A Very Permie Wednesday
Feb. 27th, 2008 11:01 pmToday I:
Ate an apple and free range eggs for breakfast
- Did some Job
- Rode my electric scooter to the Austin Farmer's Market at the Triangle
- Purchased veggies and eggs at the Market while charging my scooter
- Continued reading Your Money or Your Life while enjoying pecan pie and chai at the Triangle Flipnotics
- Proceeded to Wheatsville Food Co-op for the balance of my groceries
- Continued to Habitat Suites, home of the Permaculture Winter Series of presentations to see their excellent Local Food unit. Todays presenters were Dick Pierce, Austin Permaculture instructor, Marla Camp, creator of the fantastic Edible Austin magazine, and Andy Erwin, culinary school graduate and accomplished local-food facilitator, who's worked starting and helping with farms from 2-60 acres, and has one of the most infectiously positive personalities of anyone I've ever met
- Hit Magnolia Cafe on the way home pursuing a much-pimped bison burger they serve as a result of their participation in the Edible Austin Local Food Restaurant Week. However, they no longer have the bison burger, and as a result will not be getting a link from me. The herb-roasted pork that I *did* get, however, was nearly orgasmically delicious, despite the long wait
In the process, I traveled about 25 miles on my 0.3 cent/mile scooter, refreshed my larder with about 75% local food, re-filled my organic extra-virgin olive oil bottle for $7, and experienced great validation and re-invigoration on my own permaculture path.
I highly recommend checking out Edible Austin for *anyone* interested in local food. The magazine, started with a mission to connect people with their local food sources, is on it's 4th quarterly (actually, seasonal!) issue, and is Just About the Best Thing I've Ever Seen involving local food. Packed full of articles on local farms, fascinating personalities, CSAs, and recipes, it's one-stop shopping for your food scene. Most of the articles are on the website, and the publication can be found around Austin. There are now 51 Edible Cities running this program now! It's definitely reached the level of Movement.
