FROM THE EDITOR
Editors. We’re known for our wild sides. Intentional sentence fragments, rhetorical schemes, maybe even a little fast-and-loose antimetabole? Or not…
Kidding aside, editors spend a lot of their days turning chaos into order. And that, be it riveting or not, takes heart. Wild heart. Something this month’s articles are all about.
Inspired by our Wild at Heart theme, we set off to the farmers’ market to talk to organic farmers and artisanal winemakers, beachcombers and musicians—even a bison rancher. We wrote articles about orchids, weighed in on the genetically modified food debate and defined what exactly it takes for an egg to earn the moniker “free-range.”
When we weren’t busy writing about food, we were in the kitchen preparing it. Wild rice salad with feta and grapefruit, cider-glazed salmon with rosemary, grilled pizza with wild mushrooms and arugula—all as easy to make as they are to devour.
So have a read, and get channeling your wild side. Like me, you too might find yourself regaling friends with stories of “Been near there! Almost done that!”
Ah, baby steps…
Happy reading!
