Happy New Year!
I know the days are short and cold, and sometimes grey, but take this time to catch up on a good book, celebrate the inauguration of a new president, and reflect on the year past and share your hopes on the year in front of us.
I still visit the market a few times a week even though it's not as colorful as in late summer, but I still find a lot of happiness in dirt covered potatoes (sweet, blue, and gold are my favorites), organic baked goods, raw cheeses, and lots of apples and pears.
For me, 2009 is another journey into the exciting unknown and I have a feeling it's going to be my best year yet. What does 2009 have in store for you?
As always, keep checking out my healthy lifestyle and greening blog, Stem+Leaf, for recipes, healthy eating tips, and international food and environmental news.
