If You Build It

A few weekends ago my friends and I found ourselves in/near Boston.

You can find this on Wellesley's Campus.

Making More Packing Less

I'm challenging myself to choose 5 foods that I eat/drink that I can make myself to reduce packaging.

The winners are:

Veggie Burgers
Yogurt
Sprouts
Bread
Hummus

Ever since I found out that NYC doesn't recycle plastic containers, like the ones hummus and sprouts come in, I have felt awful about buying them and throwing these packages away. I think that the yogurt will be the biggest challenge.

If you were to donate or "gift" one of these animals as a present which one would you choose?

First I would scratch the crocodile off the list.

He might as well stop trying now because I'm pretty sure he is on the bottom of most peoples' lists.

The camel might want to join the croc on the rejected list.

I'm pretty sure that the photographer was showing bias as well.

I'm choosing the goat... he looks like a jokester.

I think we could have a good time...

Whoever has a birthday next is getting a goat. Well not really... but there is a goat involved.

to the TEA

After giving up coffee about 6 months ago, I have been drinking a lot of tea. When I was a coffee drinker I felt tea didn't have enough taste to replace my addiction to coffee, but now I find myself really enjoying tea.

Around the same time that I had given up coffee I stopped drinking alcohol (temporarily) and we found ourselves at Sympathy for the Kettle on St Marks place on a Friday night.

This night was one of my favorite Friday nights. I could actually hear the conversation I was having with my friends, I didn't spend much money, and it was very relaxing. Might become a common thing for me.

Travels

I have a credit card that gives me travel points. Last September I went to Germany...

and drank too much beer at Oktoberfest...

and wandered.

I just reached $100 off of travel again. Now I can't stop thinking about where to go next.

Visit The Expat Architect in Brussels?

Iceland, because JustFoster wants to help save their economy?

Prince Edward Island or Quebec, because it's a recession and I should spend less?

Stay in the US? Maine? So close but I've never been there.

BedTime

I wouldn't say that these beds were very comfortable...

but they did make for wonderful people watching.

Banana Choconut

Dessert or Dinner?

Finally made that Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. I choose dessert.
