Howdy. I’m Monet. I’m a wife, mother of two, and photographer living in Ann Arbor. I started this blog to document my family’s attempt at treading a little lighter on our planet and so I could remember what all we ate with our CSA share food.

I’m leaving this comment on your blog because of your interest in supporting local farming, organic farming and sustainable farming practices. I am trying to get the word out to the public regarding the plight of my friends, Jim and Linette Crosby. Their mint farm, which has been in their family since 1912 and is one of the oldest continually operating mint farms in the country, is scheduled to be foreclosed upon on August 15, 2009…ironically, during the annual St. Johns Mint Festival. To read about the “Battle of Mint Valley,” please visit http://www.peppermintjim.wordpress.com. I am asking for any help you can provide…notifying your readers of their plight, publicizing their website (www.getmint.com) and the National Dram Sale, advertising the Mint Jam ’09 benefit concert…anything at all is much, much, much appreciated! To see the latest news broadcast about the Crosby Mint Farm and it’s current situation, please visit http://www.wlaj.com/news/span-16641-farm-mint.html?referrer=facebook.
I have been making Pho beef noodle soup and wasn’t able to make the soup exactly as the version found in my local vietnamese restaurant. I saw you also made a Pho chicken and wonder if you know how to make Pho beef soup the restaurant way.
I wish I knew how to make the beef pho. But the chicken one was delicious. I used the recipe from Jaden Hair’s “The Steamy Kitchen.” I recommend it.
