that anyone can afford
if paid attention
and got the right stuff
Can have a feast
for all five senses
to serve and share
to fill and flow
from Heart to Soul!
How did we get them? We are lucky our Composting system has attracted the Black Soldier flies. These wigglers are Larvae of Black Soldier flies (not harmful or not the sit on poop & sit on food kind)) and they chomp up everything from kitchen compost to animal wastes including bacteria that you shouldn't be worried about Ecoli in your organic compost. What an incentive!!!
That's not all.... As these Larvae ( maggots) eat and grow fat they become a great source of Protein and fat. Their protein content is higher than that of Soy. So why waste time and money with Soy based food for pets?
Have you bought mealworms to feed your backyard birds? These are like that. Do you know these BSLarvae/ Maggots are like M&Ms for chickens and they make great feed for fish too?!
I won't be surprised if these High Protein dudes end up on Exquisite dinning Restaurante platters. There are critters and maggots consumed already as a good Proteing source. This one definitely beats all Nature/s ingenius designs: Compost to straight FOOD....
Wow, imagine from Kichen Garbage to - a month Compost break - become FOOD back into Pan & Platter! Bon appétit!

P.S._ We realized we have inadvertantly killed one or two Black Soldier flies with Fly swat - as they look like black wasps. They have an ANXed flying pattern and were hovering over us as we were mixing compost with soil. Now we know why they were hovering around. Sorry friends.... RIP!

These are my favorite drinks - especially in summer. They quech your thirst and energize you not mentioning the multitudes of health benefits.
Basil is great for lung health and purifying blood. In many Middle Eastern and South Asian countries, they do makeicy-cold milky drinks called Sherbet or Faluda containing these basils seeds.
As children we loved these drinks & the geletinous texture of the soaked seeds. Even gather these seeds in the wild flower beds covered in hoverig Butterflies, dragon flies & bees and soak in milk or water to make our child verson of Sherbet... Just magical!

WARM UP YOGI
Maggie -RIP
Save the world
One step at a time
Feel this moment
The blessings around you
The earth that carries you
Whether you paid attention or not
Like a mother....
Why not start today
And stop cluttering the world
What I throw out
Even to recycle
May end up
At the door step or backyard of another
human being halfway across the world
Isn't in my power
To make it better
Every action I take
To be one step closer
To a better world
Cleaner earth....
Today -
I washed all emptied packages with Ziplock
Once dry they are good as new
To freeze in my cut veggies
Even to store cut lemons in fridge
A lesson I learned from my Child
Who wants a better world
A thriving Earth for his Child!
