Normally, at this time we’re already harvesting some early lettuce, spinach and Spring onions for a nice salad. Not this year, the wind kept blowing […]

Pita Chips and Hummus are very close to the top of our snacking list. I’ve even been known to make an entire meal of them. But more often than not it was a last minute thought, as we browsed the grocery store aisles. That changed recently as I’ve become quite the connoisseur and collector of

I remind myself daily that life’s not a race, it’s a journey. A creative quest, meant to be experienced and mastered; not completed as quickly as possible. In other words – Slow Down. The path that leads to your Destiny is a challenging, circuitous route, rife with risks and rewards. It’s a “Hero’s Journey” that

“A first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate painting.” — Abraham Maslow Maslow wrote “A Theory of Human Motivation.” An interesting, important and classic, psychological theory that examines the hierarchy of human need. The paper is so important, we keep a copy readily available here at 3mph. Food is at the top of the physiological
