power FOODS

Green chili has made my week.  Sometimes I struggle in the winter since most produce is sun-powered.  But, I have learned how to make the best of what IS available.  Using imported, hot-house tomatoes is never my first choice; however, if you are going to cook them for hours, like I do in green chili, tangy unriped green tomatoes can be just the thing to fool your taste buds for another week until Spring arrives.  Here’s a sun-powered Call that will make your week too.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Power It Forward for a T-Shirt Design contest.  Your design can help offer wind/solar power to one of the estimated 1.3 billion people without power in this world.  No entry fee, plus cash prizes. I love this one…
