If I may, I would like to suggest my farm web site. Sumas Mountain Farms is the only producer of 100% certified-organic, lifetime grass-fed & finished beef in the Lower Mainland of BC (near Vancouver, Canada). We also offer chicken, eggs, pepperoni, jerky, salami, sausage, farmer sausage, steak and more. Because our beef is 100% grass-fed & finished, the quality of the meat is exceptional, and the flavor is unsurpassed. Plus, it is more nutrient-dense and packed with healthful Omega-3's than conventional beef, which is healthier for you, your family, and the planet. Please visit http://www.sumasmountainfarms.ca/ for more information! We have plenty of recipes for you to try. Thanks. I enjoyed your post. If I may, I would like to suggest my farm web site.

I thought that you might be interested in our website Loulies which has two features: (1) "e-bites" which are sent out , on average, twice a week via email. The are short musings on anything and everything inspired by food and always include a great recipe, must-have tip, menu idea, new ingredient discovered etc. You must sign-up to receive the e-bites. (2) A Cook the Book club for those who want to learn to cook better with us (like a traditional book club, but we cook instead of read - this is how Suzanne and I met over 10 years ago and have learned to cook better with friends - it is really a great concept). Please go to our website and sign-up to gain a better sense of who we are and how our site works. Everything we have written so far is archived on our home page.

"Heating local", like "eating local" save vast amounts of energy used to ship fossil fuels around the world, and releases carbon that was fixed by the trees in my lifetime, rather than millions of years ago. A well managaged woodlot and a well managed garden have a lot in common. One keeps us fed, the other keeps us warm. Speaking of eating local, I have bumper crop of blackberries coming in. Any favorite uses, nutritional, medicinal or other properties of the wild blackberry? (berries, leaves?) The ecology of my backyard seems to think the whole thing should be one huge berry patch!

I did a grated relish, with turmeric and mustard and onions and a few little peppers. I put the salt directly on the zucchini instead of using brine, sauerkraut style. The squash had plenty of water in it. We'll see how it turns out! I’ve done mine too! I did a grated relish, with turmeric and mustard and onions and a few little peppers.

Good idea about fermenting the squash – I hadn’t even thought of that!
