What Happened This Week?
Posts and articles on the sites...
- It was Back to School week on Fresh-Picked! There was a round-up of school-themed stuff, and a reminder that most cooking schools have listed their fall classes and you can use the A La Carte Pages to find classes on the topics you are interested in. It's a great time to take a cooking class and improve your skills.
- Speaking of going back to school, even if you are not a student, you can learn about food and the environment at the University of Washington all this fall. FOR FREE! Check out the line-up for their FREE "Eating Your Environment" lecture series - it includes Marion Nestle!
- I also gave you a home ec lesson on how to make butter at home with just cream, a jar, and your arm. With photo slideshow!
- And a report from the Single Best Food Event I've Ever Been To. (Also with slideshow.)
- Over on Natural Selection, I admitted that the Less Impact Leslie project - my attempt to reduce my negative impact to the environment - was not off to the greatest of starts.
