Good earthquake news...Christy

Our former 'Ooooby girl' Christy Martin and her partner Giulio are safe in Lyttleton/Christchurch.

Their Lyttleton house survived but Giulio's restaurant is wrecked.

Christy's on Facebook.

Cheers

Do you mind giving me your number so I can call you for a chat or if you don't mind you could call me. 09 2783736.

Looking forward to chatting to you.

At 11:05pm on February 2, 2012, Lisa Welbourne said…: Hi Fiona, I was wondering if you would know where I can get hold of some yacon tubers. My son has several severe food allergies and I have recently tried him on yacon, which was a success. I'm now trying to get hold of some more so I can grow and dehydrate them before the winter. Thanks!

I really enjoyed your article on yakon-very informative. Now I just need to use some : )

We're just planning at the mo but would be interested in being a part of it? You'd be great seeing as you've been selling things from day one.

At 9:46am on December 5, 2009, Lynn said…: Hi Fionna...I'm glad you like it. I borrowed it from a website and adapted it a little. I too am writing a book and will include this recipe (and variations) in it. Perhaps if you mention it is a borrowed recipe, it would be fine, hon. After all, I posted it on Ooooby, so there's no particular copyrights, I suppose. Just as long as you are also aware about me going to use it in my book too! hehe

I LOVE your photos. What a beautiful garden. I am in a small rented property, and have very limited space. But I am gradually converting what is available into very productive, food producing space. I have only been here a short while, and it's a challenge and an expense...but getting there. I can't wait for the day I can afford a property with a bit of land.
