listen

I really enjoyed this talk with David Wolfe. He is such a knowledgeable guy. He is talking mainly about calcification and bone health. He addresses Calcium supplements and how they aren't what we think. I think it's very important to heat this information, especially to show that there are many things we think are good for us that are not.

so true.

blueberry season.

So it's coming to a close, but it has been so amazing! My friend has tons of blueberry bushes at her house and this is a photo of all the amazing blueberriesthat her family would pick. This isn't even a lot compared to all the blueberries at their house. Luckily, my best friend hooked me up with blueberries all through the season.

I have been wanting to make these forever and I was so excited to use Abeba's Crazy Kracker Book to adapt a recipe. Everyone should buy her books if you love crackers and crunchy things as much as I do!

I love sprouted buckwheats and sprouted sunflower and pumpkin seeds taste soooo delicious...so much better than before they are living. I must admit that I liked this better and it had more flavor before dehydrating, but i also like the crunchiness of granola...i'm obsessed with crunch!

straight lines.

Remember when you finally realized that just because you were using a ruler, it didn't mean your line was straight? I have been mounting a lot of my art work the last two days and while I was measuring an inch from the photo on each side so as to line up my ruler and create a straight line, I thought about how I used to think that using a ruler meant that I would have a straight line. I found it so confusing when creating a square that came out all wonky because my lines were at different angles. It's a good thing my brain expanded from that capacity and understands geometry and angles now.
