The apple sauce we buy and also our jellies, as well as other foods we buy at our local grocery store all come in glass jars. Our City recycles so that’s where the used jars would go, but one day I remembered how in the Dominican Republic where I grew up our neighbors would often [...]

It’s soup night

Our day today started off like every other Thursday – the local farmer’s market.
