Green: Eat Like You Mean It!

Enjoying the Fruits of the Harvest With Roasted Root Vegetable Soup

 

Too long...

It's been awhile since I've updated this blog. 'Been busy, it seems, with other things. But Green is still cooking, to be sure, with lots of pots set to simmer while we wait for things to develop. 

A primary Green focus has been wholeness, eating with health and life values in mind. Eating Green is about being conscious of what we do and why and how we do it. It's about making connections between body and spirit, food and land, grower and cook and happy diner. It's about being intentional in our lives (...do I REALLY want to put that in my body?!?!?) and in our choices.

Even so, Green is in transition. Like I said, we're still cooking, with no plans to stop any time soon. One of my greatest joys is nourishing people. Making a meal--whether for one or one hundred--offers me the opportunity to provide an enjoyable experience through taste and texture and color and shape and all the myriad elements of what makes good food...good. Feeding you is one of the ways I have to love you, and to offer something of healing and wholesome value to you.

But Green has always been, since its inception, a stepping stone to other places. Beth and I have long held a vision that feeding you in this way now has been a precursor to feeding you in a bigger way later. While we could certainly open up a larger shop and go into "production mode" with our food, that idea does not bring us joy. Instead, it is our hope to one day be able to offer nourishment with your whole health in mind...i.e. a healing or retreat center or centers where you can come and be loved up righteously, body, mind and spirit!

Until then, here's to good eatin'!
