Bio
I am a second generation hippie, farm raised in the wilds of Maine. My folks left the big city in hopes of finding a way to live a more ecologically and socially responsible life, to live "lightly on the land." They built a house, heated it it wood, mostly from our own woodlot, had a big garden, and raised a dog, a herd of cats, some chickens, gesse, sheep, cows, and me. I grew up on fresh eggs, garden veggies, farm raised beef, and free range chickens. I learned to cook on a woodstoved and helped make bread, pickles, jam, butter, sauerkraut and even cheese. Culinarily, I am a spoiled rotten bitch.

I betrayed them horribly, and ran off to the big city for college, and loved it enough to stay. Now that I am getting older, I wonder if I did the right thing, and how I might apply some of what I learned to living responsibly, and, (frankly) higher on the hog. Food money stretches further (or gets you better end product) if you do at least some of the work yourself. I have started this blog in an attempt to chronicle some of my foray back into my upbringing, my adventures with food.
