Welcome to the site!

I was inspired to start this blog after reading Michael Pollan's book "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto." Pollan argues that a lot of the food that we eat today is not really food - instead, Pollan argues, we're consuming "edible foodlike substances" which are "no longer the product of nature, but of food science."
I want to eat real food! But eating real food is not always cheap nor is it easy, so that's why we need each other for advice and encouragement.
Feel free to share your adventures (or misadventures...) in growing, purchasing, cooking, and/or eating food. Any and all stories are welcome! Just as long as they relate to real food in some form or fashion. And don't forget to include your recipes! Share away, everyone!

Apple Season!

I just wanted to let you all know that apple season has officially begun! I got apples and cider from the farmer's market on Saturday. The apples are great and the cider was a little on the tart side, but I think I like it that way! I tried a new apple (for me) called the Pristine. It's GREAT! Especially if you like really sweet, crunchy apples.

Do you guys have any good apple recommendations? I'm always overwhelmed with the number of choices...

In other news, I think corn season is ending... (tear)
