Purple potato wedges with feta {Low-salicylate}



For a very short period of time, we have local purple potatoes in season. And they’re gorgeous—bright, vibrant and just itching to be used. As usual, I needed a swift lunch before launching into the never-ending list of demands. Potato wedges are easy, fast and satisfying—a perfect fit. I have to admit I was a little disappointed that the stunning color of the potato didn’t survive the cooking process, but the wedges were delicious all the same. 

How to start a 1-acre, self-sustaining homestead

(Mother Earth News) Expert advice on how to establish self-sufficient food production, including guidance on crop rotations, raising livestock and grazing management. Your 1-acre homestead can be divided into land for raising livestock and a garden for raising fruits, vegetables, plus some grain and forage crops. Illustration by: Dorling Kindersley

Everyone will have a different approach to keeping a self-sufficient homestead, and it’s unlikely that any two1-acre farms will follow the same plan or methods or agree completely on how to homestead. Some people like cows; other people are afraid of them. Some people like goats; other people cannot keep them out of the garden. Some people will not slaughter animals and have to sell their surplus stock off to people who will kill them; others will not sell surplus stock off at all because they know that the animals will be killed; and still others will slaughter their own animals to provide their family with healthy meat.

Beautiful glass roof tiles heat your home with solar energy year-round

(Inhabitat) SolTech Energy, a Swedish company selling solutions for clean solar power, has developed a unique home heating system contained within roofing tiles made out of ordinary transparent glass. The attractive house-warming tiles (somewhat ironically) give roofs a beautiful, icy appearance quite unlike anything else we’ve ever seen before.


In 2009, the SolTech Energy System was selected by a jury and nominated among nine as the year’s “Hottest New Material.” Based on votes by the people, the company’s glass tiles were awarded with a gold medal from the North Building Fair, Nordbygg. “The winning entry combines an attractive design with essential functions for clean and sustainable energy. It is an innovative product that is well in time,“ said the chairman of the jury, PhD. Bengt Toolanen.

One congressman just ruined legalized marijuana in DC for everyone. Here's why

By Matthew Segal

(Attn:) Earlier today, we published a story about Rep. Andy Harris from Maryland who just led the charge to overturn the will of Washington D.C. voters by inserting language into Congress' spending bill that prevents the District from implementing the referendum they passed to legalize recreational marijuana in the 2014 midterm election. That referendum, by the way, passed with 70% of the vote on Election Day.

Attn: recently conducted a poll of its readers which found that more than 90 percent support marijuana legalization as well.

Rediscover the healing wonders of raw apple cider vinegar

Offering a wealth of outstanding health benefits, raw apple cider vinegar has been the darling of natural remedies for thousands of years. Ancient civilizations used the vinegar as a preservative and condiment, while Hippocrates (otherwise known as the "Father of Medicine") enthusiastically praised its medicinal virtues.

Rich in malic acid, apple cider vinegar may assist in helping reduce the symptoms of fibromyalgia. A preliminary, double-blind trial discovered that malic acid, when combined with magnesium, lessened muscular pain in those who suffer from fibromyalgia. Participants who consumed upwards of 600 mg of magnesium and 2,400 mg malic acid experienced the greatest reduction. Additionally, due to its malic acid content, apple cider vinegar possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, thereby supporting cardiovascular health.

Professor reveals shocking report on flu vaccinations

(Collective Evolution) It’s great to see more “academics” that openly push and encourage the world’s biggest pharmaceutical companies to open their records to outsiders in an effort to better understand the potential harmful consequences of the drugs that billions of people across the world take everyday.

Should the transparency of drugs and vaccines that millions of people take every year not be a given? Unfortunately it’s not.
