For next month I’ve selected another food/urban farming related project, but this time it is a bit more techy.

I’ll try to regularly pledge my support to a project that I find personally meaningful. This time I’ve chosen to support the Hamilton Crop Circle.   This project is near and dear to my [...]

In fact, it was so crazy good that I wanted to share it with you today. This meal happened completely by chance becuase I had misplaced my wallet and couldn’t go to the grocery store. I frantically ran around my basement pantry and through all of my kitchen cabinets [...]
