Mutiny  of  the  Bounty?  

 

Garrison  Keillor  once  said  the  inhabitants  of  fictional  Lake  Wobegon  lock  their  cars  in  August  so  their  neighbors  won't  leave  bags  of  zucchini  on  the  back  seats.  Learning  how  to  preserve  vegetables  and  fruits  can  prevent  these  surreptitious  “gifts.”  Check  out  our  food  preservation  series:  http://bit.ly/cVx1uL.  

 

Befriending  Broccoli  and  Blueberries  

 Winter  in  Wisconsin  sometimes  makes  me  want  to  hole  up  in  my  house  with  a  pile  of  simple,  refined  carbs.  But  before  you  stockpile  soda  and  white  bread  and  hibernate  until  the  spring  thaw,  remember  that  healthier  options  exist.      Fewer  than  1  in  10  Americans  meet  the  MyPyramid  recommendations  for  fruit  and  vegetable  intake,  so  this  week  the  Learning  Store  is  inspiring  you  to  create  a  more  wholesome  diet:  http://learningstore.uwex.edu/Default.aspx.

Giant  Tomatoes  from  Outer  Space  at  the  Garden  Expo!  

 

 A  steady  diet  of  sci  fi  B-­‐movies  has  made  me  prone  to  hyperbole.  While  you  will  not  find  colossal  alien  produce  at  the  Garden  Expo  (www.wigardenexpo.com),  you  will  find  many  other  wondrous  offerings,  including  a  booth  staffed  by  CE  Publishing  staff  members.  We’ll  bring  our  smiling  faces  and  an  array  of  publications  (http://bit.ly/awJVsI),  and  you  can  save  on  shipping  and  handling  if  you  purchase  on  site.    

 

Serfin’  Safari  

 As  a  lowly  serf*,  I  don’t  often  face  a  homeowner’s  repair  or  maintenance  woes,  but  many  of  you  do.  To  help,  CE  Publishing’s  the  Learning  Store  is  featuring  home  maintenance  content.   *Ok.  That’s  an  outright  lie.  I  am  not  an  indentured  agrarian  servant  in  a  feudal  system.  But  it  was  perfect  for  the  

tagline,  so  I  couldn’t  resist.  You  can  replace  serf  with  renter.
