Save the bees
Friday, April 4th, 2008Perhaps you remember from last year how borderline-obsessed I am with declining honeybee populations.

Like […]
There better be a front-runner for the nominee soon…

Friday, January 11th, 2008City Council Passes Bill for Recycling of Plastic Bags
Do you know many NYC stores currently offer plastic bag recycling?
ONE: Whole Foods. And some D’Agostino’s (but not all) — not that there are any in my neighborhood. Not even the Greenmarket currently offers bag recycling (but they will soon, according to an email I just […]
Using the whole turkey.
Wednesday, December 5th, 2007I try to keep a list of things I want to blog about. Sometimes they’re specific (”crazy chips from Big Lots”) and sometimes they’re more vague. Case in point, I’ve had “using the whole turkey” on my list since I came home from my mom’s house over Thanksgiving.
I had kinda forgotten where I intended […]

Okay, now that I look at it, maybe I’ll cook 90-ish of these meals.
I’m not going to cook a lobster (#12), because picking the scraps of meat out […]
Indian mangoes! They came!
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007Remember when I said Indian mangoes are supposed to be the best thing ever?
