The real goodness of man can occur only with absolute cleanliness and freedom in relation to who does not represent any force. The true test of the morality of humanity, the deepest (located at such a depth that is beyond our perception), is in its relationship with those who are at its mercy: animals.
This quote from The Unbearable Lightness of Being , Milan Kundera, has spent years on the board the porch of the hostel Amayuelas . And every time I reread it tells me something new about "my" cat, factory farming, which is ... also reminds me of a friend, Cipri.
came a couple years ago the city to meet and discuss projects Cipri and organic farming. With them they brought Negu, a German shepherd picked up in a kennel and had received many sticks in life. It was a wary animal with people and never left untouched by unknown until after many days of warm welcome. We found
shepherding a dozen Cipri cows in summer stubble of his people, with a piece of plastic pipe as a rod.
Greetings from afar. Negu cheerful trotting ahead and was the first to arrive. Slowly came to leave his head under the hand of Cipri, stroked it as we greeted.
visitors could not believe what they saw. What did you get the dog that being kind to be touched, even to find the contact of your hand?
That same big hand is one that has picked peaches this past week.
The truth is that this good friend, timid, explosive laughter with tears, has a gift for the animals and the garden. Born and raised in a modest home at the foot of the Tesla saw, traveled from his hoe and the block of all life to a surprisingly open consciousness. I met him when I came to Las Merindades fifteen years ago. Recoating then he and I had just harvested 800 kilos of green beans without knowing how we were going to sell. Bilbao crossing walk through shops and restaurants each with a bean bag attached to shoulder a lot. The sale was disastrous. Passionate
biodynamic agriculture, which goes beyond the "green" Cipri usually occurs unexpectedly, always with a gift: cherries, plums, apples ...
phoned me a few days ago: "I have a rich peach, Iñigo. Are you interested for your boxes? "Come, let's probarlos.Son who have received this week. And I think the next will put some more.
The peach trees planted them a few years ago Mijangos, in a land of rubble, which is good for this tree, because it drains easily, near the river Nela. - What variety are they? - In a native ... The plants they sold me some retirees who had a Viverito in Tamayo, near Ona, rootstock are (ie, bone, peach seed) grafted with the variety of the area. There
peach plantations environmental professionals in Navarre in Murcia, Extremadura ... large farms that pack tons of fruit from certified organic cultivation. Received some of this in the boxes of June. It was something else.
After several years without bearing fruit soon, this time the branches were so laden that Cipri had to shore. Has agreed that the flower did not freeze in March and the summer has been ideal for this fruit: dry and sunny (although the roots generous irrigation demand). So I do participate. If you are a little hard wait a few days to finish ripening at home.
This time the box also has a sprig of mint, if you have tendencies Caribbean may serve a mojito and if African para un té moruno. O bien como condimento. Intentaremos que os llegue una ramilla de tiempo en tiempo.
Hemos empezado a sacar y a repartiros nuestras primeras patatas de la temporada. Éstas son de la variedad Spunta.
Un socio me dijo que ya no sabía qué hacer con la berenjena, que la cocía, porque frita chupa mucho aceite. ¿Cocida?!! A otros socios interesados por la macrobiótica les parece demasiado “yin”. De acuerdo, es una hortaliza yin. Creo que la mejor y más simple solución para ambos es el horno (como decía la canción “…ya la mete en el forno”), cortada en mitades o rebanadas gordas, con un poco de aceite y sal. El horno “yanguiza”, or removes a bit of character "yin." It is not oily and is delicious with rice, meat, pasta with various stews with bread. When in doubt, go back to the simple.
has finally rained and washed the area. Summer laden air has cooled, and the green glow. The town has been empty of holidaymakers ... we are the few times. Katharina and Johannes
just back from Germany and only is Kate, an Australian volunteer. Yesterday, at times it was not raining and the sun peeked were hand in hand picking the first pumpkins hundreds of shades of orange filling the trailer. I came to the humming that song from the Andalusian EA!
Let it rain, rain
Lady of the cave
... yes, no,
to fall a shower, which grows hiebagüena
... and in your heart.
FaFaFa, papaparara ... ...
Water it Take it and sow them, and grow.
