Veggies, veggies, everywhere…
After a brief tousle with Floridian thunderstorms and eating to be kind last week, I came home (to Minnesota thunder snow, aloha) a few days ago and have since found myself falling back into an ardently deep like with vegetables.
How is it so easy to forget that?
In the midst of my veg crushin’ I say thank you, hard-working leaves, stalks, roots and the rest. Thank you for what you offer, to me, to my loved ones, to those beyond humans. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, an earthy and grounded space that I revere.

Love the kombu powder idea! I’ve actually never seen it. Where to buy?

I got my dried kombu strips from the Eastside Co-op in northeast–I think any of the cities’ co-ops would have it, if you are back round these parts soon. I’ve never seen it powdered, though.
