First things first, a title for my new literary adventure. "unpasteurized" seems to fit. I was thinking that 'raw milk' was a good name as well, but then I thought that this blog would be of interest only to milk farmers and quota owners. I wanted to find a name that will help guide the viewpoint of this space. My viewpoint. I hope to come out hear in cyber land and tell unknown people, what its like to live, love, cook, and generally exist in the Niagara Region. I will present my viewpoint in a 'raw' or unpasteurized way. No quarter given (and none expected). Another reason that I think this name is apropos is that I love bacteria. I love what it does to milk (cheese), grapes (wine) and flour (bread). Love is not really the word that I wanted to use, more like a sincere respect . When some thing is 'unpasteurized, it is left alone. it is not tampered with. it does not go through an institutional (0r otherwise) process of 'cleansing'. I like to think my life is unpasteurized. Maybe yours is as well. Maybe it should be. Throw away the rose coloured glasses and lets face the music. Hell, why not dance to the music. If there is anything I have learned from this crazy life is to love the music. But hey, thats enough. My pasta water is boiling, so need to feed the masses. later...tony
hey Tony, its Tony, yourself writting. I read your blog and you know it kinda sucks. I mean, it rambles on. you should write more interesting stuff, you know? Why don't you tell them about your funny looking brother? or the crazy people you work with..anyway just a thought...
ReplyDeleteHey Tony, it's Kath. I read your blog and you know, it is kind of great. I've been blogging for a couple of years now and never had a negative comment and look at you, you've got your first one already from that guy up there. If you need photos of wine, bread, milk or anything else from the 'hood let me know and maybe we can work something out, like a photo credit and a free lunch!

Hi Tony! I think you've got a gift. You're able to write like you talk. It makes the reader feel like you're in the room or on the phone with you. My favourite artists, letters from friends, emails, FB, etc are when ordinary acts or random thoughts are expressed in a way that make things real. I'd like to hear about your travelling experiences as you were learning your trade (like Tony Bourdain, perhaps?!?).
