group shot

Hey guys,

Sorry everything is taking me so long. I'm running in about four directions at once.

What a good looking group - and salad!!!

Ideas?

Hi all,

I'm in Texas! They actually have a really, really great recycling program here in Houston. There is recycling for paper, plastic, styrofoam, electronics (!) and glass. But! Here I am in a residence where recycling isn't happening. I'd like it to be happening.

I'm not, though, sure of how to start that up. Who do you talk to to figure out what the barriers are? Likely there are reasons it isn't happening already, so how do I figure that out? You're all initiative takers, here. Advice? Clearly I'm only here for 4 months and so I can't change things alone. . . but it should start to happen somewhere! There is no 'environment club' and the environmental studies program is floundering. Where to start?

Have fun at your eco-village Sarsies, and good job [aside from potential molding] with the pickles! Yay!

Best from the state of high heels and recycling potential,

Tricia

Here they are, the super awesome pickle pictures.

Enjoy - and here's hoping we can still enjoy the pickles.

The beginnings - boiling the jars.

A little out of focus but still evidence that laura is actually a pickle pusher - keep you children indoors.















Sorry I had to leave the red-eye. It just adds to the crazy cook image.














Too many cooks in the kitchen???













Ready to be sealed.

The finished product!
