Well, in a moment of insanity I agreed to go to Vegas to give a few talks. This will be a major challenge to organic living. .. How do you keep organic when the conventionals control the food supply? So far I’ve come up with stashing healthy snacks in the laptop bag and bringing a [...]

 I just got back from my brother’s place (computer emergency) and noticed that the spice rack situation has further deteriorated. Now, not only are some spices in glass jars to let the light in, but they are on this shelf thing positioned right in front of the window. .. Sort of an effort made to get [...]

 Over the weekend I visited my parents who are still doing good .. well into their 80’s. My father always ate vegi’s and worked hard. My mother too ate well and was a very hard worker. Great people, sometimes they can’t believe I’m actually related to them.
 But however great it is to visit them, it’s always [...]

 This isn’t for everyone but the most die-hard of garlic fans. Here’s the deal. Right now I’m having a mid-afternoon snack of mixed hot organic veggies. And, being a garlic head, I like to occasionally ramp it up. So before I serve the veggies I take a clove of raw garlic and cut it into thin slices [...]

 Spice up your boring Yellow Mustard …  Open a Beer and pour into a glass a few hours before. Let it sit in the frig to go flat. Then combine the following:

Organic Chile Peppers chopped fine (the type and amount are up to you. It all depends upon how hot you want it).
3/4 Cup of Organic Yellow Mustard
1/4 Cup [...]

 Had to quickly pick up some Kale last night so was forced to go the conventional route at the local Biggie Mart. If you’ve ever tried to wash Kale you’ll know that the stuff acts like it’s totally waterproof. That is, water will not wash over it but beads up .. “like water on a [...]

 My friend Diane and I wanted to get out to play a game or two of  rummy. Going to the local bar or coffee house wasn’t quite right since we also wanted something that was both good & real to eat. So we sauntered down to the local Whole Foods Market to hit their salad bar.
 The first [...]
