1. Stone Soup Pizza, including patio basil pesto and sheepsmilk cheese. 2. The elements in my oven are actually red. Whats up with that?

My garden is exploding! It's hard to believe that the plants in the white bin in the far back were once seedlings... Or even the babies in this photo!

i accomplished something!

see?

or would you rather save 6,000,000 people?

I went to see An Inconvenient Truth this evening with Laura. I was kind of planning to avoid it, selfishly feeling as though I were just the choir.

The thing is, I generally feel that I live a relatively low-impact lifestyle. I drive a pretty fuel efficient car, and I try not to drive it when I don't need to. I take the vanpool whenever I can. I recycle, and I turn most things off (ok, I like the lights on when I'm home at night), I grow a garden on my patio, I try to buy local food to save on shipping. I live in one of the most environmentally conscious cities in the country. You know, the stuff everyone else I know does.

Clearly, I was not factoring in my flights for work. Air travel is apparently one of the most polluting things we can do as single human beings -- just flying the 40,000 miles last year doubled my carbon output.

Perhaps another reason to quit?

Who Me, A Gardener

Today was the Wallingford Farmer's Market, and I went determined to spend only $10. I spent the first $4 on smoked salmon, and on my way back through I walked past fresh strawberries, beautiful local apples and cherries, apricots, carrots... and I then spent my last $6 on worm pee.

The Great Ramen Challenge

hmm. the wontons were odd, but the broth had enough MSG to be tasty.

vacation: day 1

kayaking, gardening, a movie, sitting in the sun, sushi, coffee and a walk at the lake.

John drew this for me to help demonstrate what's missing from my workplace. Oooh, so THAT'S how it's done...
