Today I picked up my library copy of the cookbook . I took it with me to the dentist office to read while I waited for my son to get his wisdom teeth extracted. As I sat down the receptionist observed my book and commented on how much she enjoyed it. I’ve been referred to the book several times this year and that’s why I was planning to read it.
I don’t know about you, but I tend to read my books from cover to cover; including the copyright notices. Can you imagine my surprise to see the book was originally published more than 10 years earlier? How come I’m just now hearing about it? (Okay, so I often have that reaction to new information.)
At my store, Neighbors Market, I sell raw milk. Learning about raw milk has been the root of many very interesting conversions and much new information for me. Often the customers buying the raw milk have been the ones to make reference to “Nourishing Traditions”. I read several pages of the opening chapter this afternoon. Most likely, I’m going to buy a copy. More importantly though, I’m going to change my foods.
Tonight, for example, I drank raw milk. Raw milk that’s starting to sour. I added (organic) chocolate sauce to it and had it for dessert. I wouldn’t be able to do that with pasturized milk – drink it past it’s “best by” date, that is. I feel like I’m thumbing my nose at the powers-that-be and it’s a good feeling.
