Eat Grow Think

In this episode, Tim and I talk about diary in and some of its marvelously tasty forms: milk, butter, cheese… and I come to the defense of whole milk. Viva la 3%! Another late one, I know. Sorry guys. But it’s a little longer than usual, so hopefully the extra content makes up for it?

In this episode, Tim and I talk about composting and the logistics of managing waste streams at a personal and community level using the Zero Waste project in San Francisco as a case study. We kinda pushed the boundaries of food-topic relevance with this one, but you can’t really talk about composting on a community level without talking about refuse collection and recycling too. We mostly stayed on point and focused on the composting element… mostly.

Now that you’ve figured out what you’ll grow and how you’ll grow it, it’s time to get dirty! In this episode, Tim and I talk about the advantages and disadvantages of planting in-ground, in raised beds, and in containers. Not sure what I did to the sound on this one but, unfortunately, I managed to slam the file so I couldn’t undo it… I kind of sound like I’m talking underwater >_< Listen Now: Download: EGT: Episode 008 Intro Music: “Bullseye”, from the album Imperfect by Dan Kirk Outro Music: “Cabin Fever”, from the album Imperfect by Dan Kirk If you like the intro/outro music, consider buying the album here.

In this episode Tim and I talk a little about what we did for Thanksgiving. We had our successes but, more importantly, we also had some real failures. But it didn’t stop us and we didn’t let it ruin the evening. You’re going to fail when you cook, it’s inevitable, but it’s also not the end of the world. Be flexible and creative and you’ll be fine. Worst case? There’s always pizza!

In this episode Paul and I talk a little about what it means to eat healthy in general and, especially, as the holiday snacking season kicks into high gear. Skype was a little temperamental for this one so the levels are a little wonky, Paul’s side of the conversation cuts out periodically, and I’m still working on that whole mic-to-mouth distance thing so I don’t fade out… but we soldiered through it Listen Now: Download: EGT: Episode 002 Intro Music: “Bullseye”, from the album Imperfect by Dan Kirk Outro Music: “Cabin Fever”, from the album Imperfect by Dan Kirk If you like the intro/outro music, consider buying the album here.

This episode is light on food-specific topics, but we thought it would be a good idea to introduce ourselves and talk a little about our interests and approaches to food. Unfortunately, Paul ran into technical difficulties and wasn’t able to join us but we’ll get him on here eventually. There are a few parts where I fade out because I got animated and intuitively leaned back from the microphone so I could talk with my hands; I promise I’ll be better about that going forward Listen Now: Download: EGT: Episode 001 Intro Music: “Bullseye”, from the album Imperfect by Dan Kirk Outro Music: “Cabin Fever”, from the album Imperfect by Dan Kirk If you like the intro/outro music, consider buying the album here.
