a week that involved Stephen Harper making a big "green" announcement in the form of power to highway 37 so the mega-mines can go in up north. hmmm. . . interesting distortions of language.
Spent some time today pondering whether or not to purchase Alice Wolczuk's Discovering Sauerkraut (she was one of the great farmers around here, even had a column in the Citizen) but there are only so many sauerkraut recipes I can take. Better I think to wait for local farmers & owners of P&R Organic Farm Robert and Prisca to have their sauerkraut-making workshop this fall. Good time of year for local produce. . . Old Town Farm Market has Prince George beets, carrots, turnips & cabbage right now. Also lots of good locally grown food at the PG Farmers Market where local artists (in the arts various forms) Rob Budde, Hardy Friedrich and Denielle Wiebe are gathering community photos for their Democratas show which is not only a powerful piece but also an exercise in democracy. Get your photo taken and hold up your favourite word. Mine was kind of geeky with my outdated bike helmet perched atop my head - love the pic with "mother" word.
Am debating whether I should part with the $32.99 for Margaret Atwood's hardcover Year of the Flood - heard her on the Q today -- she figures books will be around for quite some time yet despite all this electronic stuff. . . I tend to agree with her -- wouldn't be able to take a laptop into the mountains or bush around here. . . and who would want to !? Something to be said for old fashioned books and sauerkraut (just not too much of the latter!)
