Hi there,

you have a very cool looking blog, and I just wanted to leave you a comment. So anyway, I just wanted to see if you would visit my blog. And if you follow me, I will follow you... :)

Yes, I didn't even get into that in my post about how they serve these nationwide throughout the school lunch programs. I meant to...makes you wonder why so many kids get diabetes nowadays--so many processed foods are the norm for them. So sad. I'd be really happy to see them serving simple PB&J on plain white bread like they used to over the Uncrustables.

I heard a "Splendid Table" podcast recently that featured a woman from the school lunch program in St. Paul, MN. They discussed the amount of money they were given per child for their expenses just to break even (food, labor, benefits, supplies, equipment, fuel for trucks, etc). That total dollar amount for their program is less than $3 per child - which comes down to $1 for food after all is said and done. USDA buys some things from farmers for the lunch program that are subsidized and it comes to about 20 cents per child. This is what has led the programs to purchasing processed foods for the lunches. The issue is so huge and has so many levels of politics and dysfunctional components. It is really upsetting.

You know, they actually serve uncrustables (and wo...

You know, they actually serve uncrustables (and worse) in the elementary school lunch program - in Fairbanks. Eli took a bite once and decided they were not food but other kids who probably have never had Dave's killer bread and real peanut butter without all the additives and sugar eat them regularly.

Whoa. Anonyhole really went out there on a limb with an ugly-troll dance.

Hey, I learned more about macaroons just now than I ever thought possible. So. Hat's off to you for your post, your artistry and your response.

I'll try to keep my snickering to myself as I ponder what Matt and Jeff are doing at their 'real jobs' today. Probably involves baking cookies. Wait. No, that's Thursday. Right-o.

Hi Heather! I just saw your name in the Summer UAF catalog and thought "I bet I can google her!". Wow, Congrats!! 2 weeks left! Seriously, this summer we have got to do some sort of barbecue or something again.
I am very impressed by your garden post last June, printed off your list of plants that can grow on Murphy Dome. I need to visit the other end of Cascade and learn your secrets!
Clover (your neighbor, sort of!)

Hi Heather - It's Friday and I hope you are enjoying your day 'off'. Hang in there! Two weeks +/- to go.

Love, Dad

Thanks Allyson. We've got to move fast here with the super short growing season so I am always pushing the date to plant out. With our hoop covers for the raised beds, everything seems to stay happy even in cooler evenings. The only things I wait on are squash and bush beans because they just like it sunny and hot! We got our earliest salad yet this year: June 13th...which is great since we can't plant until June 1st here (supposedly!).

How inspiring...I thought my list of starts and plantings was long! Once again, I admire your gardening work. I need to shed the fear of planting too early...I am always so late in harvest due to this irrational fear of killing my precious starts that I have nurtured so lovingly all winter in my basement.

Dan, yep, I am indeed a crazy gardener and I absolutely love to grow things! I just can't help myself. My gardening journals have really helped me to have more success each year I start seeds. I am a bit OCD about it eh?
