I have been checking out the blog and finding some tidbits I had forgotten about. It is easy to make a lot out of the loss of nutrients in processed food — we likely are not getting all of the nutrients we need if we eat primarily out of packages of ready-to-microwave food. But what…

Hilarious depression video, contest results still pending
I should venture on to YouTube more. You never know what you are going to find and if it makes you laugh, all the better. Here is a Chris Rock interview on a natural cure for depression. Nope, it’s not weed. It’s hard liquor. There is a classic moment at 2 minutes 5 seconds where…
Paper mache cow, a new craft phase
We haven’t had a craft phase in this house in well over a year, but Frederick is making up for lost time. In his last big phase, he made the “Pollan Paintings.” While I was in Seattle, he crafted this paper mache cow. My favorite part is the water balloon udder (pictured below). Technorati Tags:…
Heckled At The Raw Milk Symposium
I have survived the AVMA raw milk symposium and, more importantly, survived the flying with a seven-month-old baby. Seattle is as wonderful as I remember it and even provided us with two clear, sunny days while we were there. I may post an analysis on the Ethicurean but until then, I thought I would add…
Raw milk madness, more giveaway goodies
I can hear the firecrackers popping as I make my way north to Seattle for the raw milk symposium sponsored by the American Veterinarian Medical Association. It appears that some speakers are worried that their talk will be the most controversial. Most of us prefer not to have that designation. I spoke to another speaker…
Bloggers, post your blog here
I have really enjoyed reading blogs by people entering the contest and I need to get more organized. I think I’ll put them all in Google Reader together to keep track. I know I am missing some, so please put your blog on this post so I can add it. Should I ever get really…
Save money on gourmet items; latest giveaway results
For Nourishing Gourmet’s weekly Pennywise Platter (which you should read for more money-saving food tips ~~ here is this week’s post), I thought I would share one of my favorite frugal secrets — The Grocery Outlet. If you are located in the western United States, you may just have this discount food store near you….
Armenian salad of roasted vegetables, a perfect summer garden meal
One of our favorite meals packed with produce from our own garden was inspired by a visit to an Armenian restaurant in Fresno, California. Mom writes: Amanda and I stopped for lunch at a small family-run Armenian restaurant. The meal was fine. But, what we vividly remember is salad. This was served first. And, I…
Huck Finn Fourth of July? Plus Another Winner In The Giveaway
Only in a small rural community could we ever have such an Independence Day celebration as we had yesterday. We live in the Sequoia National Forest about fifteen minutes from the southern-most stand of Giant Sequoia trees, the largest trees on Earth. Our mountain community houses about 1,000 people, if you cast a wide net,…
Appreciating: Sheets on the clothesline
My camera is one of my favorite tools to help me appreciate my surroundings. “Appreciating” was one of the strategies I used in April to get through a rough patch; I took pictures of anything that was quirky or beautiful, including this picture of “sheets on the clothesline.” My hunch is that this picture would…
Energy-boosting, mood-lifting, and frugal: A liver round-up
“There’s something about liver” is my code phrase for: “We know it is packed with nutrients, but there is something else too. People can get a lift from it.” Adele Davis actually adored liver. She was the go-to person on nutritious home cooking back when my mother was raising me. Adele Davis claimed that liver…

Life After Depression
There really is life after depression. I am so excited by that point, in fact, that I neglect this blog and find fun/quirky projects to do with my family. We live in the Sequoia National Forest in a house (and former brothel) designed by Irving Gill. My 7-year-old son Frederick and I chronicle our adventures at Gill on the Hill when we're not exploring. Frederick posts some of his homeschool projects at "Frankly Frederick."
