Vic, I'm with you, I never drank much water when I lived in the city. Only when I escaped and moved back to well-water country did I realize my water intake increased. Go figger, eh?
As for using plastic milk jugs, they're a part of life...might as well use them over and over and over. If we look around us at all the plastic items we have I wonder how much we could do without.
Hetty, I googled Oncoba spinosa...it looks a little different but I'll ask my friend who grows these, she'll definitely know that botanical name. (*grin. I like that "fried egg plant" name though!) :>)
Back later...gotta go rustle us some grub.
