Film & BooksIssue: Taurus 09 - The Garden Issue

Edible Green Mountains

ediblespringcover09_260My new favorite food magazine is Edible Green Mountains.

Filled with beautiful images and interesting articles about local Vermont growers, retailers, chefs, and food artisans, Edible Green Mountains is a feast for the eyes with plenty of food for thought! You can pick up a hard copy at local Vermont natural foods markets, coffee shops, specialty stores, and restaurants. If you don't live in Vermont, visit the magazine online and consider subscribing.

Edible Green Mountains celebrates local, sustainable, seasonal, authentic foods and culinary traditions.  The Spring 2009 issue includes an article on composting, an essay on asparagus, and a profile of the Vermont Butter and Cheese Company along with plenty of spring recipes so that you can eat locally and enjoy the green shoots of the season.

And, by the way, it was a book review in Edible Green Mountains that led me to purchase my newly beloved "The Garden Primer" by Barbara Damrosch. Good stuff! dots

Virgo 09 - The Climate Change Issue

Julie & Julia

Meryl Streep is absolutely mesmerizing in Nora Ephron’s film, Julie & Julia. I was blissfully swept away by her portrayal of Julia Child and the story of her supportive and adoring husband, Paul Child, played by Stanley Tucci.

Frozen River

A struggling, single mother of two has only one wish for Christmas – to move her family out of a broken-down trailer and into a new double-wide.

Aquarius 09 - The Change Issue

WALL-E

Adorable, funny, and eerily post-apocalyptic, WALL-E is, in short, brilliant, and if you haven’t seen it yet, you must rent this fabulous film made by the Pixar division of Disney.

Capricorn 08 - The Career Issue

Dispatches from the Edge

Though Anderson Cooper has reported on many natural and political disasters across the globe, his response to Hurricane Katrina is what made him famous.

Sagittarius 08 & Honest Self Expression

Rachel Getting Married

Like real life-families who have a member struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, the focus of “Rachel Getting Married” isn’t on Rachel, even though it should be. It is on her narcissistic sister, Kym, who is out of rehab for the weekend to attend Rachel’s wedding.

Scorpio 08 - The Money Issue

Review of “The Good Society: The Humane Agenda” by John Kenneth Galbraith

At a time when our nation’s security is in question and our economy is in shambles “The Good Society: The Humane Agenda” by John Kenneth Galbraith has much to teach the abiding liberal as well as the dutiful conservative.
