Not everyone has the luxury to travel to France for Bastille Day, but that doesn't mean you can't celebrate the French version of Independence Day right from your home town. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Check your local paper for French events. Many of the larger cities in the United States have cultural centers which plan Bastille Day events.
You can go to a French restaurant. Just about any French restaurant is sure to be honoring Bastille Day.
Throw a Bastille Day party at home. Grab some wine, cheese, crackers, and a few friends, and have your own tres francais party.
Create a gourmet French meal, complete with French wine. You might consider featuring champagne toasts, truffles, and bistro fare.
Of course, you'll want to top off any celebration with chocolate! Here are some delicious French recipes contributed by Harmony Sweets visitors that you can try:
Croissant Roulade au Chocolate with Marrons Glace
Double Chocolate Honey Bon-Bons

There is this place RDS in the city of Portsmouth ...
By: Mrs. G | 20-11-2008
There is this place RDS in the city of Portsmouth, VA, but you have to owe a business to recycle things using their services. I don't have a business and the city of Chesapeake, VA does not offer many services that are offered in other cities. I would like to recycle magazines, catalagos, paper board, what about the boxes where the febreeze deodorants are packed? I'm pretty sure those can be recycled. What about the corrugated carboard where the eggs are packed, and the actual eggs holder? I'm so frustrated because I know we don't do enough. I print both sides of the printing paper, what if I want to recycle that too. I have many questions. About electronics, unless you can actually show me physical evidence that my electronics are not going to end in China, I will keep them in my garage. Did you see the article in National Geographc and the 60 minutes show in TV. I need information. Is there a website with the latest information about recycling that gives you information by state and city?
