Food Preservation is Cool!

Guess what’s in the Times today? I guess I picked the right time to write _Independence Days_! We’re trendy (at least today 
)!

Yes Sharon, but do you include instructions for assuming the “full peacock” position between canning chores? The article made me chortle and it wasn’t just the NYT smarminess.
We dehydrated strawberries this weekend . . . my partner was extremely skeptical but he helped — asking all the while why I thought this would be worthwhile. Upon sampling the finished product, he wanted to know when we could get more strawberries.
A little late, but my IDC update:
Still a challenge with a healing hand but…
Plant Something:
Planted pole beans, squash, luffas and perennials
Harvest Something:
herbs and a little lettuce
Preserve Something:
not this week
Reduce Waste:
Created a list of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle tips for the office green page. Harvested a load of used printer paper to cut down and use instead of post-its in the office
Preparation and Storage:
Stored a water-proof supply of candles and matches in the basement storage area
Build Community Food Systems:
Working on a “raised bed” team at work to create and maintain an organic garden at work
Eat the Food:
Made a big bowl of 4-bean salad, a great way to use food storage!
Hope you’re having a good week!
I perform tons of number gathering for these types of games because I feel that the past will usually give us an idea of what may happen in the future. I’m sure you know that more often than not its impossible to know the winning team in the NFL. This is the main reason why I recommend using statistics for sports.
