Comment on Chris J.'s review of Chocolate Cake Mix
I love Namaste products, and have written a review on their bodacious brownies. My friend tells me that the Cherrybrook Frosting is great! I think I'll bake us Namaste cupcakes for Mother's Day and bring the "little girl" out in all three generations of us girls getting together! Thanks.
Comment on Jenn A.'s review of Fiber Grow Enviro Containers
Wow, Jenn - thanks for educating us! I've emailed this to some folks that I know will find this very interesting too. You've changed how I will buy my potting supplies from now on. This is what conscious consumerism and networking is all about! I'll look for fiber pots at our local home & garden supply stores here.
Comment on Cris B.'s review of Ecocity World Summit 2008
Thanks, Jenn, for the resources. I completely agree with Jaime Lerner's perspective that the future of creating better cities is teaching our children at an early school age about environmental ethics and stewardship: http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/007996.html. The same kids that are lovin' Gorilla in the Greehouse.
Comment on Cris B.'s review of Fudge Brownie Mix
I only bake this kind of stuff for family gatherings and for guest, otherwise I'd be tempted to eat at least one a day! Tragic to eat them all in one binging frenzy!
Comment on Cris B.'s review of Organic Multi-Grain Tempeh
Okay, Jenn, here's the deal - Surata Soy Foods does business in OR, WA, ID, MT, NV and parts of N. CA - You can buy it in Eugene at Market of Choice, Capella's Market, Fred Meyer, Kiva and Sundance. At Fred Meyer on West 11th you can buy it frozen. Because it freezes well, you could have it shipped frozen in a cardboard box, packed in dry ice. If a bunch of you at the office wanted to place an order (perhaps get a better price - this is me talking, I don't know if a discount is possible) and keep shipping costs down, you could give Shevach a call Surata Soy Foods at 541.485.6990. This is all I can tell you after placing a call to the company. Nice folks!
Comment on Cris B.'s review of All Purpose Plant Food
Thanks for the update Adam - I hadn't heard the outcome, but reading about the dilemma at the time it was clear to me that it was a case of situation #2. And, I've boycotted Miracle-Gro ever since!
Comment on Cris B.'s review of Hemp Protein Powder
If I recall, the cost is around $16.99.
Comment on Cris B.'s review of Garbage-Free Lunch Box
Thanks for your comment Jay. I really like To-Go Ware! What great parents; blessed toddler!
Comment on Ilana G.'s review of Noodle Bowl
A great product to learn about, Ilana, THANKS!, but can you tell me, are these instant lunches, Gluten Free?
