The economic slowdown, the green shift etc. are making the once termed 'cheap Indian mentality' not cheap anymore!
Bringing your own bags to stores are welcomed and I see people sporting these store logo-ed green bags everywhere!(oh, I miss being the odd jolna pai!)
I was surprised to see the following printed on Target's plastic bag
10 Ways to Reuse Your Target Bag

5. Soggy Laundry
6. Ice Pack
7. Toiletry Tote

Even my kindergartener has caught up with the Reuse-Recycle-Reduce mantra but her ishtyle is always the unexpected! She doesn't let me throw anything in the bin now(even the flimsy store bakery boxes). After the use of her favourite tools: scissors, glue, colors (Cut & Paste & Decorate) it becomes a "gift for Amma"!!
Whether I (get to) use or not, I love to clip all those coupons that I find and add to my handbag clutter. But compared to her, I don't know if I will even qualify to be Kadhalikka Neramillai Sachchu style, raanikku saamaram veesum chedi!!!
It is nice that all newsletters are sent(or atleast have the option) in e-mail saving paper. But isn't it just light green since electricity is used to power those computers?
People, please stop giving those free T-shirts for anything and everything! Most of them are of gigantic sizes and others have outdated logos(how to wear a T-shirt with prints Digital 1999 or Black Friday 2006!)
Hubby's office celebrated a belated Earth Day recently (on a day he was off!). A few days back he proudly brought back his green kit containing a couple of green re-usable bags(with grocery on the other hand in a store plastic bag!!), a green tips sheet and other pamphlets in logoed plastic bag! One of the green tip was about carrying your own mug to the coffee shop & reduce trash! Everytime we had to get doggy bag/food to go from the restaurant, my hands would itch to get a container of my own but never got the courage(what if aththaan declares, "That's it! No more eating out")! Anyway, like the jolna pai, I'm sure the day is not far away when everyone will come to restaurants with their adukku tiffin box!

It is quiet and will not be heard over a television or

So, if you want to give them a gift that they will appreciate for years to come, a slow cooker is an awesome
option. Often, a recipe will ask that you cook a meal 3-4 hours
on the "high" setting, or 6-8 hours on "low". Because the lid
will be sitting snugly on the pot during the slow cooking, liquid
will be generated as a by-product.

Add spices appropriately: If you are using whole spices (recommended), add
them at the beginning of cooking. Take this 5 minutes
to go ahead and clean up the slow cooker. On the other hand, high
setting will make it cook faster, which is for only 3 to
4 hours.

And, that part of the Waffle Baker does make us
happy. So in conclusion I will say that there are, like I said earlier, other good and well-known brands out there when it comes for kitchen appliances like
waffle makers. For scrambled eggs, add the eggs to the pie iron and close,
holding over the campfire until eggs are done.

you to practice perfect form or for simply warming up your triceps muscles.
Because if you will not do these two, then all your efforts in building great muscles will

weight used, rest periods, exercises, duration, and intensity.
