I believe no one will be able to make comments on any posts after today. I have enjoyed participating in the conversation with the other bloggers and with those who... http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2009/01/last_day.shtml?refid=0 http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2009/01/last_day.shtml Sun, 11 Jan 2009 14:35:42 CST mail@americanpublicmedia.org (Paulette Thompson) Winter is upon us. There is little to find at the store as a result of the bad weather. If you go to the farmers' market or the local food co-op, you'll find the cabbage family in full effect... http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2009/01/whats_in_season.shtml?refid=0 http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2009/01/whats_in_season.shtml Fri, 09 Jan 2009 18:59:59 CST mail@americanpublicmedia.org (Paulette Thompson) As you have no doubt heard by now, the Northwest has been dealing with winter storms. We had several snow storms and now that the snow has melted, heavy rains have started innundate the region. Wind storms! Eastern Washington.... http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2009/01/floods.shtml?refid=0 http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2009/01/floods.shtml Fri, 09 Jan 2009 17:47:51 CST mail@americanpublicmedia.org (Laura Solorio) I thought I had entered my last blog, but we have a few more days. As a start to 2009, in an effort to increase my consumption of local food, I called my favorite local nursery, Bokay Nursery, for... http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2009/01/food_not_grass.shtml?refid=0 http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2009/01/food_not_grass.shtml Mon, 05 Jan 2009 11:54:07 CST mail@americanpublicmedia.org (Paulette Thompson) One of the things I learned this year is that squash keeps well on the counter or table. They go from being ornaments for a few months to ingredients for dinner or dessert. The heirloom variety squash from our... http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/12/locavore_say_yeah.shtml?refid=0 http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/12/locavore_say_yeah.shtml Mon, 29 Dec 2008 12:20:09 CST mail@americanpublicmedia.org (Paulette Thompson) I have enjoyed being away from the internet for nearly two weeks. We've had winter weather! Over the last two weeks we've had much more snow than normal for this part of the country. Three storms. Thursday, December 18th was... http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/12/snowed_in.shtml?refid=0 http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/12/snowed_in.shtml Mon, 29 Dec 2008 11:18:59 CST mail@americanpublicmedia.org (Laura Solorio) It's December 26th and I guess this is the end of my Locavore year with the Splendid Table. I've been a fan of The Splendid Table for a few years and it was exciting to be part of their... http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/12/adios.shtml?refid=0 http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/12/adios.shtml Fri, 26 Dec 2008 11:59:39 CST mail@americanpublicmedia.org (Leslie Allen) I can't believe we're coming to the end of this grand experiment! It has been quite a year. I've learned so much and look forward to continuing to live as a Locavore. Here in Reno, being a Locavore has given... http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/12/locavores_on_public_radio.shtml?refid=0 http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/12/locavores_on_public_radio.shtml Tue, 23 Dec 2008 13:33:10 CST mail@americanpublicmedia.org (Paulette Thompson) I was looking forward to the Thanksgiving holidays. I was set to get as locavore as I could. I made plans. I told my mother about the turkey I was going to order and all the rest.

It's stressful, we always overeat, and there are no presents to open. I much prefer Christmas where not only do you get gifts, but dinner is something more interesting than turkey. I like... http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/11/a_turkey_preamble.shtml?refid=0 http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/11/a_turkey_preamble.shtml Wed, 26 Nov 2008 16:01:56 CST mail@americanpublicmedia.org (Leslie Allen) Even though the elections are over I continue to vote every day. In fact, I and my fellow Locavore Nation citizens vote many times a day. I suppose we all are truly living the old adage, "Vote early and vote... http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/11/vote_with_your_fork.shtml?refid=0 http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/11/vote_with_your_fork.shtml Wed, 19 Nov 2008 17:11:09 CST mail@americanpublicmedia.org (Paulette Thompson) It's fall. Comfort food is what we need with a bit of spice. I like to mix harissa in mayonaise for meatloaf sandwiches. I like to put a spoonful in chicken soup. I like it in tomato soup. It's nice... http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/11/here_now_harissa.shtml?refid=0 http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/11/here_now_harissa.shtml Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:15:20 CST mail@americanpublicmedia.org (Paulette Thompson) I have been busy! To top it off I have been coming home late every night. With papers due and grades to turn in, I have not found the particular harissa recipe I was looking for. I would procrastinate and... http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/11/bbc_and_locavores.shtml?refid=0 http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendidtable/locavore_nation_west/archive/2008/11/bbc_and_locavores.shtml Fri, 14 Nov 2008 16:35:45 CST mail@americanpublicmedia.org (Paulette Thompson) Everyone go out and vote!
