looks like good stuff! where's the new years pahty! The old tyme local moonshiners living and departed appreciate your renewed endeavors ! Great gift idea!Make it a yearly tradition!

Great post! Slso excellent referrals regarding organic gardening! Another great local resource is Rose Hips.the fruit of the wild American Rose... Rosa Ragusa. L. They for those who aren't aware are the low scrubby blossoming shrubs on the sides of the path to the beaches. The fruit, when ripe red makes excellent tea rich in vitamin C. much needed this time of year . They can also be eaten raw, however the seeds are not to be eaten. The best way to dry them probably is to cut them open and discard the seeds and the green crown and dry in sun . There is an endless supply and I suggest gathering a good sized amount . One tried you will always love it! they ripen in mid August to early Sept. A local Native American treat that I am sure is an immune system booster that goes great with local honey or maple syrup from our friends up north!

Maybe all of those Quail eggs I see being sold at Asian specialty stores are really pullet eggs that have been splattered with 3 day old oolong tea! What a scam!

Frutti di Mare!!! Anyone with a medditerranean background can appreciate meals like yours! Asians as well! It's about time to be lookin' into good winter flounder fishing... Off topic I've been hearing about many turtle strandings in the last 24 hours.

Saving pennies nickels and dimes and adding them up ... just enough to buy an onion, some celery and a loaf of bread and a stick of butter ,or a can of tomato paste and another of Italian tomatoes and a clove of garlic... a box of store brand spaghetti. we felt like kings eating a feast ! to know the value of a 40 oz bottle of old Milwaukee beer to take the edge off ... dropping away into dreams of plenty....knowing a friend with a hot shower was worth their weight in gold! finding a toilet at 2 AM was another matter .Work in the depths of winter on the cape is really hard to find and is very low paying and more are falling through the cracks. If one does not have their 'acorns' buried it gets tough and old fast! Great blog and highly relevant in these coming times! keep it up Bethany!

Those of us who know others who cannot go online to read this blog should print it and give it to those who are in need and have the wherewithall to be proactive regarding survival under harsh economic and climate conditions. Thinking back I can remember running out of oil and having to drain the water pipes to avoid freezing up.while putting antifreeze into the toilets to prevent the bowls from cracking from ice bind. Hitting the wharf when the boats came in hoping to get lucky and get a free hake or some whiting. Canvassing the town looking for summer residents now abandoned vegetable gardens and finding some acorn squash or some remaining tomatoes tha had not froze... Clamming with my five dollar liscence in the dead of winter when it was so cold the warden did not even show up, having the shovel salt ice a foot thick off of the flats to uncover just enough sand to get a half bucket of quahogs for stuffing or marinara sauce.
