Hello loyal readers, and happy new moon!
The May nusletter has hit the newsstands. Do you have any thoughts, questions, resistances, or success stories about organic food?
(I have a friend who likes to point out that "it's ALL organic, duh." ... which is true -- food technically can't be INorganic, can it? But you get my point, so bear with me...)
I will do my best not to delete your comments, though for some reason I become technologically impaired when faced with The Blog. Sigh.
Health, joy, and happy springtime to you!
Brilliant and hilarious. "May the farm be with you..."

A fun little video on using vegetables and spices to dye eggs!
Happy Spring!
Well, I am obviously not in my right mind... my copy of my Nusletter just arrived in my in-box and it's entitled "Sugar." Oops.
I guess I will just claim "Grad School has taken over my brain" syndrome, because the topic is Beverages. Not Sugar. Sugar has been done. I failed to change that line in that there draft copy. Sigh.
So, send me some stories about how you prevent Brain Loss. :-)

What do you like to sip on? What floats your beverage boat?
In other news, March is National Nutrition Month!
Happy New Moon,
love Tricia
Loyal Reader K.R. writes, "Interestingly, [my daughter] Georgia started to be less lactose-tolerant around 3 years old. She has a lot of other allergies, so we had tested her for dairy allergies, but hadn't considered lactose intolerance. Anyhoo, the doctor had us eliminate dairy and, turns out the big cup of milk she had each morning was what was giving her tummy aches. Replaced with soy milk and it's all fixed (even if she has a little bit of milk here and there). I bet a lot of people get tummy upset, gas, etc. and never think it might be milk!"
Loyal Reader A.M. asserts that my statistics are inaccurate: it's not "70 percent of the world's population" who are lactose intolerant, but in fact 70 percent of people over 5, since babies are built to only ingest milk.
This is a good point. I'm curious, though, as to the technicalities of human milk versus cow's milk.
Loyal Reader and Smart-Ass D.S. wants to know, "70% lactose intolerant? That's just humans, right?"
Er... I'd assume a higher statistic if we were to include the non-human population.
Happy day to you!
I was a bit horrified to open my copy of my nusletter and see that it was all out-of-proportion, column-wise. If you download pictures it will right itself and you can see it in all its aesthetic glory. Problem will not be repeated in future.
So, holidays. New years resolutions. Any thoughts? I am very pleased to be leaving the country for the holidays (except Hanukkah, I am still in the country for that).
My new years resolutions (so far) include:
--learn to knit
--play my darn mandolin
--practice gratitude more consistently
How will you nurture yourself this season? What's it all about for you?
Happy New Moon!
Blender Mayonnaise
From The Joy of Cooking by Irma S. Rombauer and Marion Rombauer Becker
Makes 1 ¾ cups
All ingredients must be at room temperature.
Put in blender container:
1 egg
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon salt
A dash of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon sugar (try substituting ½ teaspoon agave or a dash of stevia)
¼ cup oil**
Cover and blend until thoroughly combined. With the blender still running, take off the cover and slowly add:
½ cup oil
And then:
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Until thoroughly blended. Then add slowly:
½ cup oil
And blend until thick. You may have to stop and start the blender to stir down the mayonnaise.
**I use olive oil, but some consider it to strong-tasting. You could substitute “light” olive oil (it’s refined) or canola oil.
New nusletter is hot off the press, coming to an inbox near you! You may notice it's a bit shorter than usual. This is because I practice what I preach: I took the more elaborate nusletter off my to-do list, and went to bed early. :-)
Happy new moon!
