The Art of Simple Food

My children's school start an edible garden program supported and endorsed
by Alice Waters. Naïve about who Alice Waters is, I decided to pick up a
copy of her book, The Art of Simple Food. This food makes me want to be a
better cook or even a cook at all. It is such a practical, informative
cookbook. Treat yourself, and add this book to your collection.

Weekend Gardening Activity with the Kids

Looking for a fun activity to do with the kids this weekend. Try making your own organic planting pots out of newspaper. The final product (ie the pots) are great for your small plants, they can be put very tightly together and when the plant is ready to be put into the ground you can plant it with pot still on. The paper will gradually break down in the ground.
