Whew!

Blog building is hard work-- at least if you're as indecisive as I am about appearance :) I've changed the poor thing's template and colours so many times its poor head is spinning, I'm sure. I know that *mine* is!

I want this blog to reflect the feeling of Tallulah House, which is frequently described as warm and happy by visitors. I'll probably keep on obsessing about the colours for a while, so don't be surprised if you see some changes. I'm also trying to get Chris, my PhotoShop wizard husband, to make a cool banner for the top of the blog. *hint, hint, honey*

In other, less-colour-obsessed news, I did my second veggie pickup on Wednesday and we are now awash in wonderful, fresh, organic vegetables! Last night I made roasted fingerling potatoes with garlic and onions, and a raw zucchini and squash salad. It was drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice, as well as sea salt and a bit of parmesan cheese. Delicious! All this bounty is from Riverview Farms, just outside of Atlanta. I joined their CSA (community supported agriculture) out of extreme guilt of the amount of fossil fuels that are used to ship food from all over the world. I'm making an effort to only eat things that are from within 100 miles of me (ala Barbara Kingsolver's new book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life, or Plenty: One Man, One Woman, and a Raucous Year of Eating Locally) and I'm dragging Chris along with me :) I'd encourage everyone to give it a try!

Happy summer feasting!
