Just a few things…

I saw this video a couple of months ago and have been looking for it ever since. This is important information!

A while ago I showed you the trailer for the movie “Food Matters”. The full 80 minute movie has now been released on DVD for $29.95 and can also be viewed online for $4.95. I strongly recommend this movie!

Sage Mommy is boycotting Subway for their exclusion of home-schooled children from their competitions. There is a link to a petition on her blog. As someone who believes in homeschooling, I support this petition with all my heart.

I know, I know! I’ve been a bad blogger this week! Who knows, I may do better next week, although I don’t think I’ll be online much this weekend. My friend Lizana is visiting and we’ve got a stack of American Idol videos to get through (she doesn’t get the channel it was on). Just the ticket for a rainy weekend! As is this soup I’m making for tomorrow night.

Hearty Winter Soup

1 leek, finely sliced

2 carrots, coarsely grated

1 turnip, coarsely grated

2 smallish potatoes, coarsely grated

4-6 spinach leaves, coarsely shredded

1 cup cauliflower or broccoli florets

2 celery sticks, chopped (including leaves)

2-4 tsp herb salt

½ cup barley

1 ½-2 liters of water

1 tin tomato puree

Dry stir fry the vegetables and salt until light golden in color.  Add the barley and water and simmer gently for 40-50 minutes.  Stir in the tomato puree and serve.

Have a great weekend!

    And yes I was meaning to tell you too – that ever since your last change some days I cannot get onto your site or as CactusFreek said it takes really long to load and the top pic does not show up – not sure what happened with your last change?
