Grinding maiz verde
There's something so good about knowing the origins of the food that you put in your body. Today, I shucked red beans (so now I have fresh red beans to eat). They were a gift from my neighbor. I sat out on my front porch shucking beans and saying hi to everyone who passed by. I was secretly showing off that I could shuck beans with the best of em.
Early this morning another neighbor brought me fresh eggs. This evening, as the photo illustrates I was "helping" grind fresh corn. So, for lunch I ate egg salad. From local eggs! For dinner I ate red beans and rice and chicken. The chicken was from my neighbor's mother-in-law's house--- killed today! Fresh food.
Why are we moving away from that in the name of "progress"? So we can eat frozen food from a box in the name of so-called convenience? Anyone want to refresh my memory? I am waiting anxiously for the answer. Or maybe I have been reading too much Wendell Berry. Nevertheless, I am well-nourished, are you?

Dear Gwynn,
I can't honeymoon because my Ancho returned to the USA to work. So, I am here solo since May. It's tough to be apart, but each day is one day closer to being back on the farm with Ancho and my cat. And one day closer to getting a dog!
I am glad to hear from you dear dear Gwynn, such a yeah one you are.
