What’s one habit that has improved your life the most?
https://www.headspace.com …I pay for the yearly subscription and it unlocks additional features. Guided meditation (and a useful chat bot called Ebb) helps me gain additional quality of mind.
If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?
Owen Sound Farmer’s Market… between the city hall and the library. The market’s open until 12:30 p.m. today!
How do you waste the most time every day?
I enjoy UNSTRUCTURED time watching our hummingbird feeding stations, and the drama it entails!
Time wasting? Nah.
Dog biscuits? There’s ALWAYS time to sell dog treats at the Handicraft House.
…than the wheat and peanut? Answers: (i) TS uses peanut FLOUR as she mills it herself. You can ask her WHY she does that instead of using peanut butter; (ii) TS peels, shreds, dehydrates 20 pounds HOOMAN-GRADE (as a dog would think it) sweet potato, and mills it; (iii) see this video as evidence of TS’ efforts…
And a GIF too!
(iv) when there’s 2 dehydrators running for at least 24 hours, it taxes our off-grid power system (when it’s sunny, the PV panels generate all the kW we need [when it’s cold and rainy, we must rely on our propane powered GENNY-GENERAC]); (v) TS makes these biscuits in small-batches… so there’s no economy of scale (no Purina Dog Chow nor MilkBone [blech] factories); (vi), And that’s why TS must charge a premium for the sweet potato biscuits. TS’ efforts justify the prices for all of the product line for that matter!
By the way: PN has witnessed what the kitchen looks like after a sweet potato milling session. Imagine taking a cooked pumpkin AND a fully dried out gourd, and tossing it into a gasoline-powered turbine-fan. Yeahhhhhhh. IT HITS THE FAN. Cleanup at the rock farm, eh.
