Salsa--a great recipe right from Mexico!

Yeah, we've always made these with tube socks and rice. They aren't as pretty, but I surround myself with them when I go to bed, turn off the heat, and really save on the electric bills.

Me, too!

Pick me pick me!

Ok. I have to comment again. I live in the smallest town on earth (or at least in Idaho) and I have a very, very low income (officially below the poverty line), yet somehow I manage to avoid walmart pretty blasted well. Once in a great while I go there to get things they don't have anywhere else and I need immediately (a set of dominoes most recently), but usually I go to the local (yes, locally owned and operated--a chain consisting of about five stores in the area towns) grocery store for my food (they give their leftover bakery items to my housing project, so I shop there). In the summer I go to the farmers' market or eat from my nearby family's garden. I get furniture/clothing/etc from thrift/secondhand/consignment shops or online. I even get nonperishable grocery items online. I don't understand how anyone can say they "can't help" but shop at Walmart. Come on, you are a living, acting human being. You have free will. You shop where you want to shop.

That is beautiful. I have a very small, comparitively plan Navajo rug that was my grandmother's and this is giving me great ideas.

I really love the mirror in the last photo. Any hints on where I could get a similar?

Would they let my niece or nephew draw the pic?

Eeewwww. I want my home to be a PLEASANT place.

Also with the eggs, we often plant seedlings in eggshells to prep for planting in the ground. You have to break the egg nearer the top so you get a good-sized cup. When it's time to plant the plant in the ground, just break the shell off.
