Looking out of the window can be scary. ...Hi Mark,<br /><br />Looking out of the window can be scary. Once we've looked, we cannot remove what we've seen from our conscience/conciousness.<br /><br />I believe many people have an idea of what's out there but are too afraid to explore. Others aren't even curious - ignorance is still bliss.<br /><br />If I've learned anything since the Transition journey began for me, it is that the world becomes a far more interesting place with eyes wide open. Frightening, yes. Horrific, of course. But with eyes closed we also miss the truly amazing sights, right down to the exciting sight of new buds emerging on a plant you're growing for the first time.<br /><br />Such a pity that so many prefer to focus on the countless distractions, and truly miss out.<br /><br />Eco :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510401356434571028.post-4376161291797477032011-09-03T01:23:18.923+01:002011-09-03T01:23:18.923+01:00A quick heads-up on the green potato thing.
If p...A quick heads-up on the green potato thing. <br /><br />If part of the potato is green, then there is solanine *all through* the potato, not just in the green bit. So while most people can eat a bit of solanine and not be harmed, if you really want to avoid it, potatoes with green parts need to head right to the compost heap. (The solanine doesn't do animals any good either, apparently, so don't feed the green ones to the chickens).Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11740537436953734830noreply@blogger.com
