Pogoplug and Tonido Plug

May 31st, 2009

These tiny and cheap computers are amazing. Not sure what I would do with one, but they supposedly use one tenth the electricity so running a green blog using only solar or wind power would be a fun project.

Pogoplug is on sale now for $99.

Tonido Plug is comming soon for only $89.99.

Cook for Good

May 28th, 2009

I found Cook for Good as usual from a lifehacker post. It was interesting to see how you can cook from scratch for $1.16 per meal which is, in some states, less than the food stamp allowance. Unfortunately, the plan is vegitarian but some of the recipies look good. I’m not sure any meal plan can “save the planet”, but to get started there was a rather long lesson on how to make a pot of beans.  So I soaked some dry navy beans overnight and cooked them in the crockpot all day Saturday and did my part to save the world.

L’Avion Experience

I’m leaving tomorrow to return to the US on L’Avion airlines.  logo_elysair

Yes, the plane is purple inside and outside.  I’ve never seen the movie, but some say it looks like the Soul Plane. You decide.

The trip to Paris was very long on Tuesday into Wednesday.  Almost 4 hours delayed departure on top of the 8 hour flight, not to mention getting to Newark a couple hours early to check in. I may think twice about using them again. Other than the delay, it was a good experience.

Note: Although I fit their definition (traveling between NY and Paris for work), I don’t really want to be known as a Paryorker.

Orange Blossom Bread a.k.a Garbage Bread

March 1st, 2009

Just finished making a loaf of what was, and still is, affectionately called Garbage Bread in the Reasor house. Made from the orange peel of three oranges rescued from a trip to the local dump. It came out a little more cake-like and less dense than I remember.

g-grandfather…also in one of my trips to the area I was told there is a family Bible outlining the many children lineage….have hit the ole “brick wall” on this…hope someone can help. Thanks!
