A video from Reasons to Go Veg.com popped into my inbox yesterday. It made me laugh out loud because it is so silly and wonderful. It is titled Reason #12 Pigs Are Smarter Than Dogs (except of course Sparky and Chloe). It is less than a minute and worth the watch. Enjoy. http://reasonstogovegan.com/ Have a […]

I am a newbie sprouter and really enjoying it. It is easier and less expensive than I imagined it would be. It has been exciting and almost immediately satisfying to grow your own food on your kitchen counter in a mason jar. A good friend of Exploits and writer of the blog JL Goes Vegan, […]

This weekend we had the most wonderful time at a huge outdoor market. We found gorgeous produce, local foods and a new-to-us treasure, yellow-eyed peas. They are as beautiful and unique looking as their black counterparts but appear to have been touched by gold. I had never seen these before and was very intrigued. We […]

The funniest thing happened yesterday. It is the kind of thing that makes you shake your head and think, “I could not have made this up. It is too random.” So here is the set up. Yesterday was running day and by the time I had time to run, I had already put in an […]
