Movie, genisoy, and corn!

What is this?

A picture of four Harvey family hands holding their INCONVENIENT TRUTH movie tickets in front of the movie poster image last night. We went, we saw, and we had a quiet ride home.

Vicki at the Veg Family blog has started a new blog called World Warming. She inspired my interest in seeing the movie and continues to talk about what we can do to help stop this horrible increasing CO2 and warming trend. Right now my mind spins to fast with thoughts about this subject that I need to wait before I can say much more on the subject.... except that I did carry my Natural COOP white cotton bags into the store with me last night to carry out my grocery goods. I will now purchase energy saving lightbulbs. I will no longer believe that the "crazy liberal environmentalists" are truly interested in owls, it is about the impact on our environment that the forest land has or regretably does not have in the worst case scenario. *** big sigh... continuing to thoughtfully "chew" on this matter****
While I'm chewing I had an interesting thing happen. Several weeks ago while I was away for a class, I mentioned that I purchased Genisoy chips, deep sea salted. Kaysi of the Genisoy company posted a comment on my blog and said that she enjoyed reading my blog and that if I desire to e' here with my addy then she'd be happy to send me some coupons. I did and she did too. Here they are. I have about 12 coupons worth approximately $80 worth of totally free genisoy products ranging from soy protein powder, protein bars, trail mix, etc.

I also have to brag a little about this company. Awhile ago I was teaching a soy product and cooking class through our district community college continuing education program. I called several companies asking for information and many also sent product samples for use during my demonstration classes. Genisoy was MOST GENEROUS for this and sent a large packae with a variety of full size products. These were very helpful in offering free literature for the health education portion of the class. Many of my class participants were diabetic or menopausal looking and the literature they sent addressed these issues very well. The free samples, which were large full size portions of their various products were very much enjoyed. Although not ALL of their products are vegan ... many, many are.

While shopping or going out for a day with the kids I often stick a genisoy protein bars in my purse. These are convenient and there is no need for me to feel deprived if no other food choices are available. I love deep sea saltd and roasted garlic genisoy chips when I need a convienient protein choice.

And last but not least I am so happy to report our first planting of corn has been harvested and well enjoyed. YUM! Our tomatoes are finally starting to turn red so we can really begin to enjoy. I have canned various types of pickles... one that I really look forward to sharing with you! Ginger garlic pickles reminds me of the pickled ginger that is ofetn served with sushi, but I jarred with adding some onions, carrots, and cucumbers.

I'll be busy the next couple of days watching my cousin's little boy. He is 18 months old and a very active, so I might not get time to blog while he is here. I am also sewing an olive green "camp shirt" ... my first ever. I also have ten days to complete it, so I better get back to it to get as much done as I can today.
