Regular vs. "Green" Toilet Paper

It's not easy being "green"
My husband and I have never been particularly wasteful people but with all the hype surrounding global warming and "going green" we decided to do as much as we could to change how we treat the earth (yes, it sounds corny and all tree-huggerish but just go with it, please). We made some major changes and that's when the supposedly "small" modifications became our focus. One of those changes involved changing toilet paper. I refused to go green on our paper towels because, even though I know they go through a sterilization process, I just can't like the idea of wiping my mouth or counters with recycled paper towels - I'm just being honest.

My Chicken or Beef Vindaloo



I love the spicy chicken vindaloo from Moxie's (Western Canada) but I don't like the price, the extra calories/fat from their cooking methods and portions, nor do I particularly trust others who cook my food. So, what's a girl like me to do?
Learn to make it myself!
So, this isn't exactly the same as the restaurant version but it's close and it's yummy. Here's my recipe!


Ingredients
You will need the following:
1 TBSP (or to taste) Patak's Hot Curry Paste (or similar other brand)
1 medium onion
1/2 (each) green pepper and red pepper
Sprinkle of coconut flakes
1 TBSP minced garlic
1 TBSP minced ginger

Is Sirius Radio Worth The Money?

Before I really go into things, I just want to say that this isn't going to be a super high-tech review of Sirius Satellite Radio. Instead, in plain English (possibly even too plain) I will discuss my experience as a Sirius subscriber. Depending on the receiver you have, your experience may vary but from what I have read and heard from other Sirius subscribers, my experience is pretty normal.

Installing the Receiver
I'm not completely helpless but installing this by myself was not an option. The Starmate model came with an antenna, connecting wires and a windshield mount.
