All our detergents, soaps, personal care products, cleaners, etc. don't disappear once they leave the drain - they end up in the water supply, so opt for non-toxic products as much as possible. I had been using natural detergent from my local refill store but I tried making some today.

My girls will not eat homemade mac & cheese because it is "too cheesy". They prefer the type from the box. On my quest to reduce waste & costs, we tried this mac & cheese powder. They loved it, despite it being vegan and not really cheesy at all.

I'm thinking I am going to switch my registration to Republican in hopes of getting more moderates through the system. What I wouldn't give for another G.W. Bush right now.

I switched to oat "milk" a few years ago, for cholesterol and eco-reasons, but only recently did I realize how easy it is to make your own. And there are recipes to use up the pulp, so there's no waste. It doesn't cut it for me as coffee creamer, so I blend it with coconut milk.

I am trying to avoid falling into a pit of despair and celebrating frivolous holidays. Tomorrow is National Hot Buttered Rum day. Has anyone had hot buttered rum? Is it any good? If it's gross, I could pivot to National Hot Heads Chili Day, National Popeye day, National Bootlegger's Day, etc..
