You don't have to wake up with a hangover that defeats the day after. Your immune system doesn't have to be completely depleted after a dozy. You don't have to wake up feeling listless and moody in the morning. Cocktails don't have to be such diet killers. You don't have to wake up with a hangover that defeats the day after.

Vanilla, blueberry, raspberry—you name it, it's everywhere. But you don't have to buy it by the bottle. Instead make smaller quantities of fresh infused vodka from organic providers. Infusing your own vodka is much greener because you can use what's seasonally available to make your eco-cocktail truly shine. Flavored vodkas have become all the rage in the past few years.

Don't bother with an expensive bottle of wine, just pick out a bargain bottle of whatever color you prefer, heat it with the other ingredients, and wait a while. David Lebovitz includes Cognac in his recipe which is traditional, but if you don't have it lying around it's just as nice without.

What’s the big deal? I think they look nice. A yard or garden that is well-kept, but still a little wild looking is more aesthetically pleasing to any nature lover, I'd say.

But this is no ordinary fox! This is a magic fox. As a reward for helping him out of the trap and not asking for anything in return, the fox gives the boy a jar. But this is no ordinary jar! This is a magic jar. When the boy takes the jar home, he finds that it fills itself and refills itself with pickles. Forever. The boy's family never goes hungry again. The end.
