And it fits nicely with the itch I've had recently to get back into some adventurous cooking. So thanks for the excuse. :) As for sins - well, that's the whole point of trying to be green, in my opinion. Nobody can be perfectly green - it's always something to work at, to reassess and to negotiate and renegotiate with yourself. And that's the power of individual action: no single person can solve all our environmental problems, but if everyone does just a little bit towards helping them, then it adds up to something literally worldchanging. I'm happy being imperfect, as long as I can do my little bit, and work hard at it. :) ***** Tonight, Sara, it was chicken, beansprouts and water chestnuts tossed in a wok. Just using up the final remainder of my prepackaged food before I start on my 40-day New Me. :) And this weekend, I will be hunting high and low for the choicest ingredients - and then I'll get cooking. (Too much fun). You have indeed, Caitlin. And it fits nicely with the itch I’ve had recently to get back into some adventurous cooking. So thanks for the excuse. :)

Just can't decide what. What's cooking for tonight, Sowden? Well, I gave up alcohol and coffee, which isn’t really green but is healthy. ;) I’m all for doing something new and green.

That's EXACTLY why I wanted to write for EcoSalon. Grinning from ear to ear. Don't worry Mike, we all have our eco-sins. I'm pretty good when I'm at home but I do quite a lot of international air travel for my job and to see my family in Australia. I'm working on changing that. <abbr><em>Caitlin's last blog post..<a target="_blank" href="http://www.caitlinfitzsimmons.com/2009/02/09/best-job-in-the-world/" rel="nofollow">Best job in the world</a></em></abbr> Yay!
