Seattle composting is booming (no doubt helped by that compulsary thing). So much so that nearby Cedar Grove Composting is building an anaerobic digester. But will they change their name?

What is it with you Americans and using incorrect words for food? It’s rocket and coriander, damnit. And while we’re at it: courgettes, aubergines. And *cider* has alcohol in it, otherwise it’s just apple juice.

You say BAH-sill, I say BAY-sill…let’s call the whole thing off. Nice one, Julius.

Is beer food? There was a story this morning about some distributor in Columbia, MO who had dumped 1500 cases of beer in a landfill because it had expired.
The story was here: A Columbia distributor, Scheppers Distributing Co., sent 1,500 cases of expired beer to the landfill
(“BAH-zill” is definitely wrong.) =)
and it’s “pa-PREE-kah”. not “pup-rik-a”
I had no idea about the program Disney does. Good on ’em!
thanks for the leftovers post. always looking for ways to re-purpose/save extra food I make.
JK, I know some people who’d consider beer food…
I can’t believe they have a hard time finding takers for some discounted soon-to-“expire” beer in a college town. Crazy.
