Earplugs

I got a set of earplugs a few years back, when I was head­ing off to Burn­ing Man. I saw on them on ebay for, I dunno, maybe 30 bucks. I'm think­ing ok, I'll be there ten nights, I want really good earplugs, since peo­ple run­ning around with airhorns at 7am is a rel­a­tively com­mon

The Upside to Abusing Cacao

Last night about 9pm I had a fruit salad. It was tasty. What wasn't so clever was putting raw choco­late sauce on it (cacao pow­der, coconut oil, raw honey). I went to sleep around 1–1:30ish. At 3:30 I woke up, wide awake, and could NOT get back to sleep. Ok, so cacao late at night = bad

Thar's Gold In Them Thar Street

I saw this today: Yep, a glo­ri­ous rain­bow! Well, that's one end of it. But take a gan­der at the other end: Have a look at that!! The end of the rain­bow is in front of the build­ing. This means, of course, that there's a pot o' gold some­where in my street! Woohoo! Amus­ingly, there's already

Beauty At Dusk

Win­ter is finally thaw­ing into spring, the days are slowly get­ting brighter. It's finally warm enough to ven­ture onto the bal­cony at dusk.

The Subtle Power Of A Room Shuffle

Remem­ber that scene from Dead Poet's Soci­ety, where the teacher, played by Robin Williams, gets the kids to stand on their desks so they can see the world in a dif­fer­ent way? Yeah, it's like that now. Only more so. Now, it

Food Processor — Inner City Styles

I'm see­ing more & more recipes that need a food proces­sor — but my kitchen is only big enough for midgets (or two reg­u­lar peo­ple if one of them stands on the bench) I already have a juicer & blender (that both see a lot of use). Between them they already take up half my bench

Cleaning House — Removing obvious food toxins

I've just come off a thirty some­thing day juice feast, fol­lowed by a four day water fast (more on that lot later), and after all that cleans­ing, I started think­ing about what I was now going to be putting into my body again. Why waste all that time by just putting more tox­ins in? So I started
