A November and a January Pig

My new blog about raising two Tamworth pigs (and falling in love with one of them), is all about connections to the table. They ate as I do, locally, seasonally, and well. Neither of them had a lick of corn or soy, and I discovered that pigs do love acorns. You can read the post at http://gimmerealfood.blogspot.com/

Hi Paul, I just dug up my carrots yesterday. They are so sweet and crunchy. I'll be making Coconut Carrot soup and Carrot Custard. I'm looking forward to your notes on the virtue of using fresh eggs. I've been using duck eggs this winter. The richness of the yolks made quiches, custards, and omelettes taste creamier. I'm growing a little of everything - tomatoes, onions, sweet bell peppers, leeks, carrots, beets, mesclun ...plus the herbs. Look forward to reading your blog. Thanks for adding me to your friends list.

Hi Paul,
I'm on the Maine Schoolsite Health Promotion Conference planning committee, and we're looking for someone to conduct a session at this year's conference on healthy eating with Maine foods. The date is Tuesday, June 24 and it's at Sugarloaf. The focus would be recipes for personal or home use. The session runs from 11:20-12:35. If this is something you might be interested in, I'd be happy to provide any additional information. If you're not interested, would you be able to suggest someone else? Thanks for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Bills from the Legislature

As per Monique's request for dialog on the forum, I am posting links to 3 bills.  I'll admit to being unclear as to what some of the reporting language means.  OTP means Ought to Pass, ONTP means ought not to pass, AM is amendments, and I am going to venture a guess that Divided Report means it was split down the middle.LD 475…See More
