I shop the farmers market and they're just a little cheaper than Whole Foods but I'm buying directly from the farmers.<br /><br />It's so annoying when I hear on talk shows or on the news, some supposed expert say there's no nutritional difference between organic and conventional. Well, duh, it's the chemicals and pesticide that I'm trying to avoid.chow veganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067485016430365599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985466762499284470.post-89554091000083087232010-08-17T10:24:00.852-07:002010-08-17T10:24:00.852-07:00oh man, what a delicious and mouthwatering post.

I am going to stock up BIG TIME!!!! I can hardly wait. <br /><br />Also, that little lizard is so crazy cute. <br /><br />And finally, thank you so much for the tip off about gopher repellent. I am definitely going to track some down and buy it. I don't mind making them a little uncomfortable, but I really don't want to hurt them!Ameyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291071425858947632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985466762499284470.post-8388639359276840952010-08-17T08:38:43.260-07:002010-08-17T08:38:43.260-07:00Great post with wonderful information!

For me it is trickier in the winter but well worth it to eat healthy, local and organic! I have not made bruschetta all year and it is my favorite. I did just get some pink Himalayan salt and organic peppercorns from Sustainable Sourcing https://secure.sustainablesourcing.com and they would taste great with the tomatoes in my garden. Well, looks like I know what I'm having for lunch!Anderburfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400515332857645233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985466762499284470.post-37844085770143593422010-08-16T20:28:08.458-07:002010-08-16T20:28:08.458-07:00I love it all!

I don't know how the story got started about baby birds but it's not true and we've saved some from our cat. One time our cat brought one in the house and when I checked it over to make sure it was okay I saw the mother bird on the opposite side of the fence waiting for it. Once the baby bird got it's composure back, they both flew away together. I think it was learning how to fly.dreaminitveganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036912040629825367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985466762499284470.post-67788885413175535072010-08-14T20:45:44.152-07:002010-08-14T20:45:44.152-07:00aww i had a baby lizard in my kitchen too! i trapp...aww i had a baby lizard in my kitchen too! i trapped it under a cup and released it in my garden. is it okay to touch them? its not like baby birds? i wanted to grab it but was afraid of what it's parents might think if it smelt me on their baby.Jacklynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10132326468225913651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985466762499284470.post-41993818480920107882010-08-14T09:50:06.995-07:002010-08-14T09:50:06.995-07:00The bruschetta looks fantastic!

I'm sorry you have such a hard time with finding quality produce during those cold months. (how do they think they can sell bad produce?) It's nice you have Farmers market 3x a week during the summer. Freezing/canning would probably be the best way to go,like Millie said, so you can enjoy during the winter months. The bruschetta totally rocked!!!dreaminitveganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036912040629825367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985466762499284470.post-13554869200828409752010-08-14T06:52:09.320-07:002010-08-14T06:52:09.320-07:00Your organic produce costs a lot less than mine.

Where I live (which is a fair sized suburbian-type city - pop. 160,000) there is a farmer's market 3 days a week during the summer, but in winter, there is nothing. We don't even have a produce store. It totally sucks. I'm either having to travel (which isn't always cost effective) or buy at the grocery store. Organic produce at supermarkets is sometimes ridiculously expensive or terrible quality. Buying in season isn't always an option for me. I'm in Canada. Nothing is in season from Dec-May except root vegetables from cold storage HAHAHA!! I buy some favourites when they are in season and freeze what I can't eat. Great post though. Keep reminding everyone about the dirty dozen!! <br />BTW, that bruschetta is totally drool-worthy.Carrie™https://www.blogger.com/profile/03326682699231189746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985466762499284470.post-23235743769316869582010-08-13T17:27:22.730-07:002010-08-13T17:27:22.730-07:00What a cute little lizard!
