Links I've Loved Lately

1)  Heather's Bok Choy and Egg meal.  This was last Friday night's "date night" dinner for George and me.  We fed the kids their usual pizza in front of the TV, and ate by candlelight in the kitchen.  Often we prefer this to going out, because we get to cook and eat things the kids wouldn't touch.  Like bok choy sauteed in olive oil and garlic, with a little salt and a poached egg on top.  I couldn't believe how tasty this very simple meal was.

2)  Sally's post on How to Balance a Long Torso, because this is me!  I've discovered many of these ideas through trial and error, but the tip about looking for shirts in the tall section and the sleeve length guidelines are totally new to me.  Petite pants I've been doing, but tall shirts?  Blew my mind!

3)  Speaking of which...I have to share Sheila's series at To Love, Honor and Vacuum called "29 Days to Great Sex", which she ran through the month of February, because it was so well done.  It got George and me talking--a lot--and laughing, though I must say some of the comments are very sobering and made me sad for many marriages.  Sheila writes about Christian marriage, and does a great job not being TOO conservative about it.  Here's Day One's post...

4)  Susan Cain's Ted Talk on The Power of Introverts is just excellent, and I could totally relate to her summer camp story.  Suitcase full of books to summer camp?  Yep.

5)  SouleMama and company recently introduced a new magazine called Taproot, and I'm eagerly awaiting my first issue.

and finally, because six is my lucky number:

6)  Mentioned yesterday, Zen Habits' post A Survival Guide For Beating Information Addiction is already helping me get more blogging and writing done, and I love it!

The 7 Areas for Reduction

Today I want to write just a snippet on each of the 7 areas where we're reducing our consumption. See the Riot for Austerity page to learn more. 1. Electricity. No major sacrifices. We're still watching TV a little and I'm online way too much trying to keep up with this group (my latest obsession), but we're now turning both off at the power strip when they're not in use, instead of just at night when we go to bed. Also, many more appliances are getting unplugged when not in use. 2. Heating and Cooking Energy. We are using the a/c today due to temps in the 90s and very high humidity. That is my general rule for a/c use and always has been-it has to be over 90 degrees F. and humid. Tonight when the predicted cold front passes through we'll turn it off for at least the next week of predicted 80s. 3. Gasoline. I'm biking the 2.5 miles to work every time I work, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. George is biking the 3 miles to the health club for his aerobic w...

America a Military Police State--Now Obvious to Minnesotans

From my friend Devin's blog, The Quince Urban Homestead . They and others in the Twin Cities are much more aware of what's going on down there than we are an hour north. News reports are incomplete and, of course, skewed to the "need for order" and fear tactics. Of course we don't want violence, but come on! Has it come to this? This could be my family! Or anyone's family, simply doing their thing...Read on...(emphases are mine) Some links first: Youtube Video Twin Cities Daily Planet news with photo Flickr photos Happenings at the RNC here in St.Paul Minnesota.
