		<title>Grazing, skunks and wasps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is that wonderful season in my foodshed – grazing time.  Of course the corn is still a way off, the tomatoes are just starting to tease with a blush of red on the green orbs, and the potatoes are hiding under the vibrant leaf cover.  But the raspberries and blueberries are in full swing, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hiking, broccoli and farming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been hanging around farmers long enough to eschew the idea of exercise for exercise’s sake. Many years ago, an organic farmer in BC did a spoof on what was then a popular holiday concept – the exercise “spa”.  I believe it was Peter Johnston of Lasqueti Island, and he offered an extraordinary holiday [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Ode&#8221; to trees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am a very big fan of trees. In fact, it is a life-long love affair, dating back to my childhood.  Years before I knew them as ponderosa pines, I spent many hours sitting under my “puzzle trees” -  so called because, to my childish eyes, the bark sections looked like puzzle pieces. When I [...]]]></description>

		<title>From sous-chef to baker extraordinaire!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I left home for the big city and life at university, I joined two of my sisters in a shared apartment.  Since they both had more experience in the kitchen than I did, I quickly became the de facto sous chef. I washed and tore up a lot of lettuce leaves, rolled countless chapati, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Food sovereignty &amp; community</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was interviewed the other day by Sarah Martin, as part of her work on a masters degree.  The topic at hand was food sovereignty and how it is involved in my work. The interview sparked some interesting exchanges and forced me to articulate ideas that I may not have otherwise taken the time to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on solstice &amp; pesto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As someone who dwells north of the equator (and the 49th parallel), I always get very excited by winter solstice.  Somehow just knowing that the sun is returning on December 22nd brings so much more light and hope.  However, this autumn retained a lovely summer glow for a long time, thanks to whatever good weather [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mary Lou Bread</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All this great fresh flour and newly squeezed grain flakes can&#8217;t help but inspire me and I am hoping it will inspire a few others. I am not sure if it is the result of my mixed European-ish heritage or something else, but I have a life-long love affair with whole grain breads, especially home [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oat Flaker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By all blogging criteria I should be run out of town since all my best laid plans of blogging regularly have certainly fallen apart.  However, I shall continue and those who wish to read my musings can do at their leisure. I decided to write about my grain flaker today as next to my bicycle [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leg-powered flour mill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been promising myself for ages that I would get around to blogging.  Not surprisingly, since my whole life has long been dedicated to fostering local food systems, I am busier than ever, since so very many people are now interested, alarmed, aware, concerned about their food.  Interesting times, indeed, but so very busy.
