Hello, friends!
Even though I had been collecting links all week, I thought I was going to have to skip this installment of links due to my travel. However, here I sit in the airport during an incredibly long layover and I find myself with time to post them.
I hope you are well this weekend. As with most of my comings and goings between the US and Brazil, the feelings are bittersweet. I miss what I am leaving, but excited for what lies ahead (especially my husband!).
I arrive in Brazil in the morning and in our town tomorrow night. I have only four months left of this abroad experience and I have vowed to cook up a storm incorporating all the local ingredients I can so it should be exciting around here in the near future.
Enjoy these great reads and I’ll see you next week!
The Reuben Bread from Food and Life Encounters impressed me greatly. This is actually from last week, but it was just too wonderful to skip over when I found it this week. A Reuben is probably my favorite sandwich variety and this is an incredibly interesting twist.
Creating a Healthier Food Culture for Less Money on Care 2 Make a Difference was a thought provoking post with lots of great tips for how to take the steps to start making your foods from scratch. This one is from last month, but I just discovered it this week and thought it was well worth sharing.
Wheat Berry Salad with Cranberries, Feta and Mint from Not Derby Pie was a recipe and blog I discovered this week when searching out some ideas for how to use my wheat berries.
Eat Local. Die Trying? from Zompaa presents an important question we all have to answer when it comes to where we buy our produce and how it is grown.
Peanut Butter Boy is hosting The Great Peanut Butter Exhibition #6. The theme this time? Barbeque! The deadline is Monday.
Coconut & Lime is hosting a 5 year Blogiversary contest! You need to make one of her recipes or create one using coconut and lime to enter.
Photo of my pug, Macy Mae, taken just a few days ago. One of the things I will miss greatly the next few months.

Thanks for the great links, as always. I love the question about locally vs. organically. It's something I struggle with all the time and am still working to find the answer. In the meantime, I love the discussion of it!
Have a safe flight!!
good links dear...went through them n i must say about choosing local or organic........that why not encourage the local farmers to get more price from their produce just by switching over to organic farming....i have a small kitchen garden where i grow some fresh organic veggies.....
Safe traveling and hope that you enjoy the remainder of your abroad experience (as I'm sure you will). If your 'abroad' plans still include Ireland, be sure to let me know!
I really liked the Creating a Healthier Lifestyle article. It makes me want to bake my own bread.
Safe journey back to your Brazil home! I thought 'Eat Local. Die Trying?' was particularly interesting - the dilemma of conscientious eaters everywhere. Which issues take precedence or is it a matter of making conscious trade-offs? Thanks for the great links!
Eating locally produced foods that are grown conventionally raises a thought provoking question that makes us choose between our health and the environment. Although I choose in favor of my health, this is a tough question to answer and I appreciate the article at Zompaa for raising the question.
I hope you have safely made it home and into the arms of your husband - who I'm certain has missed you! And thanks for all the links!
Only 4 months left in Brazil? Live it up! Hope you got home safe and sound :-)
Great links. Macy Mae is adorable!
