Good afternoon,

Well, it's the afternoon of the first day of my blog. And it's day two of my new food plan. Focusing on eating what I love - local fruit and vegies from the farmers' market, and select sustainable protein (not red meat).

In the Portland Metro area, we have so many wonderful farmers' markets to choose from. My favorite is the Saturday market at PSU. Every Saturday is like a community event there - incredible local organic produce, fab food carts, live music, cooking demonstrations, beautiful flowers and plants, people selling what they make, etc. We go every Saturday and buy food for the week. We also get breakfast at one of the carts (Tastebud is a favorite) and listen to the music. Fun weekly family event. It's fun to go to other markets as well - fun to check out what they have, go to different neighborhoods and support the different vendors.

Well, I can't put it off any longer. Time to organize my office. I moved the furniture around so I look out into the backyard - lovely view (if I do say so myself). But the view of the room isn't so great - must move boxes! I actually love getting organized - good feeling - I'm odd that way.

...and remember to make it a great day!
