What caught my eye around the web this week:

Not to sure about this one but evidently, if you want perfect jeans you shouldn't wash them.  This article at Smart Spending caught my eye as it came by on Twitter.  Personal hygiene issues aside, if you have jeans with a little stretch in them, they lose their shape pretty quickly and you have to wash them to get it back, don't you?

Eating local is a wonderful idea but have you ever thought about what it would mean to be a strict locavore?  Virginia Postrel has and in this excellent article in the Wall Street Journal she gives us a peek into the reality.

Big Little Wolf is wondering whatever happened to flowers; and notes and chance meetings.  Is it really Match.com or nothing?  I hope not.

Have you ever thought about making your own goat cheese?  Scordo has and he's got a recipe.  Tantalizing!

I'm still making my way west towards Houston.  Right now I'm in Oxford, MS visiting my son.  I should finally arrive in Houston on Saturday afternoon, ready to settle in at my new housesit!
