1. Time wasting: Instead of facebook, why not try these blogs: Art and Influence, Lines and Colors, Flavorwire, and Seizure Chicken. Thanks to my bro for the first two.
2. How to Cook Everything Vegetarian by Mark Bittman: Not only does this man write wonderfully about food for the New York Times, but he also teaches how to make delicious food in his cookbooks. I’m a vegetarian, so obviously, his vegetarian cookbook is the most germane to my needs. We’ve tried more than three recipes, tagine, mac and cheese, olive oil bread, etc, from this book, and they’ve all been easy to follow and have turned out pleasant to eat.
3. Handkerchiefs: I used to be a firm believer in blowing my nose on disposable pieces of paper. To make myself feel better, I would buy the recycled kind. Now, I’ve converted 80% to blowing my nose on pieces of cloth that I can easily throw in with my laundry for cleaning. I’m working on the other 20%. I made my handkerchiefs by cutting up bandannas and thin t-shirts I wasn’t using anymore. You can do it too, if you’re not already a convert. They’re also nice for wrapping around my breakfast when I have to take it to go, duh, I only use clean ones for that. Try it out, you might beat me to 100% conversion.
