100th Post: Book Giveaway

From the City and the Country...

We've finally reached it, our 100th post! In celebration we've decided to have a giveaway of one of our favorite farming books. We've both read it and loved it and decided it only made sense that it should be our giveaway.

All you need to do is simply comment on this post. You can just leave your name, tell us why you want it, share what you're making for dinner or let us know what your favorite post has been thus far.

We will announce the winner Thursday night and we'll send the book right to your door.


Farm City; The Education of an Urban Farmer

" I love this book in a way that makes adjectives seem puny and inadequate. It is just flat-out amazing (see? lame) - all that Novella did, the place that she did it in, the things she grew and raised and loved and killed and ate and learned. And how deeply and utterly it paid off- both for her and for anyone fortunate enough to be reading this book. Novella made me want to get up off my ass and go buy a pig! Plant heirloom tomatoes! Build a chicken brooder! Fortunately for all involved, the book was too good to put down, and I just kept on reading instead."
-Mary Roach, author of Stiff and Bonk

On a side note, a warm thanks to all of our followers for reading about our adventures of growing, eating and living in the City and in the Country.

Cheers,

The Harvest Kitchen Sisters

Eatin' Bunny

From the country...

I just spent a bit of time reading a New York Times article about killing rabbits for food. A very interesting article which includes some commentary from the fantastic Novella Carpenter. This particular article spawns an all out war on her blog by people who commend raising rabbit for food and extremists who believe we are eating our pets. A super interesting read and some great points being brought up. Check out the article Don't Tell the Kids (just click the image on the right side...) and the uproar on http://novellacarpenter.com/. Interesting stuff, oh and Amy this one is for you.... If this doesn't sway your opinion an raising back yard rabbits, I don't know what will. Of course I am for it(did you even need to ask?).
here bunny, bunny, bunny..... OR kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit....(they just keep comin')
