As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been having a little trouble lately in the inspiration department. Ever since finals ended, I have been doing things that have been bringing it back. And it is soo nice. It feels great to be free to spend my time doing things I love. The trick, of course, is to find inspiration on those rainy, dark Vancouver days when you have 4 papers due, a class at 7 am, and it’ll be at least three months til it’s warm enough for anything edible to sprout.
One place I can always count on for a little boost is the Perennial Plate. The Perennial Plate: Adventures in Sustainable Eating is a website run by Chef/Activist Daniel Klein, and his lovely now fiancee Mirra Fine, who happens to be a kick-ass film maker. Together, they started a little cooking show, and the season 1 webisodes are all focused on local eating in Minnesota. Lately, the little movies they make and post on their website have taken off, and so have Mirra and Daniel…all the latest webisodes are international adventures. Definitely check them out. Their videos are beautiful, hilarious, and make me want to cook, hunt, travel, grow veggies, and share meals.
