Daryl Hannah is totally cool!

really -- I had no idea. i was checking out AmandaAcrossAmerica, which led me to hannah's site, dhlovelife.com. learned about the very cool Southcentral Farmers, who until recently cultivated 350 community farms in what was formerly nothing more than a South-Central LA wasteland (and, which is, sadly, on the way to becoming one again).

check out d's video-blog on mushroom expert, paul stamets. (did you know that common button mushrooms -- those plain, white "snow" mushrooms you can find in any grocery store -- as well as trendy portabellas, contain the same dangerous carcinogens as those produced when you smoke cigarettes??!! stick with the shitakes!)
