At the Mpls Farmers Market yesterday, Aunty Oxidant sang a duet with Plain Jane Kohlrabi about how beauty and goodness come from the inside. [Sure, Jane is pale green and has antennae, but she contains much more antioxidant vitamins A & C and minerals than other more colorful vegetables her size. Plus, she can claim the proud heritage of the [...]

Today at Little Locavores (Mpls Farmers Market), rascally free radicals (ie, adorable kids) ganged up on a poor adult, who was feeling sick and weak. Why didn’t his body’s defenses fight them off? Because he did not eat enough vegetables or fruits, and therefore had no antioxidants to boost his immune system. Enter stage left: [...]

Yup, focusing on Cabbage and its cruciferous clan this coming Sunday. Aunty Oxidant may visit! Will taste Slaw made with its cousins kohlrabi, sweet napa cabbage, carrots, herbs, tossed in a healthful vinaigrette instead of mayo.

My multi-talented artist friend Brad Dahlgaard came over last night to photograph a meal I prepared. Soon, you will see these mouthwatering images on this site (say, to replace that template “misty fall river” scene up there.)
