Your canned goods come from WHERE?!

March 8, 2009

I am now looking at ingredients in a whole new light. Since starting No More Corn Syrup, I have been reading every ingredient list on every grocery item I get my hands on. I now have a pretty good idea of what things do and don’t have corn syrup in them. What gets really confusing […]

I am home today, it’s sunny, and time to test out the cheap-o greenhouse! It’s 42℉ and sunny. A beautiful, unseasonably warm day. I finished building ver 2 of the mini-solar-greenhouse at the end of the day 3 days ago. For the last two days plus just this morning, it has been soaking up solar […]
