Hello from Philly! I got up early to face the unpleasant experience of flying cross country. I stuffed myself full of as much amaranth, quinoa, and millet as I could eat around 6am, hoping it would keep me full until me flight arrived in Philly nine hours later. Fat chance.

If you've read my book, you know that I'm a fan of the food at the Minneapolis airport, which is as close to sustainable and healthy as airport cuisine gets. I was worried that my 45 minute layover would not be enough to grab a bite, but fortunately I flew in and out of gates right next to French Meadow Bakery Cafe. I thought my $8 sandwich of whole grain bread with tomatoes and roasted red peppers was an enormous rip off, but I was grateful for it all the same. Ditto on the organic, fair trade coffee.

I'll be in Philly until Friday morning, when I leave for Lancaster. Here's the schedule for the next several days:

Thursday, August 6 - Philadelphia
Big Blue Marble Bookstore at 7pm
