The city I live in collects leaves in the fall, shreds them, and makes long compost piles. They turn them occasionally and by the next summer the stuff if a sweet-smelling, awesome mix. If it gets wet and sits, it smells like a swamp. $7 a yard plus delivery charge, so it pays to buy full loads.
When I finally started restoring my 64 Chevy last winter, my response to the Arizona boycott was to buy the parts I needed from Impala Bob’s in Mesa, I must’ve spent at least 3k, but just knowing I did my small part to p*ss off the left, PRICELESS!
You will get the best hummus and falafel ever in those two countries. In Israel at least your typical falafel/shwarma place (joint) will have a multitude of condiments and add ons for your pita bread with the felafal or shwarma.

It might be turkey instead of the beef or lamb you think it is. If you like olives you will find hundreds of different kinds

Your town has a great policy. That’s the kind of eco stuff I really like. Humus=gold. And global warming is BS
Where I live it is so hot that wood chips in a pile compost pretty quickly. People mulch with them and make compost (humus) with them.
Be of good humus and good cheer this Christmas season
Maybe after you get your new camera, you could get your subscribers to chip in a dollar or two apiece and get yourself a case of Sabra Brand Hummus (Roasted Red Pepper Variety.)
Then you could take pictures of yourself eating it and post them on your blog. That would surely show those Mohammedans what for.
Their heads would most certainly explode!
Woo Hoo!!! Yay!!
Thanks for the info,friend.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Thanks to this boycott, I tried Sabra hummus for the first time. Heavenly! I will definitely be a repeat customer.
I take the hummus and smash it their faces!
Disgusting!
First get rid of Hamas, then we can bring Hummus to
the table
