The goal to reduce salt is based on faulty and outdated science: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/03/opinion/sunday/we-only-think-we-know-the-truth-about-salt.html. Let me have my salty, fatty cheese!

$50!? They'd make a cute stocking stuffer if they were $5, but I certainly wouldn't spend more than that on such an unnecessary frivolity.

What an odd reference to celiac's disease... There are plenty of gluten-free bread—and toast—options out there.

I don't think there is anything trite and tiresome about this creative project. In fact, it could inspire all sorts of similarly made art. Spray-paint your junk, hang it in a frame-->art! (No sarcasm intended. :)) Love the color combo of this too.

Canned salmon has become a staple in my household. I find that the brand makes a huge difference in taste. Our favorite is Whole Foods brand Red Sockeye Salmon (with bones and skin--they are totally edible and contain lots of calcium!). I try not to shop at Whole Foods anymore, but it's the one thing I will go there specifically to buy.

I've been in the market for a compost bucket, but I just can justify spending so much money. They cost more than my actual compost bin!

Before taking offense to the term "lactard," consider familiarizing yourself with the etymology of the suffix -ard. There are many words that contain this suffix besides "retard," and it seems perfectly appropriate to apply it in this sense. http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=19970107

I've been meaning to plant some lavender, so this is very helpful—thank you! I find that gardening involves much learning from mistakes. :)

I totally agree with vanessa.vichitvadakan about silicone tips. I have yet to find something that they are good at gripping. I mean, think about it, the idea is that nothing will stick to silicone, so that means anything you try to pick up with them you will likely drop. Ugh. Sorry, lots of frustration with those things.

Ew, kitty, no!!!
