Next time you go shopping…

What’s that triangle mean on the bottom of my plastic milk bottle?

Anyway, make sure that the top is on tight and tip [...]

Visit the bulk food bins.

Most of my dishes center around a grain (basmati rice, quinoa or couscous), that I buy in bulk. Then, I make a recipe around it. Buying in bulk is nothing new to me. Besides, there is much less packaging to throw away. According to ShifYourHabit.com, If everyone in the U.S. bought [...]

The Endocrine Society & You

Talk about cruelty to animals! Those poor mice! I wonder what the members of the Endocrine Society like to do in their spare time. Maybe, pull the wings off flies?
(By the way, endocrine, according to the dictionary, is synonymous with hormones, tumors or anything that secretes internally, by way of the bloodstream).
