The end result is the sum of all our individual actions. This is the world we have. Your recipe reminded me that I bought a small bottle of coconut aminos recently and have yet to try using it.

I found myself yawning a bit at the repetitive nature of her tale---just weird stuff after more weird stuff. But, I liked the first part of the book. (I had to make something vegetarian though.)

We don't have to like everything, but can appreciate all of the books. Being Italian, I tend to associate broccoli with that style of cooking -- twice cooked - first steamed then sauted in olive oil and garlic. I'm sure Simona can pull up the name for that preparation. I can't recall itDelaware Girl Eatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092821946914664689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923453219156240289.post-70270691009853359102018-06-01T23:39:10.211-04:002018-06-01T23:39:10.211-04:00I do too Claudia.

And I definitely agree that little choices make a big difference. There is a group of kids at D's school who has been educating local restaurants about the use of plastic straws and urging that they either don't offer straws at all or switch to something else. We bought stainless straws for our house when they really want shakes and such. Proud of those kids!Camilla M.

You know who this made me think of???? <br />We ate monkey in Venezuela and dog in Viet Nam. Both were okay. I thought the monkey tasted like chicken. The dog was spicy and we didn't think it was all that good.
