It would be great to get some feedback from people who were able to get to the Sally Fallon talks throughout the country : ) What were the highlights and what kind of useful information were you able to gather? I heard that there were a lot of people
Please could you let me know if you are from Tauranga and are going over to see Sally. Would you mind having one more in your car? Happy to make a contribution to petrol.

I bumbled through making stock the other week -- for the first time, following the instructions in Nourishing Traditions. Well, trying. I was left scratching my head a bit, going 'but what does that MEAN?'. Happily some things are just working better
