Wed. 8/4 @ 10:00 pm & repeats 8/8 @ 3:00 am on KCTS 9 in Seattle & KYVE in Yakima.

Something to chew on
"We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons."
-Alfred E. Newman
(from title page of a report called the Upside Down Fate: Analysis of a Priming Survey Exploring Views of the Food System by Meg Bostrom, April 2006)

How do we fit it in?
So the director of Eating Alaska was up until midnight vacuum packing smoked king salmon.
In fact it might be time to check the next batch in our little home smoker now...and the other night was a late one, cleaning, processing and jarring wild beach asparagus we harvested. Being close to what you eat is so awesome, but it is not fast and not always convenient --as we exemplify in the scene in Eating Alaska, when we get stuck goat hunting. In uncertain times, with the oil spill and more, all this reflects something good, something hopeful, even if it generates a long list of "to dos" or is it "to dues?"..."
