It’s a time when many of us ask ourselves and one another why something so simple, so desperately needed, and so seemingly in our power to create, remains so absent from the reality that is our lives, year after year. Now, at the very beginning of 2014, as I seek to answer that all-important question, I find an enormous elephant in the room that is our war-torn world. As much as we try to get around it by pretending that it is not there, we cannot. This huge blockage in the way of all our efforts to make peace is our continued support of the animal industry, the violence and cruelty inherent in it and the untold misery it inflicts. As eloquently described by the Nobel prize-winning Yiddish story teller, Isaac Bashevis Singer: “In relation to animals, all people are Nazis; for them, it is an eternal Treblinka.” And it is no less hellish because its victims are other than human. Until now. Pantry.
Yuzu (柚子), a small yellow or green citrus fruit, has became popular in the United States for the past decade as a lot of chefs started to use it.
Yuzu is originally from China, but it’s mostly used in Japanese and Korean cuisine for centuries. Yuzu’s flavor is tart but has amazing aroma; therefore, it is rarely eaten as a fruit and aromatic zest and juice are only used just like how we use lemon. Yuzu has big seeds inside. Here are some of yuzu (柚子, ゆず, ユズ) products that I use. Yuzu Extract or Yuzu Juice Freeze-Dried Yuzu Zest Yuzu Kosho Yuzu Tea (Yuja Cha, Citron Tea) * Image source from Wikipedia.

The Herbivorous Butcher. Home-built "Bio Computer" runs Linux, grows wheatgrass. We've seen the wacky homebrew projects of computer hardware hacker Mike Schropp before.
Mindful Gizmag readers may recall his triple quad-core i7 LEGO PC housing that we looked at last July. But his latest project, the "Bio Computer," is rather more oddball, taking a turn distinctly towards the horticultural with a PC case adapted to ... grow wheatgrass. "I'm not complaining by any means, but I do feel as my basement becomes populated with more and more tech based projects that the environment is missing something organic, something natural to balance things out," writes Schropp, on his website, Total Geekdom.
But where you or I might buy in a cactus or two, an amaryllis or perhaps even go bonsai, Schropp opted to merge the organic with the inorganic, putting the waste heat from a PC to use with an integrated flowerbed. Well, not strictly a flowerbed. Source: Total Geekdom, via TreeHugger.
