Are apple seeds poisonous?
It’s apple orchard time! (Don’t you love this time of year?) Like many of you, we recently visited a local apple orchard. While there, we purchased a 1/2 peck of apples (that’s one little bag for all you non-measuring types). Honestly, it’s a lot of apples, but my two year old loves them.

Not that I’ve been eating THAT healthy, but I have been trying to make better choices in the local and organic fruit, veggie and meat selections. (But I keep forgetting to ask The Golden Arches where they get their potatoes. Note to self…) The more »
Potatoes Joe
On the way out to a non-local, non-organic dinner tonight, I told Todd to be on the lookout for this little roadside stand that I had seen but never visited.
