So much to say!

Here are a few highlights of this week already (and it's only Wednesday!!):

1. Astor Class, American Heritage. Discussed the appeal (both agriculturally and economically) of raising heritage livestock breeds. For reasons that range from natural parasite resistant coats to weed/crop management (eating the weeds and fertilizing the soil) to marketable in the farming fad. Fascinating class and makes me want chickens even more!

2. The Encyclopedia of Cajun & Creole Cuisine. One of the biggest surprises I've ever found at my desk! My friend, Panini Pete, sent me a signed copy of this incredible, massive book. I flip through the pages when I need a break from work-reality.

3. NY Times article, Stars Are Aligning Over School Lunch Programs. I don't need to tell you how passionate I am about school nutrition. Just wish they would have mentioned our Good Food Gardens!
