Local & Home grown food

With food and gass prices rising I decided to try to cook as much as I can from veggies from the farmers market in the nearby town and the food I grow in my yard. A couple of weeks ago when the market started there was not a lot to chose from. But it was fun thinking of dishes to make and it even got me to like rutabegas. Not jerusalem artichoke though...I am still not fond of that.

This is what I had to work from:
Rutabega and Jeresalem artichoke


Purple flowering greens of some sort and leeks


Greens and beets


The first night I made pasta from scratch and added a rutabega, leek and carrots that had overwintered in my garden


I also added some mustard greens and herbs from my garden and garlic


Here is the pasta rolled and cut by hand


And the dish:

Axis Mundi on second life!

I bought a whole island in the massive multiplayer game second life! I am going to sell my art and all kinds of other things I make like tattoos and avatars there. When I figure out how to put a game link in a blog I will do that here...I have no idea how! Here is a pic of the sim so far. I didn't make the super cool buildings. They are made pre fab by various amazing second life designers.

Growing your own food

Today I planted all kinds of things! Last year almost everything I tried to grow grew. Most of it really well. I decided this year to try to grow even more of our own vegetables. So today outside in containers I planted watercress, miners lettuce and a lettuce blend. Inside I started green and red scallions, black zucchini, a yellow squash, acorn squash and some dill. I am even trying to grow luffa this year to see if I can make my own sponges.

Textures textures textures

I have been making all sorts of interesting textures to sell in the massive multiplayer game Second Life. I am also working on a new episode for scribblecast.
