Abundant Harvest Organics

Lisa and I are excited to be chosen as Abundant Harvest Organics’s (how do you pluralize that?!) hosts in Reedley! Abundant Harvest Organics (new window) is a family effort that brings the farmer’s market to your family on a weekly basis.

I received our first box of food this week, and I’m overwhelmed by the quality and selection. I ate my first raw beet today, and I’m ready to swear off wasabi peas for good. We have so many good vegetables I’m not sure what we’ll do with them all. Luckily, each week’s box come with a few recipes suggestions.  If you’d like to preview Abundant Harvest’s produce, join Lisa and I tomorrow afternoon (Saturday) at our house from 3:30 pm to 5 pm for a tasting party.  It’s an informal affair; please don’t bring gifts for the fruit. (They’re so hard to shop for, anyway!)

Heaven, Earth, Tequila

This is a really cool set of photos from the corazon of Mexico.  Check it out: mediastorm.org/0005.htm (new window).

Amazing New Technology!

Born a pirate!

I’m sure you know, if you’re a regular reader of this blog, that today is my birthday.  What you may not know, however, is that it’s also International Talk Like a Pirate Day (I am not making this up).  How ironic that my grog-swilling twin brother and I should be born to such a lexical legacy!  In light of this, I expect all subsequent birthday greetings to be appropriately piratey.  In case your sword or your wit is feeling dull, here are a few sample birthday greetings:

“Ahoy, birthday boy!”

“Here’s hoping your treasure chest is loaded with booty!”

“Is that a parrot on your shoulder, or is that Liam?”

You’re all much more clever than I, and have probably swilled less grog this morning.  Feel free to add your own (piratey!) birthday greetings in the comments.

Are celebrities above the law?

I guess not.  The following link is evidence: www.thesmokinggun.com/mugshots (new window).  Why do we revere these people?  Notice the notoriety of the names on the list.  Everyone from Paris Hilton to Tom DeLay is here.  Please, never let me be famous!

Meta note: This reminds me of the good old days when you used to come to andrewandlisa.org for weird links to web sites you never would have found on your own.  Now you come for compelling content and cute baby pictures.  Remember the good old days?

New shinnphoto.com!

We have an updated site at www.shinnphoto.com!  Stop by, take a look, and tell me what you think in the comments below.  Is there anything not there that you’d like to see?  How’s the musical selection?

Excited,

Andrew
