And Now For Something Different . . .

 via
 19th Century tribal women harvesting wild rice in the traditional manner. -- by S. Eastman.

If you visited last month you may recall I mentioned that I am doing a monthly post for the Eco Etsy blog. Well it has already been a month and here we are again. I hope you visit and read the entire article.  Make sure to visit some of the links too. Wild rice is now an important alternative to regular rice in light of the arsenic that has been found in much of our American grown regular rice. Here is the link and title of my article --  An Ancient Harvest: Wild Rice . The link at the bottom of the post titled Waiter There's Arsenic in my Rice, is quite eye opening.

I hope you enjoy the article and the recipes that I included from the vintage cookbook in my shop. While you are visiting Etsy, check out this shop that sells hand harvested wild rice from northern Minnesota, Native Woman . OK, I am done with my shameless self-promotion, but seriously read the article, please!

Have a great Thursday!

What a Week....

Sorry I haven't been around for a few days.  I have a good excuse, really I do! Someone down the street cut through our internet fiber optic cable while putting in a sprinkler system.  It took half a dozen calls to our internet provider to figure out what was wrong.  I can't complain too much, we have had no problems for the past four years.  It did take them five days to figure out what the problem was though. Hmmmm....guess when your customer service department is in another country it takes awhile.  They never bother telling you these things when you sign up  of course!

I will be back to a more normal routine soon and have a lot of catching up to do.  In the mean time I want to tell you about a monthly post I will be doing for the Eco Etsy Team blog.  Fortunately I completed my post last week, the day before they cut the cable!  It was waiting for its post date which is today. The title is The Joy of Native Plants.  I will try and get around to visit all of your blogs as soon as I can, I know I have missed out on some fabulous posts!

If you stop by the Eco Etsy blog, please leave a comment.  Have a great day!  ~~Diane~~
