A Reporter at Large

Haven’t posted anything for a while (my apologies), but just wanted to give this quick dispatch from Somewhere in the Middle of America, where I am for Thanksgiving.

From the land of tragic clowns and land whales, comes the Nacho Burger!

Why yes, there are tortilla chips in the burger.

This is the perfect way to end your Black Friday shopping experience at the Walmart across the 6-lane road.

More Urban Farming

A few months ago, we posted a TED Talk by Pam Warhurst about the town of Todmorden, England, who have been re-purposing their public lands for growing food. This video shows a bit more of what the town is like and the effects that the whole Incredible Edible project has been having on their community. Their idea offers some great ways that we can maximize the usefulness of the land in our cities, and create a greater sense of community. They have created a site dedicated to the project: http://www.incredible-edible-todmorden.co.uk/

The site has resources for anyone interested in starting a community gardening project, links to more videos, the history of their movement, and more.

Because those curry rice stick noodles with smoked tofu are just THAT good!
