URBAN GROWTH CONTINUES
Saturday morning we hit the pavement. We ran (walked) all over our errands in about 2.25 hours – non-stop. Hit Madison Market for groceries. Then trekked to Vivace for coffee beans. The Capitol Hill Library for a small stack of books and videos on hold for me. Then the long trek back home. It was very good exercise and the weather was brilliant. Nicer than exercising in the stinky Y. The “fresh” air of the outdoors is always nicer. Plus, we got more exercise. With 20 lbs. in the backpack (J weighed it) and plenty of hills to climb on the way home, we didn’t feel bad about missing the Y.Once home I hit the yard to really assess what the hell is going on in some areas. I limited myself to two beds or I make myself crazy with the amount of work that needs to be done.
Some plants I began inside were ready to be transplanted. A few nasturtiums and sunflowers and some endive and cilantro.
I've sown arugula in with the onions. Why waste space? There's really no reason why I can't continue to sow arugala here all summer and into Fall. The shrubs in the neighbor's yard allow for varigated sun for half the day. Besides, this will keep me harvesting young arugula rather than large arugula. I need to get into that habit.

AROMATIC SLIDE BACK INTO HEALTHFUL FOOD
We are fortunate in lots of ways. In particular, we love to cook, we love to use healthful ingredients, and we have access to fresh herbs all year. Oh, and we have a well-stocked pantry and freezer.
Whenever we chop a carrot, dice and onion, slice some celery, etc., we throw the pieces parts into a large freezer bag. Soon enough we have a bulging bag (or two) or frozen veggie pieces that will make a wonderful soup stock.
Today we simmered almost two full bags of veggie parts in our largest stock pot. Into this cauldron we tossed some parmesan cheese rinds (which we also freeze) wrapped in cheesecloth, and a large bundle of freshly snipped herbs from our garden. Luckily, winters are mild enough here that most herbs survive all year. Tarragon usually doesn't make it over the winter but my plant sprang back to life once the temps began to climb just a little. I kept it outside over the winter but under our glass top table to limit the rain it received. It's doing fine and we are using it up!
Once the stock was done, we strained the liquid from the solids and set to work on lentil, orzo soup. We sauteed onion, garlic and carrots. Added dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and green lentils. Bring to a boil then simmer until the lentils are soft. Add orzo and simmer until soft. Lastly, add a few big handfuls of spinach and a big handful of chopped, fresh parsley. Reseason to taste and there you have it. Homemade and healthy AND easy. We will each have lunch for the next three days (not to mention what we chowed on last night). Plus, we still have a large yogurt container full in the freezer. It's not just for soup. We use it to cook rice and other grains.

PHAD THAI - MY OH MY
Saturday is usually our splurge day when it comes to food. Our splurge dish of choice this weekend was phad thai.
Phad thai is the standard comfort food dish in Thai restaurants. Lots of pan-fried, fettucini-like rice noodles, a sauce varying from light and salty to red and tomato-y, some type of meat, shrimp, or tofu, bean sprouts, julienned carrots, cilantro, a scrambled egg, crushed peanuts, and a shot of freshly squeezed lime. Each establishment's recipe varies a little. We used a recipe from a Vietnamese/Thai cookbook from J's sister. It was delicious. This was our first time making this dish but we've had it several times in restaurants. Phad thai is like the beginner to Thai food's favorite dish. We never order it any longer because Thai cuisine has so many other better dishes that are more authentic to the culture.
We followed the recipe this time, but if we make it again, we really need to try to make a healthier version. Betweent he salt and the sugar and the oil and the mound of noodles, you feel like you've been hit by a truck after eating a big bowl of it. Dure, every slurp is delicious, but it's not easy on the system if you have been towing the healthy line the other days of the week. I'll work on that healthier version in my head. In the meantime, you can see how we dried the noodles after cooking, or gaze at the wonderfully sweet spot shrimp (caught Friday off the San Juan Islands, I might add!) and the aromatic garnish plate. For a condiment, the cookbook had a recipe for a very salty, spicy sauce comprised of lime juice, finely diced chilis (we used jalapenos), minced garlic, and lots of fish sauce. I could barely ingest it for the salt. I added a fair amount of mirin to combat this but still....whew! Added to the food it was a hit but don't eat it on its own.

WHAT'S ALL THE SPROUTIN' ABOUT?
Last Sunday I sowed sunflower seeds. Every year I plant plenty of them in the yard. I tuck them everywhere. The dried seed heads I stick in the chain-link fence for the birds and squirrels. Yesterday morning the first seeds busted through.
Then this morning they took a bigger stretch.
Alas, the beans I sowed in the ground have yet to break the surface. I might have to soak some new seeds, wait for them to sprout, then resow the whole lot of them.

