@ Erin – Yes! If only I had all the time in the world, you know? That topic is definitely on my list of things to cover – unfortunately that list is very, very long. However at your request I will bump it up in the queue. =)

Thanks for saying hi! Welcome!

Hello! I’ve been reading for awhile and wanted to say hi, and ask a question/make a posting topic suggestion.
I’d love to see you talk about refined sugar, and alternatives in cooking/baking. I’ve been doing my own fledgling research, and it’s difficult to figure out the details of the refining process, and how I can still bake the things I love with ingredients that are easy to find at the store.

@ Amy – Ooh! Thanks for the reminder! I went out and stirred and sniffed my own heap, and everything appears to be in order. Thanks!

@ Homegrown Texan – Duly noted! And thanks!!!

I’m always into food and gardening (the latter of which I see as very desirable means to the former :) ). I love your blog! :)

Re: composting:

We’ve come up with (I think) a pretty clever way to get more ‘browns’ in our compost bin. I found a huge pack of brown paper lunch sacks that we are never going to use, so what I do is I use them to line the bowl I’ve been dumping my produce waste in. Then, every day instead of dumping out the bowl and having manky, drippy veggie juice all over, I just pull out the sack and throw the whole thing in the composter–the paper adds to the browns, and I’m getting rid of those sacks that were just taking up space in a kitchen drawer.

(and, our compost seems to be working–it smells loamy and composty, not rot-y, and when i put my hand in it’s a little bit warm and toasty. yay for compost!)
