When my alarm clock went off, I hit the snooze button to get a few more minutes of sleep. The next time I woke up it was an hour later. Yikes! I'd overslept! (Actually, if you think about it, getting...

Today was supposed to be the first day we again tried to eat local. The Illinois Products Farmers' Market opened today, so it seemed like the logical time to start. However, after my interview with Kathryn Rem, in which I...

First Strawberry Blossoms!, originally uploaded by Wally Hartshorn. The strawberry plants we planted last year are doing quite well this spring, and the other day I noticed several strawberry blossoms! Huzzah!

So you might be wondering why I haven't posted anything here since September 7, when I wrote a stimulating piece about the wonderful nutritional benefits of Froot Loops. (Or, more likely, this post has just shown up in your email...
