Thanks, reading this entry finally motivated me to pick up The Omnivore’s Dilemma.

Wow, I was not disappointed! One revelation after another! The supermarket aisles do not look the same any more.

I’ve been roasting my own coffee for a while, so maybe I was ready for this and not everyone will react the same way, but I’m going to get a bunch of these to give to friends…

I’m in the middle of The Omnivore’s Dilemma in audiobook format. My boss recommended it to me as it informs a lot of our company’s guiding philosophy. It made me all the more thankful that I work at Pike Place and have access to the sort of produce I think will be best for me. Now I just need to find some nice grass-fed beef…

I also have his other book waiting for me in audiobook format for when I finish this one. I audible.com.

Sea Breeze Farms eggs are fantastic. And, if you don’t mind a bit of a trek out to Vashon Island, you can get them at almost any time… they have a self-serve shop.

hehe you have learned the farmers markets rules. Our area finally has a Slow Foods convivia I’ve been helping with and it’s been a blast. It’s neat to watch how the farmers markets have two crowds. The early risers grab all the best and are there at opening 7:30-8:30, then there is a lull and the 9:30-10a-ers arrive. The crowds are very different; early birds are generally a part of the movement, know what they want, enjoy a talk with the farmer, etc. The later guys come in droves with their groups, chat and browse more than shop. Interesting stuff.

Careful walking down this path, it’s a doorway through the looking glass. hehehe!

Ballard Farmers market. Skagit River ranch. Gotta get there by 10:30, less than 4 dollars a dozen. And seabreeze farms has duck eggs for 5 dollar a dozen. Large yummy duck eggs 12 for 5 dollars. So good and thick shelled you dont even have to refridgerate them.
