This is just a quick post because I have just discovered Susan Weed’s site Wise Women Weblog and her radio show where she interviews empowering women. Sally Fallon has been one of my heroes ever since I first picked up her cookbook Nourishing Traditions
in 2001. Reading her book finally made nutrition make sense, the continuous contradictions that were coming out about long held nutritional ideas since them has fallen in line exactly as Sally Fallon has stated. Her book is my main go-to cookbook in my kitchen, the principals around food contained in this website are geared towards traditional roots cooking as a result.
This interview covers a wide variety of various aspects of our modern industrial food and nutrition and how to get back to a more healing traditional way of eating and preparing our foods. Very good interview! I highly recommend taking the time to listen to it.

I was given a special treat this year for my birthday--lunch out at the Sha Lin Noodle House in Vancouver, BC. They don't take reservations so we crowded into the doorway to get out of the rain and hovered hungrily over the nearest table, the wait wasn't long and we were soon seated with a great vie ...

I have just finished reading the incredible book Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts who escaped from an Australian jail and ended up in Bombay (Mumbai) where he got in to all kinds of crazy and dangerous situations. It is a huge chunk of a book, but written so well. Some parts of it are very hard to ...

On the evening of August 20th 2009, I took my 20 minute walk, laden with water for my garden. It was the night of the black moon but I was happy loping down the hill the my little bit of greenspace. When I arrived and realized the garden had been mowed to the ground I was in such a state of shock, I ...

In the spring the birds feast on the sumac as there isn't much else available.
