  I love to cook and I have never preserved anything because I'm sure someone will keel over from my jelly somehow.  I'll reread your paragraph telling me I won't poison anyone twenty times and maybe this will be the year I try this.  Thanks for the encouragement!

  Julie's also does super yummy chocolate covered chocolate ice cream pops and amazing sorbet pops -- mango passion is our favorite so far, but we'll give a few others a chance soon, just because we're open-minded like that.  Nothing like eating ice cream in the name of science and fair play!

  Sounds heavenly. 

  Just a caveat:  the basting sauce should probably be cooked somehow before serving if it's been exposed to a brush/mint sprig that basted the raw lamb?  Or do such things not really matter with organic lamb?

  Another vote for Decent Exposures (http://decentexposures.com/), with a comment that they served me extraordinarily well as a well-endowed nursing mama.

  the disposable mindset

  Part of my decision to use cloth diapers has to do with staying away from the cultural norm of being a disposable society.  I don't use paper plates or paper napkins, no matter how recyclable they are, because it's unnecessary to use something new all the time.  Part of the problem with disposable diapers is starting a child in life with the model of use something once and throw it away.  

  Besides, I wear cloth underwear because it's more comfortable than paper.  I figure my kid probably thinks the same thing.  So, yes, I do opt for convenience and comfort in some things.On Umbra on the never-ending diaper ado posted 1 year, 4 months ago 25 Responses
