I LOVE rice, giving up rice for me would be like you giving up meat or that other lemony beverage you drink Kate!<BR/>Actually, I have seen the shop and town in Italy where wonderful lemons are grown, and lemoncello is made, if you go their first, you may never return! Actually their are many Villa's making it.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155210756905386478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33456225.post-60530329692241136942008-06-27T08:57:00.000+09:302008-06-27T08:57:00.000+09:30Don't buy Australian rice at all.

Never. <BR/>I only buy basmati rice grown in Pakistan but we don't eat much rice for this very reason.<BR/>Serve your meal with mashed potato grown in your garden, instead.<BR/>Grow sunflower seeds, Maggie and pumpkin seeds and try growing amaranth too.<BR/>Like I said, buy local if possible.(But not rice, or cotton!)<BR/>Lunch always sounds good to me, Maggie!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02784846529596496854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33456225.post-80303746326977055202008-06-27T08:48:00.000+09:302008-06-27T08:48:00.000+09:30One thing that concerns me is where all the organi...One thing that concerns me is where all the organic fruit, veg and the dry goods I buy are actually coming from.<BR/>Do I buy Australian non organic or organic rice from India and organic sunflower seeds from China.<BR/>Actually sunflower and pumpkin seeds could be things we could grow.<BR/>I was thinking yesterday we should have a greens cook up lunch, maybe when we meet in July we could bring lunch and eat first, then chat about our gardens.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155210756905386478noreply@blogger.com
