"Green" Lawn mower

Couple of weeks ago we found an old manual lawn mover sitting in the back of the shed. Our "old school" non PC gasoline powered mower hasn't been working well for quite a while and we decided to give the manual mower we found a try. We're officially in love with it now: it is absolutely green, requires no additional energy, cuts grass cleanly and hardly takes up any space. Check out Dhruba's effortless mowing below. If you are interested in getting one for yourself, see National Geographic's Green guide

Chicago 1930's

Our dear friends Balint and Daniel visited Das Foods headquarters last weekend. Left to their own devices because we were attending GreenFest Chicago they stumbled across this fabulous photo op in Chicago- apparently there was a period movie being shot near Chicago Board of Trade. Enjoy these pictures of 1930's Chicago- this is how it must have looked like!

Das Caramelini in Green Fest Chicago

Our friends from Sustain.org and Familyfarmed.org invited us to share a booth with them and a few other sustainable Midwestern producers at Green Fest Chicago this past weekend (5/16 and 5/16). Over 30,000 people attended the festival and enjoyed our delicious Das Caramelini. Some satisfied customers even texted their relatives about Das Caramelini- how great is that?

Make a Statement-Design for the Cure

Das Caramelini is on the move! On 5/8 Katie, Rita and Dhruba fed Das Caramelini to fab and glam attendees of Make a Statement- Design for the Cure, a super-fabulous runway show in Chicago benefitting AIDS Foundation of Chicago. Steven Rosengard from Bravo's Project Runway hosted the show and loved our caramels! We saw our very 1st runway show: apparently this season empire waist dresses are still in!
