How I did it
How to walk instead of drive whenever possible
It took me
9 months
It made me
accomplished and fit

How I did it: It took my car being slightly under-the-weather for me to really kick this goal in gear, but now I've gotten so used to doing everything on foot, on bike, or on transit, that I'm considering getting rid of the damn thing entirely. Next month, I'm moving into an apartment that is so close to my job that all I have to do is walk across the hall to get there, which will further decline my need for an automobile.

How to cultivate Sprouts
It took me
14 days
It made me
Accomplished!

How I did it: Soaked some seeds and beans for awhile (how long depends on what you are working with), rinsed everything really well, placed in a mason jar with some nylon cloth over the mouth, sat them on a shelf in the kitchen and watched them grow! You need to rinse once in awhile to keep the moisture going (every 6 to 8 hours or so) and you just keep doing this until the sprouts are to your desired growth. A final rinse, and they are ready for eatin… Read how I did it…

Raw Chocolate Pudding 8 hours ago

This is different from the raw chocolate mousse, and quite easy to whip up.

1 avocado
1 banana
5 dates, pitted
3 spoonfuls of cacao powder
a splash of agave
1/3 cup of water, maybe less

Blend until smooth and creamy. Eat the entire thing in one sitting and overdose on chocolatey goodness.

134 - Threesome (1994) 11 hours ago

There seems to be a theme to all the movies I’ve been watching lately – GAY. I think it must be my Netflix recommendations. There are a lot of gay and lesbian films on the watch-it-now tab.
