Worms at Work

Posted by Mark Leonard / Chief Cook and Bottle Washer | Posted in Sustainability

A while back, I reported that I had received my new worm factory. Without the worms.  They were scheduled to be delivered after a couple of days, but they were apparently lost in the mail.  The vendor sent me another shipment, and we were in business!  One week after the second box of worms came, [...]

Witness for yourself how masterful butchers, experienced chefs and their helpers, use their craft and open-fire cooking techniques to transform these beautiful, sustainably raised animals into a memorable feast for the event participants; of course, accompanied by local wines and spirits without which we cannot really call it a feast, can we?

Posted by Mark Leonard / Chief Cook and Bottle Washer | Posted in Sustainability

After I started reading Nicolette Hahn Niman’s “Righteous Porkchop” and Michael Pollan’s “Omnivore’s Dilemma”, I started buying grass fed beef exclusively.  The taste of the beef reminds me of eating meat back in the 50s where I grew up in Ohio, and there are a host of other benefits as well. I just saw this [...]

Composting using Worm Farms

Posted by Mark Leonard / Chief Cook and Bottle Washer | Posted in Sustainability

I attended a workshop this weekend on worm-farming, also known as vermicomposting, and just ordered our worm-farm. The reason I’m interested is because we have the space for a small garden but haven’t planted one yet, and it’s time. We’re tossing plant matter into the trash, and we could turn that garbage into fertilizer and [...]

Reading Michael Pollan

Posted by Mark Leonard / Chief Cook and Bottle Washer | Posted in Sustainability, Writers/Media

“The Omnivore’s Dilemma” is my current book.  Although I’m only about half-way through, Michael Pollan’s book has helped changed forever the way I shop for food, the way I cook, and my understanding of the term “sustainability”.  His research into the impact that our federal government subsidy of corn is having on our diets, our [...]
