Going Green
“Going green” is no longer just the ideology of left-wing hippies. Nor is it a trend. We are living in exciting times. We are confronted with the challenge of sustaining our food, our water and our environment. We are changing things. It’s big. You know a movement is afoot when Windex® imposes a “green list” to regulate what goes into their products and Reynolds Wrap® launches an aluminum foil made out of recycled, well, aluminum. The more commercial it goes, the better off we all are, and not only from an ecological and environmental standpoint. Design-wise, inspiring options are becoming available. It’s a win-win.
Love,

Natural Habitat
Really traditional Spanish cooking, very old-school. Good rice with mushrooms. Chef Mario Batali, food critic Mark Bittman and Spanish actress Claudia Bassols went during the filming of our PBS food and travel series, Spain...on the road Again.

Give Peas a Chance
I love farmers markets and I’m lucky that I live in a place where there is one in a different neighborhood every day of the week. I can get the freshest, most healthy seasonal fruits and vegetables, sometimes picked the same day. Community Supported Agriculture(CSA) is another great way to sustain the people and the economy in our neighborhoods. Check out www.localharvest.org to find one near you.
