As most of you know I am a TomatoManiac! I grow many heirloom tomatoes each year, as the whole family loves them. Tiffiny, Andrew, Marko and Melania love the cherry tomatoes and eat them like candy. I grow a rainbow of colours-Sungold (orange-yellow), Snow White (cream coloured), Sweet 100's and Chadwick's (red), Green Grape, Black Cherry, Dr Caroline (pink and a yellow one too)and so on make for yummy colourful healthy snacks.

Fettucine with Heirloom Tomatoes and Zucchini Cream

Serves two.

Ingredients:

1 tsp olive oil
1 small zucchini, grated finely (on a microplane grater is best)
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
1 Tblsp heavy cream
2 small heirloom tomatoes, diced
salt and pepper
8 oz fresh fettucine, cooked according to directions

Method:

Heat the oil over medium heat in a saute pan. Add garlic and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add zucchini and combine. (If very finely grated, it will be in clumps- that's OK.)
Add wine to pan and cook, stirring, until reduced by half. Add cream and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until liquid is mostly reduced.
Turn off heat. Add cooked fettucine and tomatoes to pan and toss to mix. Remove to plate and serve immediately.

Beefsteak Seeds

Beefsteaks are large diameter, meaty tomatoes, weighing up to 2 pounds each. Beefsteak tomatoes are firm and maintain their shape when cut. Their firmness and large size make them excellent slicing tomatoes for use on top of hamburgers, caprese, and BLTs. Beefsteak tomato seeds are easy to start and grow, whether they are modern crosses or tasty heirloom varieties. In no time at all you will have your own fresh grown tomatoes with your favorite meals.

Tasting the Bounty of San Francisco Markets

Travelers, too, can share in the bounty. Nearly every day year-round, there is a farmers’ market to check out, offering not only plenty to taste and buy, but sights, sounds and people-watching. Even if it’s not practical to construct a perfect salad back at the hotel room or tote heirloom tomatoes home on an airplane, the markets of San Francisco are worth visiting as a spectacle in themselves.

Massachusetts Bakery Distributes Wheat Berries for Customers to Grow in Their Yards

Tue, 13 May 2008 18:45:38 GMT

clipped by: edj1963
clipper's remarks: the old ways are often touted as being the best, this is an idea who's time has come back around. We have made some fundamental mistakes allowing our food production to go corporate, this may be a start at reclaiming our agrarian birthright.
The further a thing moves away from it's center, the more corrupt it becomes, perhaps it is time to revisit the concept of village.

Clip Source: www.groovygreen.com

Probably the coolest story in the “local food” movement that I’ve heard yet. A bakery in Massachusetts has started to distribute wheat berries (seeds) to customers to plant 100 sq. ft. plots of wheat in their yards. They plan a hand-scythed harvest in the summer. I think that this is a great idea, and it will be interesting to see how productive the 10 x 10 plots of “front yard” wheat are

‘We pride ourselves on baking organic bread,’ said Neftali Duran of Ashfield, who owns Holyoke-based El Jardin, with a branch bakery in Deerfield. ‘Yet we buy flour from 1,500 miles away. It doesn’t make sense.’

Stevens and Maffei, who have been trying to interest local farmers in looking again at growing wheat, are researching four or five heirloom varieties of the grain, which they plan to distribute to customers to try square-foot plots on their lawns as a test.

Fabergés Eggs

Fabergés Eggs

Alexander III Equestrian' Egg

They were produced by a jeweler called Peter Carl Fabergé and are made of expensive metals or gemstones decorated with combinations of enamel and gems. The term ‘Fabergé Egg’ has become a synonym of luxury and the eggs are regarded as masterpieces of the jeweler’s fine art. Peter Carl Fabergé original name Carl Gustavovich Fabergé (May 30, 1846–September 24, 1920) was a Russian jeweller, best known for the famous Fabergé eggs, made in the style of genuine Easter eggs, but using precious metals and gemstones rather than more mundane materials.

Jesus Held Ransom Over Weiner Dog Poop

clipper's remarks: Really!

Clip Source: www.dlisted.com

Meet the lovely Jean Mansel from Oakfield Township, Michigan. Jean received what has to be one of the hottest ransom notes in history. It seems that a few of Jean's neighbors are pissed off, because they believe she's not picking up her dog's shit. They have kidnapped her statute of Jesus which was in her front yard and are holding it ransom.

“We are holding Jesus ransom until you clean up the poopie from your wieners and trust us we see you take your wieners for long walks w/out picking up their poopie in our yards. This has upset us dearly so please clean up all the weiner poopie, if you want to see Jesus unharmed. Sincerely, Lindy Lane Residents.”

Jean claims she picks up her dog's shit and just wants her Jesus statue back. It's a family heirloom. She said, "It has to be a young person because they put these lines around Jesus, no adult is going to waste their time doing that. And referring to weiner poopie…my gosh."

One of my favorites is P.O.V.’s Borders/Environment web series.
Imagine a trip to the gas pump where you fill up with french fry grease. Plant an interactive garden with heirloom seeds. And what are the myths and hype around bottled water? This project examined these and other issues with non-linear storytelling, digital art, and interactive opportunities.

Advent House from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 04:50:32 GMT

clipped by: boliyou
clipper's remarks: Ever since I saw National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, I've wanted this advent calendar. It's an absolutely stunning Victorian mansion with beautiful artwork hidden behind shaded windows. The whole thing can be lit from within, giving both the open and closed windows a soft, warm holiday glow.

I finally found it at theadventhouse.com. I was dismayed to find that only 250 of the houses are made each year, and that they cost $449 each, plus shipping! The house has to be ordered a year in advance, too.

The advance ordering, I can understand. It must take a long time to construct something of this quality and craftsmanship. Although the price is extraordinarily high, when you consider it in terms of the heirloom-quality, it may be worth it. It's good-sized, too, at 31.25" W x 21.5"H x 11"D. 22 pounds, and will take up a bit of space.

I still want one, though I doubt it will ever be something I'm able to own.
