Food Musings

I'm reading Harvest for Hope right now. It's an excellent book about where our food comes from (the subtitle is A Guide to Mindful Eating.) I checked it out from my local library, along with another book called The Real Food Revival.

I've made a decision to eat as organically as possible. I'm making an effort to stop spending my money on needless crap and start buying better food.

Some of my favorite tasty items:

• Brown Cow Yogurt (cream top)
  

• Endangered Species Chocolate (I like the blueberry dark choc.)
• Ginger Spread (thanks to Priscilla, who brought me a jar of this one day at work. I haven't stopped buying it ever since. I love it on a peanut butter sandwich or to add a bit of sweetness to my oatmeal, or just on toast...)
• Reed's Ginger Juice Brew is another favorite ginger item, but I have only been able to find it once, in a co-op in Grand Forks MN. I like it because it is not carbonated.
  
• Thunder Cookies (you can only get these if you happen to find yourself in or around Duluth. They're made at the Positively Third St. Bakery and can be found in local co-ops, but nowhere in Mpls. that I know of.)
  
• Organic Mangoes (I know, most fruit is better organic, but truly, once you have an organic mango you'll never go back)
• Birchwood Granola (they sell it by the bag at the restaurant)
