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 dressing instead of the other way round (clearly, silly of me, but still) and wind up with soup.

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?

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 only just coming close to being done.

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

Mmm. Soft comfy movie watching goodness.

Strawberries and kale.

Mm -- strawberry-kale smoothie? ;-)

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

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

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. :-)

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 environmentally responsible. So far, among many other things, I've

--switched to washing dishes in a tub of water instead of leaving the tap on
-- stopped turning the bathroom light on at all during the day, even if it's a bit gray
-- stopped preheating the oven
-- begun running the washer on cold
-- started saving all kinds of little packaging materials for re-use; I put a lime in a bag that had come with our picture-hanging nails, instead of covering it in cling wrap
-- used this company to offset the carbon from my travels

...and a bunch of other rather boring things that I'm nevertheless very proud of. Now I just need to work up the courage to talk to the person down the street whose sprinkler seems to have been running 24 hours a day for the past week. Grrr!
