Appreciate The Timeless Wonder
We've just ordered seeds for this year's garden. Soon our best-lit windowsills, and the window-shelves crafted for this specific purpose, will be covered with newly sprouted plants. Tomatoes, squash, corn, and melons, getting a head start inside, will crowd out the potted house plants. I don't think I'll be truly satisfied until we grow or gather everything we eat.

I used to think that I'd be much happier growing and gathering the things I ate. After one summer of eating grass and weeds, I went back to buying food.
I'm rubbish at growing.
Except for growing myself.
I'm quite tall!!
UTMG:
I think it's a virus, actually. I didn't catch it until about 5 years ago, when my resistance was down. It's funny, since I'd been exposed to it since childhood without even a mild outbreak earlier.
Joe,
I have often wished I could graze, and avoid planning and cooking meals.
Being able to graze would be brilliant.
I feel a themed restaurant coming on......
UTMG,
And it will be your job to write the theme song for the TV advertisement, while I decorate the napkins (and bibs). Joe can be in charge of planning the menu.
Everyone,
You can all help too, you know. Any restaurant of mine...
Are you good people vegetable-tarians?
I have had a liver complication which squarely puts me at odds with eating moo, oink and cluck.
I need some tasty vegetable-tarian recipes that will give me the essentials.
I've got to go low iron, low carb, low sugar.
Can you help?
PS: I have a black thumb, not to mention a family of rabbits and deer in the back yard!
Sprocket,
Welcome.
Only on occasion, in my case. In this most venerable country, hospitals or related organisations supply cookbooks or recipe collections for specific restrictive diets, for instance after operations. Have you checked that out? It's so hard checking values for each meal, and much easier if someone's gone to the trouble before you. Otherwise, it wouldn't seem difficult to combine low iron with vegetarian cuisine, as long as you avoid soybeans. The opposite is usually the problem. There's a great vegetarian cookbook called "The Moosewood Cookbook" that is my favorite cookbook period. Good luck! You are also welcome to come by and graze here whenever you feel the urge.
Steve,
Are you saying that you have mammal seeds? Are they small enough to fit in a regular envelope?
Good luck with your garden . Spring is only about 6 months away . Then I think we go right to winter .
The restaurant could be called
"A Grazing Place"
The tv advert would go something like this:
(to the tune of amazing grace):
A grazing place
How sweet the ground
Oh save a space for me
I once used plates
But now i've found
The way to eat for me.....
J - Sprocket it Thomas re-invented. I'll check out that cookbook!
UTMG - great jingle! I like that you chose a Common Meter for the tune (which as you say fits Amazing Grace) but it's almost universal - so you can switch up the jingle keeping the advertising fresh and innovative, yet consistent ... yes, save a place for me!
Charles,
I see you got snow again. It will melt. I promise.
ummmm...tomatoes.
let's set up our own seasonal vegetable trading system. we can be self-sufficient in a group.
UTMG,
Very good. Very very very good. I was playing with "Grass Roots", but I came no further.
Fille,
I bought a tomato today that didn't deserve the name. If I'd been blindfolded I wouldn't have recognized it. I like the idea. We will be dependent upon Consise in Australia (and she upon us), and we will have to enlist the aid of a steward/stewardess or two to avoid postage costs, but it could work....
Sprocket,
"Sprocket it Thomas re-invented."??? Have patience with me, but I am most humbly ignorant of the cipher to this code. If I was supposed to understand, that is.
I want to go to "A Grazing Place"... sounds like the in place to eat. Shall I import some California grown watermelons and plums?
And let me know Jeanne when Steve sends the mammal seeds. Are they perennials?
Yes I do have mammal seeds. I have a factory which makes them...
Apparently. Or so my daddy told me, a long time ago. They are designed to make little versions of me, which in itself isn't such a bad thing.
Unfortunately, they don't last long enough to post.
Steve,
Those are only half-seeds, and not to be spilled on the ground, or so I've heard. I was hoping for something revolutionary. :)
