It’s a gray but cozy day here in Cville. A perfect morning for fall treats: hot oats and hot coffee!
A little Ramen bowl action
Today’s oat mix featured:
- 1/3 cup oats, milk, water (plus more water)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 date, chopped
- [Missing banana 🙁 ]
- A mystery peanut butter to be debuted this week!!!
- Galaxy Granola Maple Quinoa flavor that arrived on my doorstep just as I was about to make some homemade granola. Thanks Galaxy!
Coffee from the Brew Ridge festival – it’s amazing!
NEW to my HOUSE and my SHOP!!
Perhaps my FAV decorating item ever to don the OpenSky steps – Victory Garden posters!
The KERF Kitchen loves them 🙂
These posters are designed by Joe in Brooklyn, NY as part of his art campaign called “Victory Garden of Tomorrow.” The campaign encourages local food gardens, less waste, more DIY, bike riding, and even encouraging chicken raising at home. I absolutely love the design, but even more, the messages.
Plus I found this other one that I think I’m going to order myself for another space – my favorite yet!
Get Them Here:
I redesigned The KERF Shop page too!
Enjoy your day!!
And Eat Local Greens!!
Meg says
Mystery peanut butter?!?! What! I want some.
Those posters are SO neat! 🙂 Have a great day – it’s cloudy here as well 🙁 hopefully the sun will decide to come back soon.

Heather (Heather's Dish) says
such awesome posters! today is cold and rainy here…i so wish i’d taken the time to do hot oats!
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
The posters are really cool. I love the Eat Local Greens one. I love going to our local produce stand and buying the local greens. They haven’t traveled very far so they are way fresher than the stuff in the grocery store.
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
It does feel like Fall today! I didn’t even think about it until you wrote that – but hot coffee and oats is perfect for today!
Heather says
thoe posters are so cute!
wish it felt like fall down here in MS!

Marina says
I love the posters, and the messages. They really look good with that wall color.
Still missing bananas? 🙁
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
It’s cool and crisp here today too (I think everywhere!!). I’m hoping to get in a non-soaked-in-sweat run soon. The posters look awesome–like old school magazine ads or something.

Samantha @ Bikini Birthday says
Great posters
nicole @ yuppie yogini says
Don’t know if I’m excited about the mystery PB or not….that last thing I need is another nut butter to eat from the jar 😉
Jenn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
I’m sad that I haven’t gone to any local farmer’s markets this year. 🙁 Our closest one is 20 miles away, though and only open on Friday afternoons. Kind of frustrating how they regulate them!
Jenn
Camille says

Can’t wait to see this mystery nut butter.
Stacy @ The Girl with the Pug Tattoo says
Love the posters and your decorating style! When I redecorate my house I’m planning to go with a KERF inspired theme throughout.
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
I can’t wait for the new nut butter…you always find the best ones!! I’m obsessed with how organized your house is too. My parents’ house is anything but, and I’ve always vowed that when I live alone everything will have it’s place!
Holly @ couchpotatoathlete says
Those posters are so cute Kath!
I can’t wait for the mystery nut butter…what could it be? OoOoOooooooo! (that would be the noise a ghost would make, in case you couldn’t tell!)

Cool posters… they look great in the KERF kitchen 🙂
Chelsea (Chelsea's Chew and Run Fun) says
I love the vinatage aesthetic of those posters! They really blend well with the color scheme you have going in your kitchen.
Also, maple quinoa granola? I.want.it.now.
Louise says
I want to send the recycling one to my daughter. She is having trouble getting her roommates to recycle. How do I order that one? Thanks.
Kath says
It wasn’t available this morning, but I am getting it for you!
Sabina says
Great posters, Kath! Thanks for sharing them.
If you can, I recommend get them framed/mounted… mounting posters on plaque-board (wood) or getting them framed gives them a nice finish and a less college-dorm-like feel. Just a friendly suggestion! 🙂
Kath says
If I had more moolah, I totally would!
Chelsea @ Strawberry Sweat says
Great posters! They remind me of posters you would have seen in the ’40s.
Looking forward to seeing what that mystery peanut butter is!
Megan (Braise The Roof) says
Cool posters! I love retro designs, they make a great statement. 🙂
I’m not ready for fall yet! Fall just means winter is around the corner and Chicago winter are bruuutal.
Amanda (Two Boos Who Eat) says
I love the posters. Those are great, especially the organic farm one! 🙂
Chelsea says
I really like those posters! They suit you and Matt perfectly and look great in your kitchen!
Oats look awesome as well, as usual!! No change there!
Have a great day.
Chelsea
lisasfoods says
So glad to see the local and organic food movements thriving so much. It’s come a long way…I remember when people thought it was strange in 2000 when I spent a summer working on an organic farm, and now it’s much more mainstream. Great posters!
wishful nals says
great posters with a great message!
T says
Have you read this already: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/20/opinion/20budiansky.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=local%20miles&st=cse ?
I still get my meat and cheese and veg from local farmers, but that guy has some eye opening points.
Jaya says
I caught this article a while back and think that this is a super hot/super interesting debate right now and (my own views aside) I am glad to see that the organic/local food movements are sites of lively debate. There is a lot of very high quality produce that is neither certified organic, nor local, but there are good and justifiable reasons for participating in any one of those markets. Maybe it really comes down to prioritizing your ethics…
Thank you for posting the link for everyone!
Christena says
I agree! I read that article yesterday. Very, very interesting.
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Oooh I like the posters. That’s a great way to spruce up your kitchen and a very good message as well! 🙂 It’s a very gray day here too…summer can’t be done yet!!
R @ Learning As I Chop says

