I've bought a rainbarrel!! It's not yet set up, but I'll post pictures ASAP
I've planted broccoli and brussel sprouts in separate containers on my deck, since I have moved, I have not been able to take care of them AT ALL, but they are hardy plants, so lets see how they fair on their own...I'll also post pictures ASAP
I've made homemade mozzarella several times, it's delicious and easy!! Pictures and details ASAP
Finally, I've been to my 6 month check in at the dentist. It was the ultimate test as to how my homemade baking soda toothpaste holds up. Not only was it one of the shortest cleanings I have had in a long time (little plaque build up), but my teeth are whiter than ever (normally whitening toothpastes cause cavities because they weaken the enamel of your teeth) and I have no cavities or even signs of the possibility of future cavities. A quote from my dentist, was "your teeth are boring, there is no need for me"... all in all, I am extremely happy with my homemade toothpaste. Also, if your dentist "polishes" your teeth at the end of a cleaning, make sure you ask for pumice instead of the prepackaged flouride-ridden stuff they usually use.
I'll post the pictures and everything soon. Also, there is a lot to write about my upcoming backpacking ecotourism trip across the country to organic farms and vineyards. My friend Annabel, a visual arts major, will be documenting our entire trip and will be adding video and camera footage to this blog alerting everyone to our ecotourist efforts.
Talk soon!
