Global Warming- Weighing the Risks

Have you seen Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth?" . Although it tends to be a bit on the extremist side of things, there are a key issues that are worth thinking about. Check it out if you can. My friend Marco recently sent me this clip from You Tube where a guy talks about the risks of our actions vs. inaction when it comes to addressing the human impact on global warming.

Hope High School Farmer's Market

Farmer's Market Saturday! For Tara and Jeff who will be moving to Providence in the fall, here is what you guys can look forward to on Saturday mornings. The market is open Saturday mornings from 9:30 until 12:30. I suggest going early otherwise some of the lines get long. There's usually some guy playing music there as people mill about from stand to stand with their dogs and kids in tow.

Fruit is in season now and my new treat are sugar plums. They are little plums about he size of those really large gumballs. And true to their name, they are sweet.

Whole Foods

Whole Foods is now carrying produce from some of the local RI farms! But, get to the local farmer's markets if you can b/c the lettuce at the store was much smaller than at the stands and for roughly the same price. Good to see them in a large chain store though.

More Bounty

The Farmer's Market down at Hope High School in Providence yielded a bounty of goodies (see photo). I was so excited to see the berries and the cherries (grown in CT). The large zucchinis will be used to make zucchini bread. The fruit and beans will be snacks. The arugula will be part of a salad with roasted beets and goat cheese from Massachusetts.

I think I've out did myself with tomato and mozz. sandwiches lately so I'm going to have to come up with other ideas for lunch.
