Butternut Squash Soup with Ginger. This stuff is amazing. I would go so far as to encourage women to apply a small dab behind their ears.
Thank you Quagmire. Now I want to live in a giant gourd. Very nice!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pops', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'D')oesn't the tree removed from the soil steal nutrients from the field?
Yea, just like milk, eggs, wheat, corn, beef you eat, the cotton for your underwear as well as pulp for the wrapping paper or the cardboard containers holding the crap you get from Amazon or Best Buy - ad infinitum.
I'm sure I consume more of all those crops that I need; which should I give up first, the tree or the wheat?
Which should you?
Just saying...
A tree cutted and used as adornment is insane, it is an obvious and specific way of a better environmental ethical conduct.

Just like tapping on your plastic keyboard, gazing at your LED screen and all the while pretending your use of non-renewable energy to do so for pleasure or false ego is benign.
Don't talk till you walk.
The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.

(mostly) aluminum keyboard
LCD display (much more efficient)
durable computer (Mac) that uses much less electricity than most desktops
using electricity from 85% renewable resources
using less than 100 papers, recycling paper and cartboard (carton)
AND, it still doesn't make cutting trees are adornment SANE. They are SEPARATE. We have to do a lot of changes, I'm pointing first the less "painful".

The wife and I cut the Christmas tree today. We went down to the plot where I set out some trees for a 4-H project fourty years ago and began the ritual of picking the best tree. Three good enough volunteers were regected and one of the original sets now fifty feet high was deemed good enough to use the top seven feet of so, I cut it down with the hand saw and we dragged the top back the 300 yards to the house. We left the rest for the deer to browse as there is no market for balsom fir wood. I need to trim up some of the volunteers and cut away their competition to create a better supply for future years.
