The invisible hand of the market always moves faster and better than the heavy hand of government.

I cook. I go to farmers markets in London and cook really good sort of organic foods.

Many young and beginning farmers start out in local markets. Some stay there, and some scale up.
~ Tom Vilsack
Is there anything sadder than the foods of the 1950s? Canned, frozen, packaged concoctions, served up by the plateful, three meals per day, in an era in which the supermarket was king, the farmer's market was, well, for farmers, and the word 'locavore' sounded vaguely like a mythical beast.
~ Jeffrey Kluger

637_Fasting
Today's topic is Fasting.
The philosophy of fasting calls upon us to know ourselves, to master ourselves, and to discipline ourselves the better to free ourselves. To fast is to identify our dependencies, and free ourselves from them.
~ Tariq Ramadan
We must master our egoism, and through this mastery, step outside ourselves and educate ourselves in giving. Fasting requires that we rediscover all that is alive around us, and reconcile ourselves with our environment.
~ Tariq Ramadan
It's clearly more important to treat one's fellow man well than to be always praying and fasting and touching one's head to a prayer mat.
~ Naguib Mahfouz
Fasting is, first and foremost, an exercise for identifying and managing adversity in all its forms. With faith, in full conscience, fasting calls women and men to an extra degree of self-awareness.
~ Tariq Ramadan
I was obsessed with the idea of fasting and isolation.
~ David Blaine

Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.

I live on good soup, not on fine words.

~ Dylan Moran
Grilled cheese and tomato soup is the ultimate comfort meal.
~ Ina Garten
A first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate painting.
~ Abraham Maslow
I feed on good soup, not beautiful language.
~ Moliere
Let me be the first to tell you, drinking alcohol is the worst thing to do in cold weather. Hot soup is the best because the process of digesting food helps to warm you up.

Today's topic is Meal.
You can't fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal.
~ William S. Burroughs
I don't stop eating when I'm full. The meal isn't over when I'm full. It's over when I hate myself.
~ Louis C. K.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
~ Melody Beattie
The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.
~ Calvin Trillin
Chocolate is not cheating! After a salty meal, you need a little bit of sweet. This is living, not cheating.
~ Ali Landry
Quantity in food is more to be regarded than quality. A full meal is a great enemy both to study and industry.
~ Samuel Richardson
Breakfast is my specialty. I admit it's the easiest meal to cook, but I make everything with a twist, like lemon ricotta pancakes or bacon that's baked instead of fried.
~ Hugh Jackman
When you travel so many weeks a year, it's always nice to have a home-cooked meal.
~ Maria Sharapova
I'm the type of person who, if somebody offers me a free meal, I get excited because you never know where your next free meal is going to come from.
~ Paloma Faith
I think breakfast is the one meal when you don't have to eat animal, maybe.
~ Lena Dunham

My wife and I have a tradition of popcorn and videos with our kids on Friday evenings.

It was really strange to see all these apes standing around eating popcorn, smoking, wearing sunglasses.

Diggin it
Lots of red soil used for gardening here.
This is the only action in this quiet laidback pace of life.
Action
Happy Coincidence. I had the reference picture for this sketch, from the Chennai Weekend Artists posts on Pencil Jammers site, on my machine and on my thoughts for a long time. Today I drew. I then saw Chumma Draw's subject for the day! I had not thought of scanning it at all but...
I got into action

An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.

Action is the foundational key to all success.

Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.

Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.

What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
