endless food ways work
I'm always changing my work, as there are endless ways to think about food.
I used to think that I wanted to be a hat maker, but I don't think that would have worked out.
I try not to do anything that's immoral.
finding health outcome
I think health is the outcome of finding a balance and some satisfaction at the table.
optimist
I am an optimist of the first order.
Grass-fed cattle are leaner. But it's not true that they are less flavorful.
equipment food touching
A lot of equipment can get in the way of the connection with food, with touching and feeling.

food
I'm unwilling to eat food that has been adulterated.

I have a fireplace in my kitchen that I light every night, no matter what.
children nourish positive tend themselves ways
If we want children to learn to tend the land and nourish themselves and have conversations at the table, we need to communicate with them in ways that are positive.
interested
I used to do calligraphy, and I'm afraid that has lapsed, but I've always been interested in book printing.

With vegetables, you have to be careful where they come from; you have to know the farmers and trust them. If you buy from the farmers' market, it's already been investigated.
