learn to fry liver-- it's cheap and a good way to get organic meat on a budget. i use butter and fry only briefly-- overcook & it turns to shoe leather.
also--lentils!
& dark greens. frozen is a great bang for the buck.

still very tasty, but too ugly.

sounds awesome! i'd buy it. more antioxidants. tell him to feed them figs so the cheese comes out ready ha ha.

i'd like to get me some bees with all the things dying off-- like i'd be helping out. but first i need to get me some crops-- bees are not native to my woodlands so they need something to eat. i've considered africanized bees-- there's a man in arizona who harvests their stuff. have you seen that swiss documentary about bees? MORE THAN HONEY. it's really great!

oh, thanks for that! i like the taste of the woody skins for snacks and some dishes but for more delicates ones (marzipan etc) i'll try that.
the thing with almonds though (makes me feel guilty) they are a big reason bees are being poisoned.
