Status quo...

[Laura]

I currently:

• bring my lunch in canning jars and cloth napkins.
• buy in bulk (meaning one large plastic container) in stead of individual plastic containers.
• refuse plastic silverware whenever possible.
• refuse straws often.
• choose take out food by what kind of packaging it comes in. (example: the Blue Water Taco near work wraps burritos in alluminum foil and doesn't force a plastic bag on me.)

I want to:

• stop eating work snacks. they are individually wrapped and not good for me anyway.
• figure out how to make my own yogurt.
• use the cheese making kit I bought a little while ago.
• shop at the local farmers markets for unwrapped, seasonal, local veggies.

I will update this list as I go. :)

Ha! You can rest assured that I do not want to stop eating. Perish the thought! Oh, the lovely food I would miss.

Awesome! Thanks for the yo recipe. Must try. :P

Hi. Your post on the front page ends with "I want to: stop eating"

I thought that was the end of it, and I thought it was pretty funny! I want to stop eating too. Unfortunately, if I do that, I'll most likely die.

Here's an easy way to make yogurt without having to buy a yogurt maker:
