As I mentioned in my last post, we attended a dinner on the weekend which called for us to use local ingredients. It wasn't a high pressure affair - the request was that our meal 'feature' local ingredients. Well I threw myself into the challenge! We always put a bit of thought into trying to reduce our food miles anyway and this was the perfect opportunity for me to test how well I could produce a completely local meal. I had a ball! An added benefit was the adventure that I enjoyed while sourcing my food. Firstly I contacted a vineyard in Trawool. I know the owner but have not been consuming his wine. It is a bit more expensive than I would normally buy (I'm a cheap wine gal ) but...... oh my goodness, it is lovely wine! I used some in the casserole (which I prepared on Friday) and had the discipline to resist tasting the remainder until our Saturday night dinner. It is certainly a wine I would consider purchasing for a special occasion or as a gift. When I mentioned to John that I would be posting about my purchases, he said he would offer his wine for $20 per bottle. He has 2008 Cab Sav or 2010 Shiraz available. So if you would like to take him up this offer mention this post when you email him. His email address is [email protected]. Following that, I purchased our meat at a farmer's market. I wasn't even aware of this wonderful farm in Clonbinane! I did know that someone was raising Belted Galloways (rare breed) because we see them as we drive past on the highway, but didn't realise they were selling their meat through farmer's markets. They sell in Melbourne, Castlemaine, Woodend, Bendigo, Riddells Creek and Lansfield. It turned out that Hubby knew these folk because his brother used to show Belted Galloways a number of years ago. Hubby and I decided to visit their farm and it was great! Pumpkin was keen to see some calves so Allen took us out to the paddock full of Mums and Bubs. I don't know if you can see it, but the calf on the left has a milk moustache. Very cute! We found out that they use every part of the animal 'Nose to Tail'. Yay! They even sell some of the manure to Melbourne restaurants with rooftop gardens. So if you are interested in a sustainable choice for your meat, check out Warialda Beef. I was a bit in love with the gorgeous hides but forgot to ask how much they were. I reckon they'd be worth a lot..... but aren't they beautiful! Warialda Beef also make a lot of traditional smallgoods. All in all it was a fascinating visit and I was impressed by their ethics and their meat! I tell you what! I never enjoy shopping in the big supermarkets AT ALL! I see them as a necessary evil, hate the marketing hype, packaging etc. I will be doing more local shopping from here on in because it was FUN!!! Doesn't this look more fun than shopping with a trolley! So....... I ended up with a casserole made with the beef and wine. I was very pleased (and surprised) to discover that I had enough veggies in the garden to complete the meal. *Oh my goodness! This is an addendum! I forgot to tell you my extra ingredients. I also used some flour to coat the meat, some paprika and some pepper. Sorry, didn't mean to pull the wool over your eyes.* My olive oil is also from a local source. I buy it at the Black Market. The night itself was fantastic and the quality and range of food laid out on the tables was incredible. To top off my night, not only was there food fun but David Holmgren and Su Dennett did a presentation for us on re-localisation of food. For those who may not know, David is a co-founder of the permaculture movement and is a man of great passion and vision. There is so much to be learnt from him so have a look at his website. The comment that most hit home for me was that, even in the supermarkets, it would be great to see people buying the foods that are in season, rather than behaving like 'spoilt brats' and having food such as strawberries carted all the way from Queensland to Victoria. I love the 'spoilt brat' analogy! I can imagine some people stamping their feet and demanding what they want, when they want it! Su is David's partner and has done a lot of work around the re-localisation of food. She would love to see people buying food near their homes rather than allowing the wasteful process of transport. If we are to be truly sustainable, we must consider where our food comes from. Food is the basis of sustainability. It is the largest area that we waste energy. Yet it is such a basic need. It sustains us, keeps us healthy and is such a pleasurable and sociable thing to enjoy. I loved how just a meal became such a fun journey for me. I encourage everyone to do a bit of research into the businesses around them. You'll have so much fun doing it! I know we will be doing more of this form of shopping in the future and hey, if you read this post and are a local business, send me an email because I'm very interested in who else is around us. I would just like to add that I am not connected with either of the above businesses but wanted to give them a plug because they were great!

Wachenheim is a graduate of Williams College and Harvard Business School and is a former securities analyst at Goldman Sachs.What People are Saying What People are Saying About This From the Publisher Common Stocks and Common Sense by Edgar Wachenheim III, chairman and chief portfolio manager of Greenhaven Associates, is a delightful book. Part memoir, part case study, part advice, it sheds light on a stellar investing career. - Brenda Jubin, Seeking Alpha "Ed Wachenheim has been an extraordinarily successful value investor for decades, and in this well written and engrossing book, he explains his investment approach through case studies, including mostly investments that went well but also some that went badly. The key takeaways are that success requires intense commitment to research, a probabilistic mindset, and the temperament to remain rational in the face of market irrationality." —ROBERT E. RUBIN, Former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury "Ed Wachenheim often emphasizes the great value of using one's 'common sense' as an investor. But after he describes how he has analyzed every imaginable dimension and variable of several organizations before deciding whether to buy their stock, we quickly realize that there is nothing even remotely 'common' about his ability to be both prescient and wise. This is a fascinating and enlightening book that is completely accessible to the layman, and should be required reading for professionals." —NEIL L. RUDENSTINE, Former President of Harvard University "Ed Wachenheim is a very successful investor who has never sought the limelight. He has written a book on investing which is a kind of confessional, talking openly about his stock picking experiences with humor and candor. Reading about his odyssey over the past several decades will prove to be a useful apprenticeship for both the novice and the experienced investor. I learned a lot and I've been doing it longer than he has." —BYRON R.

Will History tell the story that Donald Trump's success in his road to the White House was stimulated by his frequent use of Twitter? How is Twitter changing the political landscape? How has the use of a communication tool, limited to 140 characters or less, become a globally recognized dispenser of news, facts, alternative facts, and a moral compass for our society? This book compiles compelling essays and works from eyewitness accounts, governmental views, scientific analysis, and newspapers to give your readers the big picture about Twitter and its importance. Readers will be given both sides, for and against, on topics such as whether Twitter should be used for news reporting, whether the psychology behind it is healthy, and whether it will become profitable. Facts that are salient to both sides of the story are copied from the text and highlighted so readers can use them for report writing, research, or forming opinions based on relevant information.
U.K.-based embroidery artist Helen Wilde interprets oceanic landscapes in her three-dimensional hoop embroideries. Using tightly edited color palettes, often featuring teals and natural tones, Wilde layers stitches, knots, twists, and pom-poms. The organic shapes resemble commingled forms of plant life, and are built upon organza or hand-woven fabrics. Wilde’s most recent work was inspired by the tropical modernism of Sri Lanka. You can see more of her botanical embroidery on Instagram and purchase original works in her Etsy store. More
