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.
