Broccoli, eggplant, tomatoes, green and fruit peppers, oh my! Yes, after failing miserable last year to grow a crop indoors, I will try again. This time by ACTUALLY reading up first on what to do and then FOLLOWING the directions. What you will see below (besides some nifty editing skills only rivaled by George Lucas) is my seedlings. This short was produced two weeks ago, however I will update you guys very soon on my progress - or failure.

How to Make a Sun/Moon Jar
Afraid of the Dark?
I have to admit that sometimes I can be, especially when it raining, thundering and lightening. However, I do hate leaving a bunch of lights on around the house too (our utility bills are a mess). But I may have found a way around it without having to waste electricity on those little night lights. It's called a Sun/Moon Jar. It's really easy to make and a fun project for the whole family. And without sounding too much like those cheesy infomercials, they really do add a really cool decor to any window.

Making your own Peanut Butter
Salmonella scares seems to be are becoming very common. And its definitely scaring the shit out of me. Most recently was the shocker that peanut products manufactured by Peanut Corporation of America, were the source of Salmonella-contaminated products that sickened almost seven hundred people and caused the deaths of nine.
Now, I know that I don't have to remind you of how the current agribusiness model, which is dominated by financial interest, profits and greed, has led to the unsanitary conditions to which has created the breading ground for Salmonella and other deadly foodborne pathogens (I save that soapbox for another day). But I will suggest to you that there is something we can do about it.
As consumers (and yes, human beings), we have choices and we must learn to exercise them. No, I will not preach a sermon about buying organic or reducing your carbon footstep by not eating meat or some other pretentious junk like that. No, I'm more soft-handed. Plus I understand that the above mention is not always realistic or afforable for those of us living on a budget. So here's a video about making your own peanut butter.
I hope it inspires you to come up with your own ways to exercise better, more concienceous choices.
Enjoy
