1. What's your favorite farmers market or store? Montgomery Farm Women's Cooperative Market.
x I've been going there over 20 years. They used to have an awesome little old lady who'd been selling goods there since they first opened in 1932, and she made the best jams, jellies, relishes, and pickles I've ever had. Sadly she has not been there for some time, I believe she passed away.
2. How do you deal with off-season blues? (Like not having strawberries) I fiend for a fresh tomato sandwich.
3. What are your favorite raw foods?
(Food that tastes SO good because it's organic that it doesn't even need cooking or dip)Food need not be organic to taste good raw, it must only be a fresh and high-quality product. Tomatoes.
4. Do you compost? I used to. My current landlord would freak out if I tried to (you can read about my issues with him and my garden in the Gluttonous Gardeners thread.)
5. Do you feed your pets organic too? Ha. My cat Toy will eat one kind of dry food, a few kinds of canned, and very small pieces of raw beef. He also loves plastic of all types, especially headphone cords. He is a meat blimp. Sweetie Pie will eat other kinds of dry, but is even fussier about canned, only eating the pate kinds and the gravy off the ones with bits. She will not even try human food. My cat Mir eats everything including some kinds of fruits, she loves mangoes and cantaloupes.
6. What are your favorite recipes? Too many to list.
7. Do you grow any vegetables at home? Yes! I should harvest my first radishes within a week from now. I'm growing several types of lettuce mixes, scallions, cilantro, mint, dill, cucumbers, garlic, and sunflowers. I still have many kinds of seeds to plant including tomatoes, marjoram, tomatillos, peppers, gourds and some sprouted potatoes, and I'm still not done shopping...
8. Do you keep any farm animals?
(chickens for eggs for example) I live in an apt and my BF would not let me keep the pot-bellied piglet I was offered as a pet, neither would the landlord, I'm pretty positive. I don't think we're allowed to keep any type of livestock in town.
