Nature's Way in a Modern World: Meet Virginia
http://onnaturalliving.blogspot.com/2009/06/meet-virginia.html
Nature's Way in a Modern World. Wednesday, June 10, 2009. Some time ago I heard the astounding statistic that every DAY in Brazil, an area the size of Virginia was being cleared of trees. Virginia is not Texas, to be sure, but it's still an entire state. And of course I was outraged and probably wrote a letter to the mayor or something (it was that long ago). See the rainforest as a precious resource. To the folks who live there, it's something that gets in the way of making a living. Well, maybe not....

Awake Anew: The Journey into Wakefulness: March 2009
http://awakeanew.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Ownership of our food. Saturday, March 21. Less Plastic: On Being Plastic. It has been a long time since I have written about plastics, and they are what started this marvelous journey into wakefulness. I realized tonight, as I started to read some other blogs whose bloggers are at different points in the journey from myself, that some things have become habit for me and I have stopped stressing about plastic so much. Monday, March 16. Reduce: Food and Eating. Now that I cook fo...

Green for the rest of us: How NOT to make liquid soap
http://tacomagreenmama.blogspot.com/2012/04/how-not-to-make-liquid-soap.html
Green for the rest of us. Tuesday, April 17, 2012. How NOT to make liquid soap. Always looking for new ideas, I tried it. The soap created was gelatinous and difficult to pump out of the bottle, and after about a month, the pumps on all three liquid soap bottles in my house (in 1.5 baths and a kitchen) stopped working. OK, so back to my old method! I bought Kiss My Face peace soap, made from Castile soap; an 8-oz bottle costs $2.99 at Grocery Outlet). I empty my 24-oz dish liquid into an empty gallon-siz...

Green for the rest of us: May 2012
http://tacomagreenmama.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Green for the rest of us. Monday, May 7, 2012. The good news and the bad news. The good news is, the City of Tacoma is now collecting food waste. As part of its biweekly garbage and recycling pickups. The bad news is, I don't live in Tacoma but a near suburb, so I can't participate. The good news is, I have been consistently collecting food scraps in a container under my sink, and covering it with bokashi. Then I ignored it for two weeks, and just checked it again today. No fruit flies, and the maggo...

Awake Anew: The Journey into Wakefulness: Cheesy Corn & Carrot Chowder
http://awakeanew.blogspot.com/2013/12/cheesy-corn-carrot-chowder.html
View my complete profile. Ownership of our food. Saturday, December 7. Cheesy Corn and Carrot Chowder. This is an adaptation of the recipe for "Cheese and Corn Chowder" from The More with Less Cookbook. Produced by Doris Janzen Longacre for the Mennonite Central Committee. This cookbook, as I've written in the past, espouses values of healthier, more economic cooking through the use of basic ingredients. I also love the companion cookbook, Simply in Season. Sauté in a Dutch oven:. 1 onion, chopped. Subsc...
