in the past must now presort it and then pay to have it hauled away - It seems that much of the actual recycling process takes place in China. We ship recyclable material to China, where people manually sort it under grim working...

, the employees were extremely helpful and friendly, explaining the concept and the food. All packaging uses recycled materials (no styrofoam!). We got a whole chicken with the Peruvian spices, which came with three sides. We...

There’s a lot of new cutting boards that can go in the dishwasher and are easy on the knofe edge. The one in particular that I like is from Epicurean and is made with recyclable materials. It comes in many sizes and a few...

of toppings to crust was better. I like Pizza Fusion’s philosophy, with the commitment to organics, recyclable materials, and so on. Their pizza I thought was underwhelming. The crust was nicely crisp but was overpowered by...

in the world. I think that it’s supposed to be recycled materials, but I just don’t understand why anyone would want an ugly bowl, regardless of its intended use!

These are not at all difficult to find — just open your Yellow Pages (the big phone book that shows up on your porch once a year ;-) to Building Materials or Masonry Supplies. I’m sure you’ll find a place within...

So the unofficial rule is you can only post a non-food joke with each REAL food idea of how to recycle a fruitcake. Yeah, I know people love fruitcake. I love dark fruitcake too, but there are some I can’t stand ... the type with...
