Ive been watching the news on tv today and the big issue of the day has been government attempts to cut carbon emissions. All the talk has been about air flight, but far more people drive cars and this huge poison wasnt...

viognier The reason motoring must not be questioned is that it is sacred. Or at least it is treated that way. 30,000-40,000 people are killed every year in auto accidents, but it is hardly ever addressed as a problem. It is estimated that 6000 of these fatalities are...

viognier No tomato sauce, no pproblem. One of my favorite pizzas is made with BBQ sauce instead of tomato sauce. You can also use Hoisin sauce, yummy. Top the pizza with grilled chicken, red onions, cilantro, and smoked gouda cheese. I do not believe in...

viognier I am so new to knitting that I don't have a favorite yet. I did make a felted bag with some Lamb's Pride Bulky yarn, which was a pleasure to work with. I would definitely use it again. I want to try the Lamb's Pride worsted. I just love going to the yarn...

Love 'em? Hate 'em? Don't care? I think screwtop closures on inexpensive, early drinking wines, especially white wines are great! You never need to worry about a wine being "corked". Inexpensive corks are used on...

viognier Do you mean "cilantro"? If so, it is also known as coriander or Chinese Parsley. Without having seen the recipe, I am pretty sure RR wants you to use the leaves of this plant as an ingredient. It is often used in Chinese food and curries. Hope that...

There is a finite amount of oil avalable to us. Some f it is easy to get, some of it is hard to get. What will happen when the cheap, easy oil is gone? How would it change your life if oil/gasoline became really expensive? How...

viognier Thanks Luckyman, I agree with you that the effects of a peak in oil production will have effects most people cannot even imagine. It's a funny topic, because lots of people are very well informed and have begun to plan. Yet, you still meet plenty of...
