I saw a story today about Bon Jovi opening up a "pay what you can" restaurant in New Jersey this spring. That reminded me that I haven't been to One World Cafe here in Salt Lake City in a while.

I made the rounds of the local markets yesterday, and man... shopping local is NOT fast. I left home just before noon and went to Oasis Cafe first to visit Chad's Produce. There, I bought eggs, spring mix greens, a yellow squash, and leeks. Next I made a quick detour to our landlord's credit union … Continue reading Saturday shopping

I had no idea I was part of a Movement. I didn't even know there was a Food Movement going on.
