As one of the first organic cheese producers in the United States, Cowgirl Creamery is very, very green. But at almost $2 an ounce, their cheeses are anything but frugal. They’re delicious and a fabulous splurge though. I’m blogging about my tour of the creamery over at my other blog so if you’re interested in hearing about it head over there to do so.

- Money Saving Ideas to Spruce Up Walls I love finding stuff for my walls that’s a little non-traditional. I’ve shown you how I’ve framed postcards and vintage calendar pages. In other rooms of my house, I have framed concert posters, embroidery by my great aunt, paintings by my grandmother, handmade greeting cards, and prints of photographs from iStockphoto.com.
- Use Your Wii to Stream Netflix to Your TV My parents don’t have a Wii but I got my mom to order the disk any way so that I can use it and it’s pretty awesome. Doesn’t cost anything extra and I can stream instantly from a pretty wide selection of media. My only complaint is that my 30 year old microwave interrupts my wireless network so I can’t stream a movie and make popcorn at the same time though.
- Volcano Raises Asparagus Demand in UK That volcano in Iceland has forced the UK into eating local if they want fresh produce. Asparagus is one of my favorite veggies so I wouldn’t be complaining.