Sarah @ Sarah's Shaping Up says

Katie @ peacebeme says
I like the eat local greens poster. 🙂
What are your plans for the fall, just curious, as far as working-wise…just planning to build your blog business?
Kath says
I’m a full time blogger + writer now. But I’ll also be helping get this bakery open, and that’s going to take up a lot of my time, especially when it actually opens and I’ll be working there as well.
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
Love the posters! The ‘local greens’ one is too cute (and true! 😀 )
I’m loving the fall temperatures lately. It’s so nice to be craving hot oats again. 😀
Sarah says
Hello! I just noticed the new “K” in the web bar! I really like it, have no idea how you did it, but great job…
So, about this mystery butter, I hate mysteries but I like a challenge… wondering what I was, I stumbled across what I immediately thought you should know about if you do not know already!!
http://www.yopeanut.com/ Saratoga Peanut Butter Co. Check out the Adirondack Jack and Monkey Boy! I just placed an order!!
Have you ever heard of this brand?
Kath says
I have never seen that brand – but it sure looks tasty!!
Faith @ lovelyascharged says
Oh I love those posters! Such a cute vintage-y vibe 🙂
DebZ says
i JUST found this same artist and have been agonizing over which two to buy (and trying to convince myself i really need three or four).
Sarah (OC2Seattle) says
Those posters are fabulous, but I don’t think they’re going to get me to start raising chickens 😉 I will, however, EAT LOCAL GREENS!
Christine says
Hi! I like the new touches you are putting on the blog. I just read your “about me” and I have to ask, how long have you and your husband been together?
Kath says
We met 10 years ago during college orientation, but we didn’t start dating until second semester freshman year. We’ve been married for 3 years 🙂
Christine says
That is a great story!! I thought you both looked young in a few of those pictures 🙂
Shannon, Tropical Eats says
your new header is 100% perfect and beautiful… love the changes! it’s still so fresh and KERFy!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Your oats sound amazing, as usual. And the posters are awesome!
Andrea says
I love the posters Kath. Great messages indeed!

Posters come from Portland! Gotta represent!

LOVE the posters!! They are so cute and chic 🙂 And that green bowl is cute too! Everything is cute, lol
melissa says
ohhh, was it one of the pbs from the open sky tasting? ;0
Kath says
Yup!
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] says
Oh, I loveee the posters. I don’t know how well they’d go over with roommates, so I may have to post them in my bedroom… off to the KERF shop I go!
Love my greens =]
Penny says
Posters are super awesome. We are going to be moving soon, abd I think I will need those for the new place……
I am so spoiled about banana in my oatmeal. If I don’t have bananas (which is VERY rare), I don’t even bother with making oats.
JDM says
Kath,
Speaking of bowls, I just ordered the two Buddah Bowls and am looking forward to receiving them in a couple of weeks. However, I was wondering if the KERF bowls are available any where or will they ever be available again? Love the look of them! Thanks!
Kath says
They are still available here:
http://www.cafepress.com/KathEats
But no one has bought anything from that shop in decades except for me 🙂
JDM says
Thanks! I found it and bought one!
Jessica@tastyandtrim says
Love the posters! Such a fun way to spice up any kitchen decor 🙂
Ilana says
The blog is looking really great and fresh, Kath. What a welcoming kitchen you have. I just wanted to say I had an extra kerfy day yesterday– First, I had chia seeds oats they were so awesome– really “fluffy” as you said! Then I made a tempeh stir fry which you inspired. 🙂
I never had maple quinoa galaxy granola, but I love the vanilla and quinoa so sounds great to me.
Happy Tuesday.
janna @ janna's keeping it real says

muy importante to support local, but also reap the health benefits!
Amy says
I love those posters. I feel like I’ve seen them somewhere before…
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
These past few chilly days have been so perfect for hot oats!
I love those posters. Since starting “Omnivore’s Dilemma”, I’ve been trying so hard to buy local!
BroccoliHut says
Love those posters–they’re all over the hallways and classrooms of the nutrition building. They make for good distractions during class:)
Christine says
what happened to my comment??!!!! =(
Kath says
Which one!? There’s one above – about how long we’ve been together?

I love, love, love those posters! I will definitely be ordering some!

That oatmeal bowls of yours reminds me a little of the Leaning Tower of Pisa 😀 But in a yummier way!
