• Definitely see if you could land yourself some pet sitting jobs! It’s easy and so many people HATE boarding their animals. I’ve done lots of pet sitting in the past and made some serious bucks off of it. I moved and never tried to get back into it, …

• I’ve bought from Victory Seeds before, they really care about keeping the heirlooms going! That’s why I love the company. One of the tomato seeds I grew last year dated back to before 1900. It was neat to be able to eat tomatoes that have gone all t…

• Great distinction between the stars, I like that! Especially the difference between 4 and 5 stars, and by stating it that way, yes there is a big difference!

  in Star Rating Comment by coconutty
• Agreed! I don’t believe stars should be given unless the recipe has been made! And yes, if someone feels the need to give such a low rating then they could at least give an explanation of why, and what improvements could be made.

• Um, even if I was just a plain ol vegetarian, there is NO WAY I would survive at one of those places!!!!!!!!!! I just don’t know how people do it, I would want to eat all day long.

• Haaaaaa! Oh no, it doesn’t taste like licorice! It’s kinda like stevia, no real overpowering kind of taste, just sweetness. And I used to love Sambucca by the way! lol!

  in Licorice? Comment by coconutty
• Yeah I suppose so! I’ve never bought the root though so I’m not sure how much of it you would need to make a good cup ‘o tea, so you may have to experiment with that a bit! You could try to get multiple uses out of it, I mean I get multiple uses out…

  in Licorice? Comment by coconutty
• What form is it in? The natural root, powder, or what? Well, if it’s in root form you could chew it or make tea out of it. If it’s powder you could blend it into things. I looooove licorice tea! It makes a really nice sweet tea. Some of the benefits…

• If you’re cruising along fine during the morning, my best guess is that it would be from the fat. I see 3 different fat sources in your salad, maybe cut back to just one. Or maybe eliminate the whole avo. Either way all 3 may be too much for you, so…
