Print this Poster 3: Eat Slowly

Another little reminder: eat slowly. This is particularly important around this time of the year, don't you think?. 

Some benefits of eating slowly? A lot has been written about it. According to Leo Babauta and his Zen Habits, eating slower can help you lose weight, reduce stress levels, improve your digestion and more. I love reading what this guy has to say.

I would place this poster on your fridge, your car, your office or the bedroom. Wherever you find yourself eating the most. And most of all: Enjoy your food!

Mushi in the backyard

 Hello dear mushroom lovers. I got to tell you about a recent fever I've been developing for the past year. It has to do with mushrooms. I had no idea about kinds, or names and properties, but I surely loved the flavors. Last year I started growing edible mushrooms at home, and that's where it all began...

I'll tell you more about that story another time, but today I just wanted to show you the mushrooms I've found all around the property where we live. It makes me feel so amazing to know that underneath the ground I step on, there's a whole net of mycelium that is way more diverse than I could imagine.

Here's just a handful of mushrooms I found. Please, help me identify the ones I haven't yet. My curiosity can no longer wait. I'll love you forever for that.

I  also love being a member of the Pacific Northwest Mushroom Identification and Information forum, since they've actually helped me identify some of the ones you'll see here.

Also check out the resources at the end of this post for further information on mushroom identification.

 These are a sort of Coral mushroom. Edible with laxative effects.

Oyster mushroom. Ate it for dinner (and dreamed about mushrooms all night).

Not sure what this one is called. Would you help me find out?
