Have you seen Food, Inc?

Have you seen Food, Inc? I'm not buying a supermarket turkey this year... our Thanksgiving bird came from a farm I've walked around on. I know its safe and much tastier too!

Einstein, Mascara and Chicken Wings

Bitches on a Budget — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:25:48 -0600

That mascara IS the best ever. Eyeliner is good--but it's not as 'special' as the mascara.

Hope that helps!

Wow, these are some great ways to make a little money and to help the needy. You point out some very interesting ideas and websites that allow us to connect with others who may have an addition harvest.

blinc is new holy grail!

Tried BLINC mascara after reading this post and LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. It's definitely a splurge, but never smears or rubs off or leaves circles. Not having to think about it after applying is worth the extra fifteen bucks. I'm wondering: Have you tried their eyeliner? I'm curious if it's as good.

Food, Sex, Dogs, Kids

Dunno if food is the new sex, haha but I *DO* know that dogs are the new kids.

Therefore, you don't have to bother having sex with your girlfriend so long as you buy her a dog that she can play with while you focus on what's important in life, such as working on your startup.

The Hunger

Osterizer — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:49:40 -0600

We talk about it all the time, there is a huge overlap in carnal hunger and stomach hunger. One time we had an amazing meal and all we wanted to do was continue to eat the pastry chef and other chef. I think of it more like foodies are sensuous people and one adds to the other rather than serves as a replacement. Maybe I am just hopeful that I will continue to have sex. I find it be the best way to finish off any meal, but I must admit, sometimes I just settle for dessert.

Here was an example of when our carnal hunger was stirred: http://uncouthgourmands.com/2009/04/14/how-bizarre-at-the-baazar/

You've gotta stop doing that!

...reading my mind, that is! Just last night I made dinner for my daughter and roommates, and as I chopped and diced and tasted and simmered, I was mulling the explicit sensuality in the act, even though there was no holy chance in hell of the kind of culmination I was dreaming about. I think it's the convergence of the senses that enhances the similarities and makes food such a natural substitution for seduction. And - at least there is fire and steam somewhere. :)

That's a great idea -- an economical gift that keeps giving too :) I've gotten small basil plants and other potted herbs as gifts too, and always loved receiving them :)

Extra herbs = holiday gifts

Kaleigh — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:33:51 -0600

Our herb garden is almost embarassingly prolific, so beyond sharing with my neighbors, I've started making various crafty items with them.

Excess rosemary and sage, as well as basil flowers and leaves (and bee balm, lemon balm, chamomile flowers, etc.) are drying for potpourri. They're also wired to grape vine wreaths and hanging in my kitchen. Excess cayenne and jalapeno peppers are drying in a sunny window, also to be attached to a wreath. I'll flavor olive oils and vinegars with various combinations of herbs, and am also trying my hand at soapmaking this year.

These crafts are very low-cost, but high impact. My brother-in-law loves to cook, so he'll get a culinary gift. My mother-in-law is looking forward to receiving a living wreath. I'm having some foreign students over this month for a potpourri-making party - I'll buy a few herbs that I wasn't able to grow, but most of our materials are my garden's excess.

Oh, if you need some rosemary, let me know. That darn bush is trying to take over the world.

There are some great ideas here. I attended a slow food feast last weekend that benefited a nearby school that teaches children about garden science. The meal was made entirely from locally grown and raised food.
