FENDER BLENDER

The bicycle-powered blender was a big hit at Sheboygan's EARTHFEST this past weekend. (I got to peddle a couple slushies myself. Much harder than it looks).

MADE FROM SCRATCH

A recent new purchase has been the book, Made from Scratch: Discovering the Pleasures of a Handmade Life. Jenna Woginrich is my age, works a full-time desk job, and has written a very practical, easy-to-read memoir about her adventures in self-sufficient living. A lot of the chapters aren't quite applicable to me in my yardless studio apartment, (beekeeping, chickens, house dogs, etc), but I mostly wanted to support a 26-year old writing about homesteading. Check out her blog, Cold Antler Farm.

RUNNING SHOES

I gave up on running for a while. I was in college, and I couldn't afford new shoes, so I ran in the same pair of shoes for too long and ruined my knees. I'm easing myself back into it, with a good pair of shoes and a strategy to run on the ground instead of the sidewalk.

SOME THINGS JUST NEED TO BE NEW

A broom needs to be new because you can't move into a new place and bring along the dirt from your old place, (according to Amy Bogard). The plunger and the toilet bowl brush are self-explanatory.
