 So this recipes were published for holiday dining, but they still make great meals for the winter season, which sadly (in my opinion) is not over yet. The Daily Green published an article that includes menus for 5 regional holiday meals that feature foods local to the regions. The menus include mouth-watering entries like Bourbon Molasses Ham (from the Southeast), Oyster Chowder (from the Northeast), Cucumer-Winter Purslane Yogurt Salad (from the Southwest), Mashed Russet Potaties with Root Vegetables (from the Plains), and Rice Pudding wtih Pomegrante Syrup (from the Pacific Northwest). All the recipes sounds delicious and would be great at anytime during this cold months!

Hospitals across the country are signing the Healthy Food in Health Care Pledge, promising to provide healthier food for
patients, staff and visitors through local purchases of
fruits, vegetables and hormone-free beef. Hospitals in Massachusetts are the most recent to sign the Healthy Food in Health Care pledge, and you can read hospitals' administration's opinions on the move and how they're putting the pledge in action.

 What do you do when you have a surplus of organic, locally grown squash? At the Sterling College in Vermont, students saved 1000 pounds of butternut squash from becoming compost by baking them into pies for food banks in the area. But the students weren't the only ones doing good. Local producers in the area donated ingredients to the cause. Cabot Farms donated butter, crusts were donated by the Patchwork Farms Bakery, eggs from Applecheek
Farm, spices from Buffalo Mountain Coop, flour from Butterworks Farm,
and maple sugar from Butternut Mountain Farm. The pie recipe even came from a local restaurant!
Please encourage local producers in your area to donate excess food to food banks. By helping your neighbors you're helping your community and yourself! -Jess

Dear Contexture Design,  Please, oh please, help me to make my iPod stylish and cool. My iPod needs a hit of something special. It seems sad, blue. Maybe it's just the winter, but when I put it on shuffle, the songs it picks are always kinda, well depressing. I think my iPod needs some attention, a makeover, SOMETHING. It's tired of being just another black iPod out there in the world. It's having an identity crisis. I love, love, love your 45 iPod cases, made out of original 45's. They are unique, eco-friendly, and perfect for a music lover like myself. And my iPod would look so very hip, and I think it would feel much hipper as well. Sadly, when I ran across your website I noticed that you were sold out of your cases, each one of which is unique. I am desperately pleading to you now to please make some more of these wonderful cases for the sake of all of those bland iPods out there. Do it for the iPods. Sincerely, Jessica PS. If you readers out there have an iPod Nano, you MUST get their case made out of a cassette. They're amazing!

2008 has been a big year for the word "green". Well, you know what? Move on, get over it. "Green", "going green", "green technology" and other green phrases are some of the ones that have madeLake Superior State University's annual list of most overused words they move for banishment. "Carbon Footprint" is another phrase that has been banished by the wordsmiths at the university. Hmmmph. I hate to tell Lake Superior State University but I have a feeling that "green" phrases aren't going away anytime soon. As long as the environment is a big concern, these phrases will be around for a long time. So deal with it! -Jess
