This week, Michelle Obama gathered together a bunch of White House staff and hoed a section of the White House grass to plant a garden. What? The White House is going to grow produce? How cool. The Garden and self sustenance is once again making sense.
When I was young, my Grandfather had a garden that rocked this world. I'm talking plum trees (which he used the fruit of to make his own wine), sweet peas, tomatoes... the harvest was bountiful. He had a green house where he germinated the seeds - it was always warm and smelt earthy. There were pear trees and apple trees to climb in and a honey suckle bush that was a favorite haunt of the neighborhood humming birds. Not to mention the 'prized' dahilas. Truly a little piece of heaven.
It's nice to see this return to roots. From the limited amount of plants we have raised (mainly balcony tomatoes and a few herbs), the feeling of satisfaction from eating what you have grown is immense. Hats off to those making the effort to bring back the garden - not only is it good for the environment + the pocket book, It's a good example to set.
There are somethings that just soothe you...so it's not surprising that Spring 09's accent color in menswear + interiors is the color of the worlds favorite upset stomach remedy. Hot this spring to help soothe your upset recession-stomach + monta-credit revenge is the color of Pepto Bismo. Go ahead spritz up your recession-gray. Ah sweet relief.
I hate the feeling of mung mouth. It's gross - like your teeth need a dunk in something strong.
Then I found Listerine.
Listerine as described by Wikipedia:
First formulated by Dr. Joseph Lawrence and Jordan Wheat Lambert[2] in 1879 as a surgicalantiseptic, it was given to dentists for oral care in 1895 and it was the first over-the-counter mouthwash sold in the United States in 1914. The mouthwash was named in honor of Dr. Joseph Lister, a pioneer of antiseptic surgery.
LIsterine burns my mouth like a hot sauce. It feels like it's doing something. It tastes like antiseptic. Don't bother with mint. Go with the original flavor. Burn baby burn...
A full imix of the same song...but you can listen to each one without feeling the repetition. Breezy, melodic and sublime. They reflect our mood right now... Enjoy....
