Surprise, Surprise

I didn't think it was possible, but I have met a chocolate bar that I don't like.  I love, love, love - Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate, SO, I naturally assumed that I would really love "real" dark chocolate.  It was a big decision standing in the candy bar aisle at Earthfare, but I finally settled on Green & Black's Organic Dark Chocolate.  Boy, was I in for a rude awakening.  Turns out, I DON'T like dark chocolate at all.  Don't blame Green & Black's - I ended up giving it away to my friend Jim and he thought it was fantastic.  Lesson learned.




I have spent the past couple of months trying to "green" my life.  I have started shopping at Earthfare and only buying humanely raised, USDA certified, organic meats.  Unless you want to be depressed, don't research the hormones and antibiotics that are put into our meats and produce.  I won't even get started on the commercial fishing industry.  Lately, I've become a little obsessed with only buying organic.  I have no problem with eating out, BUT I can be mindful of the food that I buy.

I've also found a brand of "green" cleaners that I really love.  It's called "Naturally It's Fresh".  I started looking for safe cleaning products after I got tired of coughing every time I used 409.  409 is a wonderful cleaner but over the past couple of years I started getting a weird tickle in my throat every time I used it.  Then I would start coughing.  That couldn't be good for me. 

If you have any interest in "greening" your life, I suggest reading Sara Snow's book- Sara Snow's Fresh Living. Very interesting....

Well, it isn't very often that I turn into Heloise but those are my household hints for the month!!! Maybe next time I'll tell you how to get chewing gum out of your hair.   Have a great day.
