Artisan cured meats, fresh sausages, and cooked specialties made with "sustainably raised, heritage-breed pork, Italian sea salt, and the freshest spices with the rarest ingredient of all: time. Our small-batch, hands-on methods and traditional cold curing techniques can take up to ten times longer than other producers'. Why sacrifice efficiency? Because taking our time lets us focus every step of our process on a single goal: great taste. Fine salumi are more than mere salted meats. At their best, salumi connect us to the earth, reveal the essence of the whole animal, demonstrate respect for our ancestors, and inspire our humanity."  I discovered this place while on a trip to San Francisco, and it is absolutely the best. Truly a labor of love. Read their website to learn more about their philosophy of food,

The best soap for baby things. "Soapnuts" are nature's laundry soap. They are the dried fruit of the Chinese Soapberry tree, which contain saponin, a natural cleaner used for thousands of years to clean clothes. These completely unprocessed nuts--used by people all over the world--release their soap when the shell comes in contact with water. You just drop a few nuts in a small cotton bag and place it in the washer with your items to be washed. I tried these and everything came out clean and soft. No fragrance, no residues. After several loads of wash (I got three loads from mine), you can just toss the remaining shells in the compost pile. Site also contains instructions for making a liquid cleaner from soap nuts that can be used for washing humans and pets, fruit and vegetables, spot treating laundry, hand washing delicates, cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, washing cars and plants, repelling pests, cleaning jewelry, and washing windows (they sell it ready-made now too, with lavender and tea-tree oil added). About 50 cents a load. "Maggie's Pure Land reserves the Soapberry harvest years in advance, providing families with guaranteed income from living Soapberry trees. By using Maggie's Soap Nuts you are preserving tropical forests! You are supporting real people in their local economies, cultures and communities! You are using the safest, most natural product available!"
