Turkey Tracks: November 9, 2010
Explanation: This entry is out of order. In the flurry of getting ready to go to Charleston for Thanksgiving with our children and grandchildren, I didn’t publish this draft to the blog. I wrote it after the November 8 entries about wild yeast breads and cooking with honey.
Ask And You Shall Receive: Synchronicity
Have you ever thought or voiced a need for something–some information perhaps–and within a few days it appeared? This magic is called synchronicity. Some kind of energy goes out into the world and, like magic, the universe/god/whatever delivers what you need.
So, yesterday I was writing about wild yeast and making my macaroon cookies with honey instead of maple syrup. This morning I was reading Yes! magazine–the current copy Fall 2010–and ran across a two-page article called “Can You DIY?” This article talks about how to sweeten with honey, how to capture wild yeast into a bread starter, how to darn a sock, how to save kale seeds (a four-season crop in mild climates), and how to refrigerate without electricity. There are demonstration pictures, too. Take a look? http://www.yesmagazine.org/issues/a-resilient-community/can-you-diy
Yes! magazine can be read on-line, and you are free to use its articles however you wish. It’s mission is to support its readers in building a just and sustainable world. The quarterly issues are devoted to specific themes, like, for instance, this Fall 2010 issue: “Ready For Anything: Building Resilience Now For Hard Times Ahead.” This issue features explanations about the Transition Movement, which is growing by leaps and bounds across the world as people are beginning we have to make radical, structural changes in how we are organizing and living our lives.
