Thank you for this! I made it tonight, adding turkey chorizo (mmm) and a splash of white wine, but skipping the star anise. Also, we used fire-roasted diced tomatoes and just ate it as a soup with ...

Dude. I made this tonight and while it was fairly tasty, the proportions in the recipe make about five times as much dressing as you want. Be warned, before you dump the vegetables into the dressin...

Good smells from the kitchen and a clean, simple living space that always makes me feel calm.

I've been looking for a warm, pretty throw for our futon, but $125 is more than twice what I was hoping to spend on it. Does anyone have any recommendations for a less expensive option?

Oh for heaven's sake, how marvelous. :-)

I'm a big fan of the "unscented" Toms of Maine deodorant stick (which actually smells deliciously faintly of lemongrass). I've had one for nigh on a YEAR now and though I use it every day, it's onl...

Two things: Staples has a nationwide recycling program for electronic waste, and the USPS is piloting a program that provi...

My ridiculously heavy Dell Inspiron. Boy, do I miss my little Powerbook.

If only it really had a little white bird hovering above it all the time. ;-)

Mmm. Soft comfy movie watching goodness.

Strawberries and kale. Mm -- strawberry-kale smoothie? ;-)

I love my old clunker, but we could definitely use a new vacuum cleaner.

Oh, our bedroom. I've been wanting to be able to read by the window in the summertime.

I need more room for herbs! I was growing basil and cilantro in the same pot, but they both want to get a lot fuller than they can while they're sharing space. Please give my herbs more room. :-)

Oh, strawberry, strawberry, strawberry--with so much vanilla ice-cream you can't see the pie.

A chickpea salad with bulgur, cherry tomatoes, red onion, a generous grating of Parmesan, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper is chilling in the fridge. I can't wait.

We're about to celebrate the purchase of a cast-iron griddle with some pancakes. We could really use some more ideas about what to add to our kitchen arsenal. :-)

Definitely the Horizon 11 design.

Free green cleaning products, yay! :-) About three or four months ago I decided to start making one hundred little changes in my life that would make it more socially and environmenta...
