Momma Shila: Enter The Shila
http://mommashila.blogspot.com/2008/03/enter-shila.html
White, Fluffy, Fun. Wednesday, March 12, 2008. Shy Lah, Shila? Well she seems to like it. Why Momma? She had 9 pups right before we found her at her foster home and her belly was almost dragging on the floor. She's a bit smaller than most medium dogs - 9 relatively large pups was quite a feat! In the photo below Shila is wearing her winter trim. Actually she's only worn this shirt a few times. We also have a fun assortment of doggie jackets for her. Pete was an American Pit Bull Terrier.

Nagoonberry: FW: Full Circle Farm 10/31/07
http://nagoonberry.blogspot.com/2007/10/fw-full-circle-farm-103107.html
A Persisently Progressive Alaskan. Wednesday, October 31, 2007. FW: Full Circle Farm 10/31/07. This week's order had some disappointments- also known as learning experiences. Here's what was in the box. Red potatoes. Looked good. Haven't had them yet- still working on Arctic Organic and Sunset Acres Farm potatoes. Yellow Onion. Had half of this last night with some potatoes and turkey sausage. Seemed sweet and flavorful. Celery. Nice tops that I'll probably use in chicken soup. Roma tomatoes. Never a...

Nagoonberry: NPR : Will a Warmer World Have Enough Food?
http://nagoonberry.blogspot.com/2007/11/npr-will-warmer-world-have-enough-food.html
A Persisently Progressive Alaskan. Saturday, November 3, 2007. NPR : Will a Warmer World Have Enough Food? NPR : Will a Warmer World Have Enough Food? I am very interested in the question of how climate change will affect agriculture. On a personal level, as we consider where to live for the next 20-3o years of our lives, we want to know that the land we choose for our farm/ranch will not become a desert!

Nagoonberry: Raw Milk Adventure
http://nagoonberry.blogspot.com/2008/04/raw-milk-adventure.html
A Persisently Progressive Alaskan. Tuesday, April 15, 2008. We tasted our first "raw milk" cheese. Today: Monterey Jack Wisconsin Raw Milk Cheese. OK, so I don't know if it was hard-core, raw milk cheese. Organic Valley says it was heat treated to the threshold of pasteurization without being pasteurized. Whatever that means. It tasted delicious. It's hard to tell, sometimes, if things really do taste better when they're organic, local, less processed. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Nagoonberry: GMOs By Any Other Name
http://nagoonberry.blogspot.com/2008/05/gmos-by-any-other-name.html
A Persisently Progressive Alaskan. Sunday, May 18, 2008. GMOs By Any Other Name. I have been reading Jeffrey Sach's new book, Commonwealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet, and learning a great deal. But he began talking about "high-yield seeds" and I wondered, "Is he talking about GMOs? Careful reading- and some follow-up googling- revealed that yes, Sachs does believe in genetic modification of seeds. So what should I think about Jeffrey Sachs? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Nagoonberry: The Great 08 Veggie Adventure
http://nagoonberry.blogspot.com/2008/08/great-08-veggie-adventure.html
A Persisently Progressive Alaskan. Tuesday, August 5, 2008. The Great 08 Veggie Adventure. As I've written about before, this summer I am participating in not one, but two CSA programs. One, Arctic Organics, is local. The other, Full Circle Farm, is based in Carnation, WA. It is still more than the two of us (plus the dog) can keep up with, but even when the collard greens wind up in the compost pile, I am glad that I'm part of both programs.

Nagoonberry: FCF: First Box Evaluation
http://nagoonberry.blogspot.com/2007/10/fcf-first-box-evaluation.html
A Persisently Progressive Alaskan. Sunday, October 28, 2007. FCF: First Box Evaluation. My second box from Full Circle Farm. Arrives next Tuesday. I'm on the every-other-week plan, which feels about right for the two of us. Here's how I did with the first box. The scallions are languishing in the crisper. As are the beets. Perhaps they will join with their golden cousins (arriving in Tuesday's box) in a lovely roasted beet salad. Thank goodness for sturdy, patient root vegetables. I didn't like the Japan...

Nagoonberry: Counting Coup...On the Vacuum Cleaner
http://nagoonberry.blogspot.com/2009/04/counting-coupon-vacuum-cleaner.html
A Persisently Progressive Alaskan. Saturday, April 4, 2009. Counting Coup.On the Vacuum Cleaner. Brady, like most dogs, is terrified of the vacuum cleaner. Whenever I get the Oreck out of the closet, he runs to his kennel and hides. . It doesn't help that our vacuum has headlights. When I turn in his direction, the lights glare fiercely at him, and he runs for cover. We humans like to think we're special, but animals do so many of the same things we do, and we can learn from each other. In t...Anchor...
