Oh, man! So, delicious looking! I developed a serious pancake addiction at the Hawthorne Hostel in Portland. They have all you can eat pancakes for $1.

The heat of the peppers is clean and has a gradual effect I learned to be careful of.

Jalapeño Days at the McRorie Community Garden



There's something about hot peppers, especially jalapeños, that just makes me feel great. It all goes back to my days growing up in the Southwest. Peppers are such a part of the culture in Mexico, Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Colorado (to name just a few places) that its impossible to ignore th… Continue

Right now, I don't have a garden, but I live in an apartment building for seniors (I can't believe I'm old enough. Where did the time go?) and the management has promised to dig up a sunny spot for us to have an organic garden. There are quite a few residents here who like to dig in the dirt and grow our own veggies. So, I can't wait. It will be nice not to have to travel to the garden. But I do miss the nice people at McRorie. If you know anyone who wants garden signs, let me know.

Hi, Michael,
I gave up my plot at McCrorie because I couldn't seem to get over there and it was so hot, I always seemed to be out of town and I thought someone else could benefit more. In case you don't remember me, I'm the lady who made the signs. How's it going over there?

Thank you, Mike. I live in AZ. I teach middle school and we are working on a school yard garden. We are hoping to donate our produce to the community food bank. I am new to gardening, and especially new to organic gardening, so I am really trying to educate myself so I can pass that along to my students. Thanks for the welcome! :)

Hi Michael, glad you like Gainesville Farm Fresh. There's much to do, but in just 3 weeks we have reached 3900 hits so I know there is interest. Love the garden at McRorie and have taken some good photos. Look forward to a good dialogue.

Hello Michael, I really like your site; I stumbled upon it on Craig's List and was astonished at all you offer :)
Then I saw Kate's Fish Camp links on all the pages and was blown away. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
And you joined Friends of Newnan's lake too.
Anytime you are out our way stop by and Mike (my husband) and I will take you and yours for a boat ride on this beautiful lake, or maybe a jet ski ride :)
We have Fun! Anyway, I like what you are doing!
Positively,
Monica

The Lama Foundation: About Lama

Lama Foundation is: a "community", a not-for profit organization, and a "spiritual home" to many. Our Mission is to be both a sustainable spiritual community as well as an educational center dedicated to all spiritual paths. Situated about 20 miles north of Taos New Mecixo, on just under 110 acres at 8600 feet, Lama Foundation is almost completely surrounded by Carson National Forrest, giving one the feeling of being "way out there", or away from civilization. There are vistas, sunsets, pristine mountain-spring water, vegetarian cooking, and a wide variety of animals that share the mountain with the community. See Sh'mal's recent blog post "More on the Ganja Boogie Band" for a reference to this intentional community

Its calcium contents are 9 times more than spinach and 10 times more than broccoli. Even vitamins B1 and B2 are five times more compared to spinach. It contains much more Vitamin E, C, potassium, iron, and other vegetable fibers than any other vegetables. Plus, it tastes incredibly good, especially with toasted pine nuts!
