Tracipants- you obviously have no clue. If a little "portion control" and a "little exercise" worked for the people who these products are marketed to, then there wouldn't _be_ the need for these p...
No coffee table books here. You might catch a glimpse of the book I'm currently reading, but that's it.
Partly it's because my coffee table is too small. On it, I already have a Chine...
I once had a drafting desk like that, maybe a bit bigger, because it was a beast. Seriously. I had to take it apart just to get it inside my house. It was wider than my largest door. Of course, i h...
Worst color ever on a wall. I had the bright idea to do a venetian plaster treatment on my dining room walls. I chose a brown. Well, that brown had a good bit of green/yellow in it. What looked sop...
For a short while years ago, Ikea did a few reproductions of Gustavian antiques. In particular, they did a chandelier that was super pretty. It had some crystals on it, but just enough. It was the ...
I also once had a panasonic that I hated and I could never find bags for. Then I bought a dyson and it's been pure love ever since then. It's been about three, four years with the dyson. I also had...
I have a horseshoe hanging over my front door, but it's there more for sentimental reasons than superstition. It was given to me by an old college roommate, originally coming from one of her horses...
They might be "functioning" still, but let me tell you, there is no way I'd lug one of those fully packed through an airport when i could have a lightweight modern rolling suitcase.
I totally did the stack of baskets thing in my house in the 90s, though I did it in my living room, not the kitchen. I stored my stash of yarn in them. It is a nice way to get a little extra storag...
Recycled all the way, if for no other reason than the stupid low flow toilet we have won't flush the thick stuff. As it is, it usually takes two flushes for a little bit of the thin stuff. Yes, a ...
I hate the scamwows I bought. They don't pick up moisture as well as a basic cotton towel, they've got an awful texture, they smell funny and wash them once and they turn into a shabby shrunken mess.
I lived without a TV for 12 years. I recently (three months ago) bought one and got cable, a blu-ray player, etc.
Its not like it's on all the time, but I do enjoy my TV.
Once upon a time ago, I bought a fixit-upper house. Every thing that got done was done by me. Over the course of a couple of years, I realized, I hated it. I hate DIY stuff! I hate painting. I hate...
A washable reusuable container is your best bet, if you ask me. You don't even need to go the fancy aladdin lunchbox way. I got some rubbermaid containers at the grocery store that were just exactl...

I got suckered into buying these and they work worse than just a plain cotton terry towel does. Skip them.

My thoughts precisely. I can see no reason at all for that bit of mean to have been posted to AT.

No- you don't want to boil miso because it is a live food, like yogurt. It's a fermented product. Boiling kills the useful bacteria.

I had a west elm daybed that doubled as a sofa for a while, but no matter how many cushions I put on the back, it wasn't comfortable to sit on.
A Gimlet is my favored drink. Make with really good gin and real lime juice, not Rose's Lime.

fwiw- collards are my favorite green to put into a raw green smoothie. They go really well with frozen mangos and an apple.
