Spreading manure is a great way of bringing yourself down to earth.
I'm a humble guy, I'm pretty down to earth.
There's nothing cutting edge about what I'm trying to do. I'm not creating a new sound. I'm not like Bjork, who's an alien from another world. I'm of the earth. You could extract any measure of music out of anything I've ever done and you could find its affiliations in music history.
I like a man who smells manly. I love the smell of nature.
You soak up my soul and mingle me. Each drop of my blood cries out to the earth. We are partners, blended as one.
I feel like a wet seed wild in the hot blind earth.
The West is color. Its colors are animal rather than vegetable, the colors of earth and sunlight and ripeness.
It was deliciously pagan.
Dried porcini add a substantial, deep flavour to otherwise more neutral vegetables. I use them in risottos, mashed roots and winter soups.
Real relationship is gritty and earthy, the stuff that life is made of.
I'm going for something very raw and organic.
Leeks are normally given the job of flavouring other things, such as stocks and soups, but I find their creaminess and sweet, oniony flavour very satisfying.
My family is delighted every time I cook maitake. Our taste buds awaken in anticipation of its rich, deep and nuanced flavors.
Putting your hands in the earth is very grounding, if you'll excuse the pun.
I guess gritty is the word that you said. But it has a different tone. We're not flying around in different universes - it's a bit more earthy.
I'm part wood nymph. I require mountains and warm, dense patches of moss to thrive.
I'm one of those girls that cries at the drop of a hat. I'm oversensitive, if anything. I'm a mom. I'm very earthy, crunchy granola. I compost.
I'm a dirt person. I trust the dirt. I don't trust diamonds and gold.
I love finding things. I love digging around in the dirt. It's part of my Virgo. It's like acting, really. You're always searching around for something and finding little hidden treasures.
No matter what happens, I'm loud, noisy, earthy and ready for much more living.
