Barbara Kingsolver in her book, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.), mentions that March is the hungry month. I had never thought that much about food before.

This fall, I just happened to catch the show Ellen on tv and she just happened to have the author Jonathan Safran Foer of the book Eating Animals there as her guest. First of all, the fact that I had the tv on AT ALL in the afternoon was a ‘pigs fly’ kind of moment […]

Safe Plastics
There is always something, isn’t there? So now the big concern is BPA in plastics. Mostly this affects hard plastics like polypropalene (Nalgene bottles) and seems to be the most problematic when the plastics are heated (microwave or hot water in dishwasher). However, lots of kid food containers are plastic for their obvious non-breakable properties. […]
