I was so proud of my country, but now finding out that this is post is wrong I am sad and disappointed.

One day both of our countries will be BPA free. The people just need to show our country what we want by not buying canned goods containing BPA and making a big stink.

We need to become more concerned with what we consume.

I am trying to deal with all the zucchini that my garden has been producing over the last couple of weeks.
So far this weekend I have made a delicious chocolate zucchini sheet cake with peanut butter frosting and Zucchini fritters with creole sauce for dipping.
Tonight I am making Italian Sausage Soup with Tortellini. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Italian-Sausage-Soup-with-Tortellini/Detail.aspx
I am frezzing most of the zucchini this afternoon as I could never eat enough to keep up with the amount that's growing, even if I ate zucchini for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I am also making some beer bread right now with a can of leftover Czech beer from last night.
It's been a good cooking weekend even though the temp has been over 30C.all weekend.

I agree with YoJess.

How to deal with noisy neighbours? Get used to it. That's the trade off of living in the city. I live in a very noisy neighbourhood and I dont notice it anymore. If it's really loud I close my windows. It's not worth the time, or emotional stress to worry about it. Instead go outside and make some noise yourself. Life is to short, go out and enjoy it.

In regards to the smoking comment. As a non-smoker I would rather have people smoking outside, than in there apartment where it wafts throughout the building and makes my apartment smell. Close your window if it's coming in from outside and bothering you. Jeez, sometimes I feel bad for smokers they just can win with people telling them don't smoke inside and now people complaining don't smoke outside.

I went to the farmers market this morning and bought some locally caught pickerel cheeks and some locally grown stewing beef. Tonight I am making pan fried pickerel cheeks and risotto primavera. Tomorrow I am going to try this Beef Goulash with Dumpling recipe.

Hi rosebud, carrot risotto is really good. Here is a link for a recipe that is great especially if you need to go grocery shopping and there is not much to eat in your fridge.

I actually bought 5 of these bottles during a trip to Minneapolis in the summer of 2007 from the Ikea beside Mall of America. They are great if you want to bring anything liquid to work because they never leak.
