Gardening at River Cottage...

I watched Oprah recently...
She had a man talking about healthy eating...
He had a book out...I wish I could remember the name of it...

He said...
'When you go to the grocery store, only buy food that your Grandma would recognize as food"
Point well said...

This is one of my Turnips in the vegie patch at River Cottage...
I can't believe that I have actually grown something...
Knowing my past record of killing everything that I try and grow...
I am impressed...
and would say if I can do it anyone can...

  2. Michelle, I think the person who said that was Michael Pollan. I didn't see the Oprah show but I am sure I read that in one of his books, either the Omnivore's Dilemma or In Defense of Food.

  4. Yes Jenny is right - that's one of Michael Pollan's seven rules for eating. Everyone should read his books. Enlightening stuff.

Thanks for "Loving The Vintage" as much as I do...
