Ran down to Civic Center this morning to check out the Slow Food Nation fest. Got there just when they opened, so didn't have to fight the crowds. The victory garden was impressive - I wonder how they got the crops to grow there so fast? Two booths exhorted us to stop using bottled water and to use tap water instead. I got a "I Love Raw Milk" button even though my stomach doesn't digest dairy. Also some non-wheat bread that tasted sourish and herbal. Will try it as a bun with grilled veggies tonight if I can talk M into it. Another booth had a delicious sour cherry conserve and I also replenished my brown rice supply. Tourists, who had no idea this event was on this weekend were delighted by all the wonderful choices and free food samples.