ANOTHER QUICK AND EASY DINNER
Last night we made a quick, easy and healthful dinner of broiled veggies on whole wheat pitas and roasted red pepper and tomato soup. The veggies (zucchini, eggplant, yellow peppers and onions) were brushed with olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper and garlic powder then broiled. Pretty simple. The veggies were tucked inside the pitas then drizzled with any number of condiments we own, a little balsamic vinegar, some plain yogurt, green tobasco, etc. Whatever you like. Into the soup was melted one frozen pesto cube.
Tonight we dig into the veggie chili I made Monday.

TOM'S OF MAINE BITES IT
Article from The Boston Globe
Tom’s of Maine’s letter to their “friends”
The email I sent today to Tom's of Maine in response to their sell-out to Colgate-Palmolive:
Well, another one bites the dust. Another natural product company, another non-megacorp, another company who put out a quality product with safe ingredients has sold out. Why is running a $50 million business which makes a quality product for over 30 years not satisfying enough? Why would you now trust a company at whom you used to take pot shots? Can we count on anyone to resist the sell out?
From your letter on your site: "More and more people are looking for safe and effective natural products from plants and minerals from a company that shares their values."
You know, if Colgate had the same values as Tom's, they would be a natural products company. Do you think Colgate really shares your values? Do you really think that the sort of consumer who has remained loyal to you thinks that Colgate shares these values? I, for one, do not. I certainly hope that Colgate honors any sort of promises they have made. But I have serious doubts that Colgate will honor anything but the stockholders and the bottom line. Colgate will do what is right for Colgate. Frankly, I'm really tired of this. You can't buy anything these days without a huge mega-corp name behind it. I guess they all sell out in the end. I certainly don't have to tell you of the other independent producers who made a difference with a quality, natural product but who then sold out. And I don't need to tell you about the natural and organic brand names out there that are actually owned by the hugest of the huge companies in the first place. Spin it and they will come. As long as you market it right, it will sell, regardless of who is selling it. That is painfully clear with the likes of the big box chain stores. It's also evident in America's general battle cry of bigger, faster, more, more, more.
As for your so called distribution potential improving, I'vee never had any trouble finding your products all over the country. Besides, people who want quality products will find quality products. We're already looking. Crap, on the other hand, is easy to find. I'm disappointed that a company run by so many bright folks couldn't come up with a better partnership or a better way to expand your distribution. How about opening another manufacturing location? How about expanding the existing one? Come on, get creative.
But this leads me to my first question: Why isn't Tom's of Maine's success enough for you folks? I'm sure you have all of your material needs met. So what's eating you so badly that you needed to sell out? Just can't shake the itch to have Tom's of Maine in the farthest corners of the globe? You really want to retire knowing that Colgate-Palmolive is in charge?
What?
Like I said, it's hard these days to find an organic or natural product that isn't run by the big corporations. It's the watering down of quality and the bulking up of bottom lines because natural and organic are becoming chic. But there are folks like me who search for the answers when it comes to where should I buy the product, what are the ingredients, how is it packaged, who owns this brand? And folks like me change our spending habits accordingly. I won't be purchasing any more of your products, of which toothpaste and deodorant were household staples. In fact, I just bought 3, count 'em, 3 tubes of Tom's toothpaste this weekend. I'll be donating them to a local charity. Everyone needs to brush but I am fortunate enough to be able to put my money where my mouth is (a pun is lurking somewhere) with some things, toothpaste being one of them. On my next trip to my local co-op, I'll check out the companies that sell the same things as Tom's and see what I can buy instead - at least for now.

Welcome Back, Veggie Chili
It’s been a while but last night while making dinner I threw together a quick veggie chili to have for lunches this week or to freeze for the future. As long as I’m chopping ingredients for a salad, I might as well keep chopping.
In a bit of olive oil I sautéed garlic, big chunks of red onion, sliced carrots, zucchini, orange bell pepper, and one roasted and seeded ancho chili. While the veggies are getting a bit of brown on them, I season the mix with homemade sambar powder, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and some crushed black pepper. I always make sure to cook my spices. The taste of raw spices in a dish is a turn-off.
Once the veggies are a little brown (that’s where the flavor comes from!) I added a quart of tomatoes we canned last September. Smelled wonderfully fresh. And then a can of kidney beans in some Cajun seasoning. To help empty a bottle of Spicy V-8, a splash of that was added. Let this simmer for about 15-20 mins. then remove from the heat and wow, very tasty. It’s got flavor, it’s got heat, it’s thick.

