Orthaheel Sandals

August 31, 2010 by keith snow Leave a Comment

We all need to wear shoes, especially for standing long hours at the stove doing our seasonal cooking and canning marathons. I personally have very flat feet..like a pancake. Zero arch. This did not bother me until I was 25 years old and a mountain bike racer. During my training rides my feet would kill me using clip-less peddles.

After 6-9 months the pain became unbearable and my podiatrist recommended orthotics. They were $450 for the casting and design. They worked ( I still have them) but were not useful in open toes shoes of any kind. For instance in the warmer months I rarely use laced shoes unless I need to travel or make an appearance somewhere.

So to solve the problem I became a devotee of Birkinstocks which I love. Recently I came across some sandals from Orthaheel They ROCK! NO doubt the most supportive, comfortable sandals ever. They come in several different models and they align my feet perfectly. I love them. I have been recommending them to friends and family. Several pairs have been bought and several people are now Orthaheel converts too.

Being most of you reading this are women I will point you to the womens section for the site. My friend just ordered the Solana mode in green. They look pretty nice. She loves them and was wearing them the other day when she came over to watch our kids.

Give these shoes a try, I’m sure you’ll love them too!   These are my pair pictured below:

Just a short little message about consuming and cooking with late summer seasonal foods like corn, tomatoes, peaches, peppers etc.

They come and go quickly so I encourage you to take advantage of them by enjoying them on your table TODAY and canning them for this winter. Some Ideas:

  1. Make a batch of salsa with local tomatoes and peppers
  2. Can tomatoes for the winter
  3. Make peach pies, peach chutney
  4. Can peaches for winter
  5. Use bell peppers to stuff with rice and ground beef
  6. Roast local peppers then freeze them or make roasted pepper soup or risotto
  7. Corn-make sweet corn & poblano relish
  8. Make corn chowder
  9. Eat corn on the cob
  10. Make corn and cheddar pudding

Lush Cosmetics

August 18, 2010 by keith snow Leave a Comment

Yeah I know this is a food site!

But..I have always thought it would be great to find hair and body care products that were made with real food ingredients. Even thought of formulating some personally. I figured herbs like rosemary and lavender and other ingredients like avocados, walnut husks, goat’s milk etc. could be combined into healthy products without harsh chemicals.

There is a child-proof lock on my bathroom cabinet for a reason, the personal care products we use are toxic and dangerous, yet we put them in and on our bodies. I recenly came acrose a company called Lush Cosmetics. They make incredible, natural cosmetics that are indeed GREAT STUFF. I recently starting using these items so I could tell you all about them here.

The Harvest Eating family is over 20,000 strong and about 90% female (I love my flock of chicks) so this post is a perfect fit for this audience. Lush cosmetics are very ingeniously designed and the creativity shown in this line is awesome. These are some talented folks.
[flagallery gid=9 name=”Gallery”]

Lush products contain all types of food and herbal ingredients that simply work well. Of course I have tried many natural personal care products, either they do not work or they do not last.  I can’t tell you how many $10 bars of goats milk soap I have used only to get 4-5 showers of use before they are toally gone.

Because I travel often to promote Harvest Eating and my cookbooks, I have become very interested in one bag travel, (more about the bags I use in a future post) essentially packing everything in one bag to avoiding the checked baggage fees. I need to take lightweight gear that helps lighten the load and also pack using packing cubes and pouches to stay well organized and well equipped while on the road. Lush makes some really neat solid shampoos that come in a water tight tin that are amazing. They do not need to be shown to TSA as they are not liquid.  One tin is much lighter then a bottle of standard shampoo. This way I am not subject to cheap and harsh shampoo in my hotel room.

These shampoo bars make an amazing amount of lather, smell good and clean my hair perfectly. They last a long time too. When you see all the natural ingredients contained in Lush, you can really feel good about using them.

The shaving creams are also incredible. I get a very smooth shave and my skin smells like oranges and cream instead of heavy, toxic “guido” cologne like my regular shave gel does. Read the labels on shampoo and deodorant…you’ll be running to visit the lush website.

Above is a slide show showing some of the products. I plan on reviewing them in more detail in the near future so check back often. Be sure to subscribe to your newsletter or RSS feed so you can read the reviews.

Best,

Keith

Thoughtful Harvest Products

thoughtful harvest pasta sauces
I am thrilled to endorse my own line of products called Thoughtful Harvest. Of course I recommend making as much at home as possible, including sauces, vinaigrettes, bread etc. but for those of you that need the convenience of prepared foods I decided to create a line that would fit the Harvest Eating principles that include supporting US farms and buying local.

Datil Pepper PLants From Seed

August 8, 2010 by keith snow Leave a Comment

Back in May I started this year’s batch of Datil peppers from seed. Although germination requires much patience, can take 3 weeks or more…each seeds germinated. The last two years I threw out the seed pots because I thought the seeds were bad. This year I had given up on them but they all came up.

They require moist warm soil to germinate. I use an old yogurt maker we have and cardboard egg crates to place soil and the seeds. I plus it in and keep it moist using a spray bottle. This is critical because if you try to pour water on them the force of the water can disturb the seeds, especially when using a peat moss-based soil as it is very airy.

The good thing about Dail peppers is that unlike smaller pepper plants like habenero or jalepeno these peppers produce strong tree-like stalks that support a big pepper plant that produces huge yields. I like to use these to make a pepper mash which is a mixture or stemmed peppers, salt and vinegar. I place the peppers in the blender with salt and vinegar and blend it up, this mixture can keep years due to the inhospitable environment salt and vinegar create. No bacteria wants to call this place home.

The cool thing for me about having Datil peppers on hand is I get to play around with salsa and hot sauce formulations. I have a brand called Thoughtful Harvest and I really enjoy product formulation. Honestly, I am quite bored with standard hot peppers like jalepeno, habenero, serrano and cayenne. They have become so mainstream. I like the Datil pepper because it has a nifty store behind it and it has remained a back-yard pepper until just a year or two ago when some folks began bottling it.

Aside from a few sub-standard product (sorry-just being honest) that use the Datil pepper it really only lives in the St.Augustine FLA area. Having been brought t the new world by Spanish explorers the origin is still in question but we do know it came through the tropics, Dominican Republic I think, and wound up in St. Augustine in 1565.

It has uses for many Spanish dishes but also makes a great salsa pepper which is what I love it for. Another great use is to make a pot of black beans using a whole Datil pepper. You will get a touch of heat, but a ton of flavor.

Speaking of flavor, the Datil pepper is in my mind the KING of hot peppers as it relates to flavor. Don’t get me wrong, it’s as hot as the Habenero, but has more flavor. Very fruity and “limy” almost floral like a fancy French women’s perfume.

So far my idea is to make a line of salsas that represent countries like Spain, Mexico, Italy etc. For instance, my Spanish style salsa has green olives and high-quality extra virgin olive oil in it. It is rather luxurious and has tons of meaty green olives from California. My Italian has capers, basil, garlic and the same great olive oil. I cannot give up too many trade secrets so I will leave it at that.

II hope you’ll consider bringing this nifty hot pepper to your garden and hopefully to try one of our salsas that use it in late summer 2010.
