http://ashleygarrett.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Good for the Goose. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Monday, January 31, 2011. Coffee/breakfast spending: $22.28. Grand Total: $186.38. My goal for this week is to reduce my coffee/breakfast spending to $17.00. Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Horrible week. I was abusing McDonald's Cafe this week. I am not sure it is fair to ask a Starbucks Coffee Master (click here. Monday, January 17, 2011. Where have all the placemats gone? Who would have thought :). The study has continued each year. ...

Good for the Goose: Weekly Confessions
http://ashleygarrett.blogspot.com/2011/02/weekly-confessions.html
Good for the Goose. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Monday, February 7, 2011. We had a good week this time. Eating out one less time on the weekend makes a big difference. However, we have been eating out on Thursday evenings after we take Ian to open play at a local venue. I am pretty excited that I made my coffee goal this week. Coffee Total: $7.87. Weekly Grand Total: $114.89. JSU Cafe: $82.00. I did not include this in my grand total. It will come out weekly as we use it.

Good for the Goose. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Monday, January 17, 2011. Where have all the placemats gone?

Miriam Weinstein shares some data related to this topic in her book "The Surprising Power of Family Meals: How Eating Together Makes Us Smarter, Stronger, Healthier, and Happier.

I am not sure it is fair to ask a Starbucks Coffee Master (click here. To learn more. this guy does a nice job tell you what a CM is) to not drink specialty drinks. It may be fair to ask her to make them herself. but who has time for that? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Wasted Food - Jonathan Bloom on food waste and how it can be avoided.

My Year Without Spending. Because excess isn't sexy. August 4, 2009. As my longtime readers know, I love to swap. I've shared the thrills of the clothes swap.

Ventura Produce Cooperative: A Gardener’s Night Before Christmas
http://venturaproducecooperative.blogspot.com/2013/12/a-gardeners-night-before-christmas.html
Sunday, December 15, 2013. A Gardener’s Night Before Christmas. Twas the night before Christmas and all through the yard. The branches were bare and the ground frozen hard;. The roses were dormant and mulched all around. To protect them from damage if frost heaves the ground. The perennials were nestled all snug in their beds. While visions of 5-10-5 danced in their heads. The new-planted shrubs, had been soaked by the hose. To settle their roots for the long winter's doze;. A green Christmas year round,...
