farm fresh eggs

so I admit it, I have jumped on the farm fresh, local food, organic bandwagon (except I adore potato chips with gloppy onion dip and other wonderous fatty processes foods) but let's be serious, the farm fresh, slow food movement has merit and isn't merely a trend. also it is delicious.

anyway, it occurred to me that upstate new York is full of farms and I adore visiting farms! I did some research today and learned that I can get fresh milk and cottage cheese, pasture raised chicken and lamb, organic veggies, pick your own berries and eggs all within 15 miles of my house! I am desperately excited to eat all of this and check out all these spots. if apple picking is so amazing in the fall I can only imagine how great visiting these other farms aml summer will be.

I'm also really craving a juicy grass fed steak.

ps I made some amazing asparagus dill soup the other day. my pee still stinks

heater isn't hot

UPDATES UPDATES UPDATES 

i live with my mom and dad in Slingerlands, NY and my routine is as follows:

1) wake up to my pointless alarm, turn it off and lay in bed awhile longer until finally grabbing a book or a computer.

2) showers! i shower every single day now, and it's very refreshing. I hate blow-drying my hair

3) listen to my dad tell me i sleep too late and then I eat breakfast (lunch) and then go to the library and study my lsats and look at books that I want to read but my queue is so long I probably never will and then check out a dvd and some cds I want to burn onto my computer

4) go home and watch the dvd I rented, or another dvd or maybe read a magazine

5) cook dinner! i make dinner for my parents to earn my keep. It is wonderful to cook for people, even if they are my parents and will tell me it is good even if it really isn't.

6) one night time activity is bowling adventures with Bianca. We have tried out 3 Capital District bowling alley's so far and I LOVE bowling. Weirdly my skills aren't improving but it is really fun.

7) other night time activities that haven't really been figured out yet but hopefully involve figuring out how to get drunk in a city that lacks public transportation. Drunk driving is a major NO WAY!

see you sooooon.
