We made it through one of the driest springs I can remember, with a relatively good looking garden at Primavera Montessori, thanks to the hard work of a bunch of kids and a few dedicated parents. Click through for recipes that we cooked in class this season.
In between working on the orchard/chicken-run fence and praying for quail eggs, I’ve come across quite a few notable items on the web. Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!
We recently added Coturnix (aka Japanese) Quail to our backyard flock of chickens and ducks, and I’m looking forward to some little spotted eggs as soon as they get settled from the move. They aren’t too fond of us just yet, but quail are relatively easy to take care of and very efficient egg (and meat) producers.
Another massive beef recall because of e. coli–Please pass Kevin’s Law.
Last night I saw Food Inc., the new documentary on the industrial food system, and I think it’s a movie absolutely everyone should see. It stylishly weaves together the whole (often sad) story of our food into a more approachable format than say, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, so that a much wider audience will know the high cost of cheap food.
There is a group of nice looking food films being released this summer. Someone should put together a film festival
