Wow! I'm so impressed! We have a container garden, too--the herbs are doing fine, but some kind of critter (or maybe a really, really rude neighbor) ate/took our ONE tomato. Yeah, there really was ...
Wow! Gotta say, I'm pretty jealous. We've tried our hands at container gardening, too--the herbs have taken off...but we live on the first floor, backing up to a greenbelt, and some critter ate our...
I must admit, I love our weekly delivery of local organic produce (even if it's via truck)...but this is one step more brilliant! Once our town becomes more bike-friendly, it might catch on. ...
My mom taught me a great trick: she buys buttermilk for cheesemaking and turning homemade aioli into delicious Ranch dressing. But instead of wasting what's leftover, she freezes it in icecubes, th...
I tend to have a hard time with eggplant, too--most recently the disaster was "eggplant parmesan." I use quotes because it most certainly did not come out tasting like the real deal. Even after car...
money is no object? i'd buy my community enough hydrogen fueling stations and cars to get around. and i'd get myself an organic farm/ranch and get back to basics. ah, what a dream!

Thanks for the comment! The Rhizome Collective tries to show urban dwellers that sustainability can happen even in an asphalt jungle! The house is like a cooperative, so...
i looooove le creuset but can never fork over the cash. taking a tip from my mother, i scour bargain stores like ross and tj maxx--and i have found a 9x9 baking dish for only $12.99. but i may just...
talk about a blast from the past! i remember the sock scrap potholders. my mom still uses the ones i made as a kid. now, our dog likes to steal socks--so we have plenty of leftovers and i'm thinkin...
this turned out amazing! I even ran out of regular flour and added a 1/3 c whole wheat...then I forgot the salt and added it halfway through, just on top...I added more yeast to make it a 4-hour ri...
we live in central texas...and it's topped 100 degrees for 11 out of the last 13 days. so, leaving the a/c off is not a safe option (especially with a pet inside all day). but our apartment complex...
we're ordering LOCAL, organic produce every week that's delivered. it's amazing. you don't know what you'll get, so it's like an adventure to come up with it. last night, it was a variation on the ...
here's another nod for olive oil: a coworker told me about it last week, and i tried it on (oddly enough) a fancy olive oil bottle. the label had already been loosened quite a bit from normal use, ...
tell me... has anyone ever had their homemade limoncello come out tasting like pine-sol? or did i possibly do something wrong (highly likely...as simple as this is...)?
my boyfriend and i were at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant when we saw a couple next to us "dressing up" their beers. as soon as we saw them splashing a cold cerveza with tabasco sauce, we asked if t...
I am SO glad to hear that there really are cocktails made with basil. To explain, I have to share an embarrassing story: my mom had never had a mojito before, so I took it upon myself to make her o...
yes--we have a Furminator for our black hound dog...and it works wonders (but there's always some left to shed on the furniture). thanks for the damp sponge and rubber glove tips—...
