That photo isn't even close to being current. All up-to-date photos feature mud.

Did you know that when you have your daily spoonful of flax oil (you are having a spoonful a day, right?), you are supposed to keep that stuff in your mouth for a minute before swallowing. Wow! Do that for a few days and you'll learn how to totally turn off your sensory perception.

Things that DO taste good: Maple Cream from Deep Mountain Valley (makes even flax/whole wheat waffles taste like heaven) and my personal crutch - raw honey from Tassot Apiaries.

Got any artisanal food secrets you want to share? I'm listening.

Oh, one other thing in the disgusting-tasting-but-virtuous food category: blue-green algae in powder form can be a little hard to get down mixed into water. (You're not taking it in the capsule form are you? That's for wimps.) But mixed into a blueberry banana smoothie it actually tastes good! And if you are blending your algae-enhanced smoothie at home you can get an extra little bit of joy reminding yourself how much health food stores charge for the same thing.

Also, if you have a pre-teen it is really fun to turn on the blender just when they start talking. I can entertain myself for a long time that way.

(And obviously I deserve everything the teen years are about to dish out.)

Oh, no. You aren't entering one of those healthy eating phases again, are you? I'll save some compost sludge for you, just in case you get hungry :-)

It's not a phase. It's an obsession.

Sarah is one of my sisters. I'm sending her a nice big bottle of flax oil.

I'll ghost author the book:
"Flax Oil for Sister Sarah".
