John M. is a dairy farmer who lives in Scotland. He says:

Great podcast ! Love Misty’s accent.I listen to your show on my iPod while
milking 180 holsteins.

I live on a farm in Ayrshire Scotland.

He sends me some really amazing pictures of animals, his farm, and fairs he goes to. I made a place in our photo gallery to upload these pictures. Enjoy!

Any bets on whether this episode gets published correctly?

Misty goes solo while Andrew is at Podcasters Across Borders.

Topics discussed include:

  • Misty’s work project – finished
  • PodProducer software
  • Subversion version-tracking system
  • The garden
  • Complaining about doing chores all by herself
  • Sweater update
  • Spinning really fine wool
  • Podcast of the week: Burning 20

Also I promised a simple recipe for Swiss chard, so here goes:

Swiss Chard Saute
1 bunch Swiss chard, washed
half an onion, diced
1/4 cup white wine
2 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil

Separate the leaves and stalks of the Swiss chard. This includes the part of the stalk that goes up into the leaf.

Slice the stalks like you would slice celery. Saute the onions in the oil until transparent, and then add the stalks. Saute until soft.

Add the leaves all at once, pouring the wine and vinegar over them and very quickly putting a lid on the pan. Turn your heat down to low and steam the leaves until good and wilted. Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

John from the RadioZoom wrote a really cool review of the podcast. It sums things up better than I ever could have. He’s basically hit the nail on the head. So if you’re a new listener and want some insights you might have missed, visit his page. Also make sure to listen to his podcast! He plays great music and his talks about Vancouver (even if he doesn’t like the Oilers) make me miss being north of the 49th.
