The theme tonight of "no waste" is one I try to practice at home, but sadly, no one has gifted me with half an organic pig. Things that surprised me: an Asian cook who didn’t really seem to know what to do with whole areas of...

Any opinions on whether organic is better than regular in terms of chicken health and nutritiousness of the meat? There are only two options as far as I’ve seen — Rubashkin Aaron’s Best Organic and Wise Organic...

but not over ripe but it can’t be kept so I’ve taken to bringing it home as I hate to see it wasted. I’m looking for new ideas. This week it’s plums. Beautiful, purple, locally grown BC organic plums. Any...

I’m thinking of joining a CSA this summer. I noticed past posts praising Angelic Organics. But I was looking at the helpful map at this website: http://www.sustainusa.org/familyfarmed/csa_list.html. Sweet Earth Organic has...

Reading your post has inspired me to get serious about organizing my books. I really do waste a lot of time when I’m looking for a particular book and have to keep scanning all the shelves, piles etc. to find it...I’m...

The organic dogs I’ve tasted all stink to a greater or lesser extent; I’ve tried many brands in the hope of finding one, but invariably I taste and toss the dog (why waste calories on bad chow?). I’ve decided...

After reading all the inventive and thoughtful kitchen organizing tips, I am hoping we can move to my nemisis: The Refrigerator. I am the Imelda Marcos of condiments and my refrigerator shows it. Condiments—they are all...

I have a recipe binder, but it’s positively overflowing with newspaper and magazine clippings, handwritten family recipes, and internet print-outs. I’m thinking about switching to a filing system. How do you organize...

this is an interesting article. newly an organic food advicate, i think it’s always great to read the opposite opinion. here’s mine though: i don’t want to EAT chemical fertilizers, pesticides, etc. it’s...

I found a recipe or where it is now kept. I have many years of cooking magazines and hundreds of cookbooks. I waste a lot of time trying to find something I’ve liked in a magazine, or book etc. I’m thinking of using a...

I have tried organic milk @ a relatives house(I wouldnt waste my own money on it), and I didnt taste any difference. The only thing I think is richer about organic milk is the premium price. No thanks, I’ll stick to regular...

Can’t say if this happens at all Raley’s / Nob Hill markets, but I was looking at the meat and there were half chickens for $1 - $1.25. A good enough deal and then II learned from the manager of the meat department...

shopping is all that we waste. I also like to add local to my requirement for organic food. If I buy organic but it is trucked from California, I am not really doing the environment any favours. That way I get to put my money...
