Something to think about during the quiet season

I know. It is so very wintery right now. I am relying on my stock of canned, frozen and dried produce to get me through. My refrigerator is nearly empty all the time. What a difference from the overflowing produce drawers and the meals that I cranked out all summer. So, in this time of quiet, I am starting to think about my commitment to eating well, and the choices I make on behalf of that commitment. Wendell Berry, an amazing thinker/ doer, wrote this essay called 'The Pleasures of Eating' (from What Are People For?). He wrote this gorgeous piece in response to the question, 'What can city people do' to support the agricultural landscape? Check it out.