CAT GARDENING
Plenty of yardwork to be done this weekend. Inside yardwork consisted of starting more seeds. More herbs, a few brassicas, and some sunflowers and nasturtiums. I also repotted the tomato starts. You can see them here sitting uncerimoniously on my kitchen sink.
In the garden there was potato planting - German Butterball, Yellow Finn, and Russet Burbank. J emptied and scrubbed last year's containers before adding new, clean, organic soil. Even containers we didn't use last year were cleaned. Now we wait. Last year a blight killed most of the crop though we managed to eat some small ones. In fact, we are using the old dirt for some lettuces in a new separate bed and I found a few potatoes in it. Whatever had killed the potatoes last year shouldn't bother the greens. It's just a small patch so we aren't betting a large part of the garden on this dirt but it's really beautiful, rich soil and it would be a shame to waste it.
Elsewhere in the yard I sowed more chard, carrots, beets, and planted onion starts. Everything got a good weeding and a dressing of organic soil amendment with chicken manure. We also bought a couple of other products from the same folks. Some natural and organic top soil and some potting soil. We patronized our favorite, locally owned hardware store even though it's not in our neighborhood. Plus, we received 20% off everything we bought because it was organic. This store was running a coupon for organic products.
J completely weeded and cleaned the only flower bed we cultivate. Working in that bed stirred up the lavender and I could smell it several feet away. Weeding never ends. Green growth never ends in the PNW. All that moisture and all those invasive plants. Plus, we are bordered by other yards on two big sides of the garden. We can't make other people weed their yards so we get intruders.
Though we didn't apply any today, we did pick up a big bag of red worm castings. The strawbale bed is full of worms and other areas of the yard are doing better with worms than ever before, but we are very curious to see if the store stuff is any good. Besides, we have plenty of pots we plant in and you can't have too much worm poop, right?
Cats don't garden but they reap the benefits from their owners' gardening. Our cats love to get into our garden projects. Especially Henry. Nothing he likes better than using some freshly cultivated dirt as a litter box, or some recently pulled weeds are a place for a nap. Life is hard for our cats.

EASY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD
No Knead - No Fault 100% Whole Wheat Bread
Here is an easy, tasty bread using no white flour and no white sugar. I found it on Bob's Red Mill. It's easy because there is no kneading. It has a moist texture and is not too heavy. It's very delicious and was a nice addition to Sunday's dinner of Cornish game hens stuffed with a rice pilaf and a side of roasted beets. Yields 2 loaves.
7-1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
2 Tb Yeast, Active Dry
3-1/2 to 4 cups Warm Water (110 degrees)
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil (we used olive)
2 Tb Honey
4 Tb Molasses
2 tsp Sea Salt
Place flour in a large mixing bowl in the oven at the lowest temperature for 20 minutes. Meantime, dissolve yeast in one cup warm water. Add honey to the mixture and set aside. Our yeast mixture grew straight up like a yeast silo. I thought it would bubble over but it just kept getting taller. Dissolve molasses in one cup warm water - set aside. When the flour has warmed, combine yeast and molasses mixtures and oil then add it to the flour along with the salt. Stir the mixture vigorously - do not knead. Slowly add enough of the remaining water to produce a very sticky dough. Oil 2 bread pans. Place the sticky mixture into the pans filling them between 1/3 and 1/2 full. Let dough rise for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375. Bake loaves 35-40 minutes. Crusts turn a dark golden brown. Remove from oven. Cool in pans for about 20 minutes. Loosen the loaves by running a knife around their edges. Turn pans upside down and remove the loaves. Allow to cool on a wire rack. We added rolled oats and flax seed. You could also top with any number of seeds using an eggwash.

SUPER BOWL
At Acme Bowl J and I met some of her co-workers for a fine afternoon of bowling. Mary and her children, Michael, Ashley, and Robert, and Lisa and Jen and J all bowled as I cheered words of encouragement. These days the computer keeps score for you and guardrails pop up for select players upon request. Below are a few choice shots of these pro bowlers in action.
This was Mary's first time bowling. But you probably knew that.
Michael was quickly downing the pins.
Robert has the cool confidence of a pro.
Ashley took no prisoners!
Jen's gecko tattoo gave her super-human bowling powers.
Jen and Michael in the dance competition.
Elvis in his pinball machine.

HAIL THE COMING OF SPRING
Friday night hail. The skies to the east were blackening while the skies to the west were sunny. There were rainbows. And the desck was covered in hail. BUT, the British Wonder Peas and the Thomas Laxton Peas have sprouted. No beans yet. Not a one.

START SHAKING OUT THE BED SHEETS
We usually don't see these things until the ends of summer. This is the earliest I've ever spotted a wolf spider. I was minding my own business, blogging the photo of the cat, when this specimen scampered out from under the couch where I am sitting. Yikes. We don't squash bugs here, we collect them and deposit them outside. In the case of big, hairy spiders, this is as much a practicality as it is an ethical move. Smashing a bug this big is simply a mess. You can't even tell how big this spider is because it's scrunched up in defense. And this is hardly the biggest one who has visited. But it's the first one of the year, the earliest one on record in our house, and marks the beginning of the season of shaking out the bedding, the shoes, looking twice in the corners, etc.
CAT IN THE BOX
She looks a little snarly and I don't understand how it can be at all comfortable - but she likes it. Loves that cardboard box and doesn't mind her face being smashed on it.
