Summer Recipes Prepared with Local Fresh Produce

Another blistering hot week. Since the winter snows are but a distant memory I find I must approach
summer cooking from a  cooling angle. i just returned from several days at the beach and was perplexed at the meal offerings.
All the restaurants that I patronized had little or no ” summer ” offerings and did not promote their local fresh foods. What a lost 
opportunity . The irony was to be found in the promotion campaign for the farm market extolling the virtues of local food.
Be that as it may , I am now home and cooking or preparing meals in a non air conditioned kitchen and what to do ?
The following are some yummy recipes for the bountiful fruits and veggies found at our local farm market on Saturday and Wednesday.
The cucumber soup is divine .

Take Control!

Over the past few years I have  decided to try and take better control and responsibility for my physical and mental well being.
I have been  doing the environment bit by hanging out my laundry, using less a/c, eating local and fresh food, walking instead of driving 
and the list goes on. I thought I was doing  pretty well until this moring. I saw this link on facebook and realize once again that others are controlling
my physical safety. Some of you may have seen Anne Leonard’s TheStory of Stuff or her The Story of Bottled Water. Her new one The Story of Cosmetics 
is another indication of big companies that control our lives without our knowing. Please view the attached and see Anne Leonard’s other videos’.

Why Can’t We All Just Get Along

REMEMBER THE OLD SAYING “WHY CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG”. WELL IT SEEMS LIKE MORE THAN EVER WE DO NOT WANT TO GET ALONG.
WE , THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING AND ARGUING ON JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING . I\THE SUBJECT MATTER IS NO LONGER OF ANY IMPORTANCE 
IT IS ABOUT WHO WINS . HEY HOW IS THAT WORKING FOR US. NOT SO WELL IS IT. WE LOSE GROUND DAILY AS A COUNTRY WHEN WE CANNOT SEE THE FOREST FOR THE 
TREES. TTHE ATTACHED LINK SHOWS MEMBERS OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM WHO HAVE HAD TO FORM ALLIANCES  FOR SURVIVAL. MAYBE WE NEED TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE WORLD AROUND US.

Let’s Change Our Ways of Providing Energy

As Americans we too often have no idea how we get the fuels that provide us with the comforts
and conveniences that we expect and take for granted. We can no longer bury our heads in the sand and not
accept the responsibility that comes with wanting it all at whatever cost . The Gulf oil catastrophe should be the giant gong banging in our brain saying 
please wake up and see what havoc you are encouraging by not demanding that we change our ways of providing energy. No more politics in this life and death situation .
It is time for a new and safer and less destructive way to meet the needs of the American people. Please see the attached.
