Last year, my CSA would send out an email the morning of pickup day (pickup was Wednesday evening) listing what was in the baskets. It was really helpful to have a heads-up on the contents, so I c...
My boyfriend has done a couple of "house portraits" in watercolour for people, one as a gift and another on commission. Both were done shortly before a move as mementos.
High value indeed. A sheet costs (around here) about $1800, and the edges need to be cut with saws with a particular blade rpm speed to get good results.
Just last week, I saw a Steve Raichlin show where he demonstrates that soaked skewers and non-soaked skewers will catch fire at the same rate. He advises creating a fire guard -- placing a piece o...
mariec,
Incandescent light bulbs also don't put out all wavelengths of light, which is why "therapeutic" full-spectrum lights exist for people suffering from SAD (seasonal affective disorder)...
I've got one that has two notches in an extended lever, that effectively eliminates the need to turn the corkscrew a second time to get the full leverage effect.
Montreal....St-Laurent Boulevard, just above Prince Arthur. I love that flower shop! They always seem to have new and brilliant ways of displaying cut flowers or foliage.
The very basic non-negociables:
- counter space
- double sink
- vaguely logical stove/fridge/sink layout
- room for two people not to bump into one another
- somewhere...
Another shortie (only 5'-0"!) here. At work, I had them rig up a customized desk for me with adjustable legs from Ikea. Even then, I have to use a brick as a footrest to feel totally comfortable....

@angorian, Perhaps I haven't been looking too hard, but I've never seen maple sugar bricks here. Where do you find them?

I think I'd rather play around with a theremin...maybe I'm just old tech.

I sometimes find that my grill won't light if it's raining out (or when it's crazy sticky humid). Is that a grill problem, or just me?
wenkexin, That sounds amazing! I've got to try that soon.

Nikita's comment reminded me....no mint for me please. Perhaps I overdosed on mint tea during a trip to Morocco, but I couldn't stand it after that.

I thought the same things as milquetoast....only I imagine the effectiveness is vastly decreased by the mesh netting.

I often use a sprinkle of salt.

Reminds me too much of an anorexic friend who wouldn't eat anything except catabolic foods...
I didn't know what to make for dinner tonight and this is absolutely perfect!
