Green Earth Organics pt.2

it’s glorious…

These delicious, fresh, muddy fruits and vegetables were delivered to my door in a big blue bin (see previous post).

Green Earth Organics

I have missed the basil boat many times.  Since I will be moving soon, I can’t bring myself to start growing some now. I have, however, started sprouting an avocado seed”(though [...]

Lentil Soup

This has been one of my staple foods this year. The base is always a bag of dried lentils, a big pot of water, and whatever vegetables I have in the refrigerator (it just occurred to me that “refrigerator” is such a bizarre word! it’s so… functional. i can just imagine a group of engineers [...]

Introduction

This is a food blog. I have been thinking recently about why I want to eat better and how I’m going to do it. I thought a fun way to do it would be through a photoblog: recipes, student-friendly ideas, ethical eating, good meals…
