"Release For More"

"Alone are you at the end of every night whether your loved one are with you they do not think for you who are independently dependent uopn hugs and kisses from the Mr. or Mrs. Stop bluffin and release the cuffings of love for it will not fade of it's sincerity but of it's repeated acts of artificial behavior if given the opportunity to shine in that light." -Mereald Leon Benson III.

Colon Cleanse

Audrey's "Grow Your Own" Blog

At the risk of sounding smug I am keeping to my New Year resolution to reduce my carbon foot print by eating more food that I grow myself. Despite those sub zero temperatures earlier in January I have with just water, warmth, air and a few jars above the kitchen radiator managed to get a very good crop of sprouting mung, aduki, alfalfa, chick peas and green lentil seeds.

Adding them to soups, stir fries and salads has proved a really fun way to get at least one of my 'five a day' of very fresh veg.

Hi all,

Would anyone be interested in getting together a
group of people to place organic wholesale food
orders? Many wholesalers will accept a minimum
order of £400 or so placed by a private group and
you can get huge savings on pantry items such as
tinned tomatoes, beans, pasta, oils, grains,
spices, wine, ecological cleaning products....

Please email me if you're interested!

Thanks
