Do you know how much flaxseed meal Brad Royuk eats every day? A surprising amount. See this? That spoon is piled higher than Marge Simpson’s hair! And he eats two of them! *Jibblie* Looks like a compost pile. Peggy, the rest of this post is for you. I wanted to test the terra cotta saucer [...]

Recycling – Out!
December 30, 2007
