Ten days!

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

Is that the longest I’ve ever gone without a post? I think it may be.

Rice with stuff.

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

That’s becoming our kitchen’s standard I-don’t-feel-like-cooking-but-let’s-not-get-pizza meal: “rice with stuff.” It’s sort of a half-assed version of a donburi or a bibimbap — which are, as I said, a bowl of rice with stuff on top.

I know some of you — like me — are, well, grocery list fans.
Therefore, I would be remiss in my blogger duties if I did not introduce you to The Ultimatest Grocery List, available as a PDF on grocerylists.org.
I cringed a little at the slot for “bullion cubes,” (what am I, Richie Rich?) but […]

Life in Maison Greenzellig

Friday, September 7th, 2007

Well, with my poll showing 92% in favor of hearing more about what I do in my apartment to be a little more environmentally friendly, let’s get to it.
Rather than try to cover everything at once, I’ll break it down into one or two subject areas per post. This time around, I’ll cover energy use.
