New potatoes and white (!) asparagus. Don't care for the green stuff, but white asparagus truly is the king of veg.

Ricotta? Pre-cooking the noodles? No bechamel? Pre-grated mozzarella? Sorry, but I have a hard time taking this recipe seriously.

Wait a minute. MAKE it into homes?! I think I haven't seen a toilet that is not equipped with this for... probably years now.

Get a grip. You are concerned about how your coffee is being processed?! You really think that makes a difference? Insulate your house, get a new heating system, walk or take the bicycle for your way to work, don't buy a new car every other year, try generally to be less wasteful. These are the things that matter. If you are really concerned about water, get a modern toilet that uses less water or/and cut off a minute or two on your daily shower(s). Agreed, this is less glamorous then buying something with an organic label, but it actually might change something. Water consumption of private households in the US is about three times that of other western countries.

@eaevansmd: You can't or better should'nt eat unpeeled white asparagus. The skin is stringy and unpleasant. So you have to peel it, where a dedicated peeler comes handy. So it is a bit more work then the green variety, but the result is - in my mind - just far better.

Please, remember what pallets are designed for - they have to withstand water, wind and weather and are therefore soaked in all kinds of nasty chemicals. Therefore: use pallets only for outdoor use - and try to paint them, this coating might keep the pesticides/herbicides in. Never use them indoors!

I fail to see what is new or newsworthy about this cucumber-machine. How else would you want to pick a cucumber? We have many cucumber fields where I live, in late summer these trailers are a regular sight.

For pepper mills that not only look good but also work well, I recommend Zassenhaus from Germany. They are great and work - at least in my opinion - way better then Peugeots.
