You may as well be putting literal money down the drain. Because there’s no way (or reason why) that much laundry/dishwasher detergent is necessary. A New York Times article from March dared explore what many have thought when the time has come to open the wallet for these sudsy wonders. We don’t need a full [...]
The dirty truth about detergent use
October 9th, 2010 by Hilary TrendaSpicy Thursdays with Sandwiches from Heaven
October 7th, 2010 by Hilary TrendaI can still hear both my parents saying: Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. So it’s not really surprising that under that adage I’ve developed tastes for “weird” foods. Not just in the veggie/vegan realm, but in general.

August 19th, 2010 by Hilary TrendaSo if you haven’t seen ‘Office Space’, you may not be able to appreciate the Bill Lumbergh-ness of this post.
