This Organic Life: Confessions of a Suburban Homesteader by Joan Dye GussowMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I started her other book first....which follows this story, and I was intrigued enough by that one to read this one before I finished that one. They are written in the same flavor, both of them enjoyable to me because eating local and gardening are becoming more and more important to me as time goes on. This one has recipes for the produce she reaps from her garden and I was sure to bookmark those. She also spurned me on to freeze fresh veggies from the garden because I can't tell you how many times I have thrown away fresh produce from my garden or CSA. Today I froze two meals worth of fresh green beans that I couldn't have possibly made myself eat! Baby steps. When she talks about what it feels like to walk into a grocery store I could totally relate...it is the exact same for me....being surrounded by bad food is suffocating. And wrong. I also ordered several books that she mentioned on gardening.
