While I am not always sustainable in my actions, I do attempt being green in many areas of my life. I'm inspired by a few external sources - my community supported agriculture, my farmers, and the farmers markets I attend. Another source of inspiration is Mother Earth News, "the original guide to living wisely." Whenever the magazine shows up in our mail I'm like a kid in the candy store - wanting to devour it whole, but wanting to savor every page and make it last until the next one arrives. So far I have been somewhere in between.

Each issue usually has a few recipes in it about what to do with your home-grown or locally grown crops. I keep swearing to myself that I will try one or two, but up until now I have not done it. The December 2007/January 2008 issue, however, offered up a bread recipe so easy and good looking that I had to try. They call it Easy, No Knead Crusty Bread - I call it Wow-I've-Actually-Made-Bread-That-Looks-Like-It-Came-From-A-Bakery Bread...okay, okay, I'm really calling it Homemade Artisan Bread.
