The last conference I went to had actual ceramic mugs instead of paper cups. Loved it. It just feels more civilized!

I share your glass jar love! All of our beans, grains, dried fruit, nuts, and gluten free flours are stored in 1 quart mason jars. I use a paint pen to label the tops of the jars, but they look so pretty lined up in the pantry, and I can always see what I’m running low on easily. Pint jars are my go-to for taking my lunches to work – easily portions leftovers, and makes reheating easy, and prevents spills as my bag gets jostled around on public transit or bike.

Comment on DIY Toothpaste by Rich

You can substitute castile soap for glycerin – you’ll need to add stevia or some non-plaque causing sweetener if you want it sweet.

128 g coconut oil
20 g castile soap
10 g baking soda
5 g essential oils (100 drops or to taste) for flavor
sweetener to taste

Melt the coconut oil in a double boiler; Add other the rest of the ingredients and whisk or use a submersible blender to combine.

Oh also re: baking soda IMHO enamel is the hardest surface of our bodies, harder than bone, and I use baking soda as a non-scratch cleaner on delicate surfaces. I’ve used baking soda toothpaste – commercial, commercial + from the box, and DIY toothpaste and have never experienced any bad side effect. If you look at the contents of commercial toothpaste you see that it has abrasives in it too.

If the gas is cut off we’ve got bigger problems, I think, than we are equipped to deal with right now!
