I think most people who know me know that I founded a nonprofit program called
Sustainable Table – we try to educate consumers about sustainable food and issues with our food supply.
In the past year, especially, sustainable food has become popular and even a bit trendy, as people are really starting to question where their food comes from. (Yeah!….)
I do interviews every so often – here are two:
“Sustainable Table“, New York Spirit, April/May 2008 – by Heather Ashare
(It’s basically about our philosophy at Sustainable Table.)
“Snack & Diane“, Grist, 15 October 2007 by Katharine Wroth
I’m so bad! I spent the month of May working from Arizona – the Village of Oak Creek part of Sedona to be exact – made a post or two, and then got so into my time there that I didn’t post anything else!
Well, to sum it up, it was an amazing month. The flowers were in bloom (I’ll get photos up some day…); the weather was perfect and ranged from the 40s to the 90s, even had rain and clouds (I love the variety) – and, most importantly, I had time to hike at least once a day and spend a lot of time outdoors among the red rocks and the beautiful blue sky. Oh, and have a little time to hang out with the locals….
A couple friends came out to visit while I was there. We found a great biker bar in Jerome, an old mining town turned art colony, where we hung out one Sunday afternoon with a live band and a lot of cool people. We also went to the Martini Bar in Sedona one night – there was an amazing live band of local musicians playing – and we ended up having drinks with two of John McCain’s secret service agents. It was one of those great nights where you meet almost everyone in the place.
I also found a couple new spots to hang out and relax – Schnebly Hill Road pull off (there are picnic tables there) and the rocks on Oak Creek right across Red Rock Crossing Park.
I’ve come back to NYC relaxed and with a lot of things in perspective – fingers crossed it stays this way!
