Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

I was in Wyoming when I had my first taste of range raised beef. It was
grainy and tough, but cooked right it tasted great!

I should think about going back to my ancestral Japanese diet and learn to
make pickled vegetables! Miso soup, a little bit of fish, a steamed
vegetable and rice. I started to eat more brown rice. White rice is the
downfall of a a Japanese diet.

I bought a couple of Rocky Range chickens on sale at Whole Foods and have
admit to feeling gross after taking 4 days to eat one chicken, no matter how
natural it is.
