Back Home
19 May 2008
I'm back at home after a marathon driving session.
Rushed home last Friday to see my son's soccer game and spend some quality time in the backyard - the garden needed planting and I always manage to put it off until its almost too late. Done. Planted corn, tomatoes, peas, beets, lettuce, zucchini, summer squash, spinach, Kale and Collards. Mmmm.
I've switched to a mostly plant-based diet - no red meat, chicken or pork. A bit of salmon or other fish now and then. I'm also cutting out milk and going way down on dairy (cheese being the hardest). I make veggie smoothies for lunch and they are awesome - I just throw whatever I have into the blender with some OJ and some mixed frozen berries.
We also subscribe to a CSA - a local farm fills a box of veggies and fruit every week and we collect it in Fall City. Very cool, very local and awesome. The genesis for this dietary adventure? The China Study and The Omnivore's Dilemma - both books are good reads and provide much, ahem, food for thought.
No more industrial agriculture for this man. I'm really trying to wean the kids as well, but that is proving a bit harder.
Here are a few more pictures from last week's Moab Trip.
