Ecclesiastes 1:9 (New International Version)
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
There are many blogs out there that talk about food, slow food, local eating, eating with enviromental responsibility, saving money through food choices and the list goes on. This blog is about my choices regarding those above topics and more.
As far as the Bible passage goes, it is a reference to my attempt to do the same thing that has already been done but also it is a comment on where we are with regard to food. In this area, I actually believe there is something new under the sun. We have so royally screwed up our food systems in America that everyone should be looking at what is going on. There are books, blogs, movies and other media on just this topic. How amazing! The Bible says we can’t do anything that hasn’t been done before and yet here we’ve gone and done it!
I look forward to sharing my thoughts, recipes, food findings and the like with you. The more you know and the more people that join in the better we will all be.

Do you ever think about giving classes on this food movement? I don’t know about everyone else, but I don’t know much about baking breads, making pasta, or pounding out applesauce, and would really like to learn from someone who’s already been through the process.
Thoughts?
Well, the thought has crossed my mind but I honestly feel like I am fresh into this journey myself. This blog is my first step into reaching out to the larger community and sharing what I have found out myself. I hope that it will gain followers and become a forum to share ideas. So, pass this on to everyone you know and maybe we can all benefit.
