1. Awesome potter/ceramic artist Toni Losey was featured in this past episode of Argyle Fine Art's Studio Saturdays - Toni has a show coming up in July at the same time as the awesome painter Gordon MacDonald, should be a lot of awesome!
2. Powdered Magnesium Citrate. According to this article I saw on Facebook a lot of people have magnesium deficiencies, due to crappy food, stress, sugar, and poor soil quality from intensive agriculture. Hmm. I seemed to have a lot of the symptoms including sleep issues, eye twitching (embarrassing) and tendonitis!!! I asked what was popular at The Healthy Bug and picked up some unflavoured Natural Calm Magnesium Citrate Powder. Success, I think. Hard to know if it was the supplement or the placebo effect that made me feel better but it makes a lot of sense from a biology point of view. Even the tendonitis seems pretty much gone despite all the carving I've been doing (potters, take heed).
3. Our new ice cream maker! Speaking of crappy food it seems that store bought ice cream these days has way too many chemically intense ingredients and tastes a bit like sweet plastic. So after doing a bunch of research we picked the Cuisinart Pure Indulgence 2 Quart Frozen Yogurt/Ice Cream and Sorbet Maker, which gets rave reviews and happens to be on sale at Home Hardware until May 30th. It's great, and lets a person choose all natural ingredients like local raw honey, goat milk and organic cream. The first batch was really good (vanilla with a custard base) but I'm looking forward to finding and trying some vegan recipes with coconut cream or fruit sorbets. We have a freezer but the only downside I've read about this thing is the bucket takes up a bit of freezer space if a person only has a fridge freezer.
