P.S. from Paul...Today is "senior day" at my grocery store and so up I went to get my discount. An elderly man in the produce section caught my eye and then captured my attention when I saw him start to collapse. I ran over to him so he wouldn't fall and the store manager, another shopper and I stayed with him until the ambulance came.
He was clearly not doing well, and if he was unable to himself, he wanted me to tell the ambulance driver two things: he was 29 and not pregnant! Then he said, "Penny, you've got to spread the happy!" And so, I am. At 90 years old, that sense of humor and all those fruits and veggies in his cart have done him wonders. Hope you are feeling better this afternoon, Paul!

Some Crumbs To Nibble On
I am on an "adventure in life", a journey to a more peaceful way of eating and living to protect my health, my sanity and the world I live in. I am up for learning all sorts of new things and sharing them. I thought, like a good binding does for the stories in a book, I would anchor my food stories and fun discoveries to a spot in my home that roots me and, I believe, roots for me.
I have a green table that sits in the middle of my kitchen. No telling how old it is. It has been in many other homes, I suspect, before mine. The legs are sturdy and graceful, but the “toes” are stubbed and worn. There is part of the table that forms a brace joining the legs. It is a great perch for baskets and dogs’ paws. The surface of the table unfolds like a puzzle and goes from small to large with a wiggle of a couple of pieces of wood hidden underneath the main tabletop.
I love the color, or colors of green, that pop through. Starting with emerald through to lime, there are many shades until, in small patches, the bare wood softly peeks out. The colors of green remind me to choose well. I love this table, the food that goes on it, the chairs, elbows and paws that pull up and rest there. It is the heart of my kitchen and is the centerpiece for not only our food, but for our stories.
While nourishing the body and soul, the recipes in the stories here also nourish the environment and support the local food community.
Here are the Golden-Green Rules of Our Green Table:
1. Buy food with thought
2. Cook it simply, with care
3. Use less wheat and no meat
4. Create wholesome sweets
5. Buy local foods, real foods
6. Serve just enough
7. Use what is left
8. Keep it fun
And so now, the story telling and sharing begins!
