hope that the organic stuff I sprayed on ‘em this year keeps them from getting all buggy in a month or two. First time I’ve sprayed them!

Good news for people who don’t always want to believe the marketing hype: “The U.S. Department of Agriculture in April adopted scientifically verifiable standards for nomenclature such as “virgin” or “extra virgin.” They will start enforcing them in October, just in time for the harvest of trees that are now in full flower.” via What [...]

Home Cooking for Sale – NYTimes.com
June 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · Food
Interesting article about the people who sell their home cooked food items at flea markets and other places. It’s going to be very regulated soon, but up until now it’s really flown under the radar. I hope in places outside of the metro New York, Boston, &tc. still get a change to build this up [...]
