Rin Tin Tin! It's almost Earth Day (April 22nd)! We've heard some great ideas from some of you lately about how you are re-using the tins -- please, please, please send photos. Here is one from a total rioter, Ted Ko (pictured here in San Francisco), who is storing iPod accessories in his tin. I know there are more out there, and we would love to have your photos and quotes by April 19, so we can put them on our Rin Tin Tin section of our website in time for Earth Day 2006.
That's so cool. I have an iPod, I will have to try that. :-)

Cool! I don't own an ipod, but Lindsay is always listening to hers in my smart car.

Found your blog 'cuz it got featured on the typepad login page. Well done!
I'm from a farm in Michigan too (cherries & peaches, no corn), and I also lived several years in the highlands of Guatemala. We loved coming down out of the cold mountains, down to the hot coast and drive by the cacao fincas. I could never stop looking at those bizarre trees when the pods were ready to pick. We used to buy homemade "chocolate casero" from our neighbor to drink sin leche. Now I'm in Turkey and miss all that. No cacao here, but we do have plenty of pistachios and almonds and sun dried apricots.
Were any of your producers affected by the hurricanes? Maybe for Earth Day you could support some local initiatives for sustainable agriculture?
