What kind of HOMEGROWN are you?: Earth Mama, Dirt Under My Fingernails City Slicker

A bit about me:: I currently co-own a local clothing boutique here in Memphis. I am working on building a nonprofit organization with my friend Jayne called Garden Grit that teaches communities to GROW-COOK-SHARE their food. I eat local and shop local. My husband and I are food and labor activists who believe the people can rise above poverty and crime through farming and cooking. I also started a locavore culinary club that meets once a month. So far I have 7 couples involved.

Latest greatest meal cooked at home:: Well.... my own creation, Clementine's Smokey Mountain Pimiento Cheese, is always in high demand. But, just last night I used the skillet to fire up some red, yellow, and orange peppers with white onion and portabellas flavored with some herbs and sea salt. I placed all that on top of some angel hair with a creamy vodka sauce. The left over peppers and portabellas will be used today to make a sandwich on ciabatta bread with goat cheese and pesto :)

Please consider sharing more about your nonprofit and your supper club in member blogs. The supper club sounds like something that folks here could be inspired by - they might just start their own!
So glad you found the site - enjoy!
