In the meantime, I've added a link (in the right hand column over there) to an upcoming event that is definitely worth a road trip to Buffalo. Daemen College will be hosting the 8th Annual World on Your Plate Conference October 14-15. Clicking on the graphic over there will take you to their website for more info, and you can register online (although pre-registration is not necessary). Some of the workshops and speakers look outstanding, but I am especially excited about the screening and discussion of The Economics of Happiness and keynote speaker Judy Wicks, co-founder of the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE).
So now it's apple time here. The Busti Apple Festival is this weekend, and we've harvested a couple of baskets full from our own trees (it doesn't get much more local than that!), which I'll be turning into applesauce and pie filling today. We had planned a trip out to the farm to help dig up potatoes, but it looks like the weather has other ideas today.
Random thought: I've decided to start thinking of dandelions as food. I will even share recipes.
