Here’s one of three radishes that my small garden produced… and yes, this is the end of it! Radishes are not my forte as you can see. Now before you think I really blew it and forgot to make it red, take it easy. It is a white radish, and that was intentional. This was the first product of my […]
One summer a friend challenged me to try a vegan diet. A vegan diet means no animal products (no meat, no dairy, and no eggs.)

Which is better, cage-free eggs or caged? Well, it depends, on who you are! Are you the hen or are you the person eating the egg? That’s the question Ephraim posed to me. He is the kind Hutterite man who transports my favorite eggs from his Hutterite Colony to my local grocery store. I appreciate […]
