Sustainable Meat 101: From the Familiar to the New at Boston Center for Adult Ed
October 26, 2010 from 6pm to 9pm
We're going to explore what makes our proteins more or less sustainable and we're going to roll up our sleeves and cook! I'm sharing resources, tips and recipes and there will be chickens from Pete & Jenn's Backyard Birds, Bison from Wild Idea and local, probably Halal goat. You will leave the class with new friends, a resource guide, recipes and an appetite for more.

It's hard to give up a whole Sunday, but I cannot imagine doing this on my own in my tiny loft. I'm also frankly, scared of what I don't know so am very eager to learn from some pros.

Jacqueline Church replied to Cornelia's discussion 'Mid-summer making - what's your project?'"I'm going to attempt yogurt. I love the Greek style yogurt and hate paying nearly $5 for something I think I probably can do here w/o crazy equipment or lots o' tools. Will keep you posted!"
fiver replied to Jacqueline Church's discussion 'Should I give up on my lettuces?'"Its my understanding that even organic soaps and pesticides are not compatible with "friendly insects" so you need to choose a method and not get ladybugs and spray neem, for instance, at the same time.

- A bit about me:
- I'm a freelance writer whose work has appeared in Reuters, Chicago Sun-Times, Austin Statesman and John Mariani's Virtual Gourmet. Also a cook and traveler, I've eaten my way across several countries including China, Japan, Italy, Germany, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, and more. Clambered over Machu Picchu, walked icebergs in Antarctica, and dove to explore a shipwreck 100 feet below the waters of Curaçao. I've yet to fulfill my dream of filling a passport before it expires, but vow to keep trying.
Having grown up on Jacques Cousteau and National Geographic, sustainable food issues are deeply important to me. Currently working on a book about heritage pigs and the farmers who love them. The Leather District Gourmet, my blog, has a low-carbon, meat-free recipe feature weekly and an annual sustainable seafood blog event that was called “remarkable” by Sea Change Strategies and recognized by the Seafood Watch Program of the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
- Latest greatest meal cooked at home:

Devastating Fire at Maveric Heritage Ranch - Your Help is Needed!
I met Arie McFarlen at Slow Food Nation and was so impressed by the work she does. After spending the last decade trying to restore heritage breed pigs and working at conservation of livestock, her farm suffered a fire just days before Thanksgiving.
Please stop by my blog and read about it and how you can help:

- Made some bread from Mushet's Art & Soul of baking last night. Olive thyme rustic loaf. Instead of poolish, I made use of my sourdough (sorta similar, right?) also since hubs not a huge fan of olives, carmelized some onion instead. Onion, thyme, slightly sourdough bread. Delish.

- Well I'd like to add another post up there where I write about Maveric Ranch but I want to keep that there rather than replace it. Guess I don't have this interface down yet...
Yesterday with our unseasonably warm weather I decided to pack up, clean up my fire escape garden.

It's kind of sad to see all the empty pots where so much was blooming before but it's also better than looking at dead, frozen plants! And we can begin to dream of spring and what we'll plant then.
Sweet dreams, indeed.
