Having Christmas every week: The CSA box

South Central Farmer box I received in April

For a very long time, I searched for an affordable CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) group in Los Angeles.  For a semi-accurate list but see the LocalHarvest site.  But, I had some issues with traditional CSA programs:
1. I can not afford to spend $40 a week on fruit and veggies (no matter how organic and delicious)
2. I do not have the excess cash to spend $$$ six months ahead of time for these fruits and veggies

Product Review: Plumb Away

Of course the day that I have a grad school interview (more on that later) is the day our shower completely stops draining.  In a panic, I turned to my hubby and said, "Go to the store.  Get some Drano.  I don't care how many horrible chemicals it has and the pollution it will cause.  We are desperate!"

Lesson Learned: Do not watch Harry Potter movies while sewing curtains!  It does matter how many times you've already seen them. . .
