I think it also helps to give yourself something to look forward to. I planned a weekend away with my honey in mid-February to add a little spark of anticipation to January and early February, and...
I can see how the couch might bother you a bit, planetk, but it's not realistic to think that you'll find someone with no romantic past. We have a wood sculpture that my boyfriend received as a we...

I have a hard time sleeping without my boyfriend. He sometimes stays up all night working and I wake up several times during the night flailing around trying to find him in the bed; when I finally...
If you want the biggest bang for the buck, I'd replace the comforter (or buy a cover for the one you have) with one that incorporates various browns, black, and green. That will tie things togethe...
Cooked up a storm yesterday: apple pie, pork fried rice, filling for pasties, vegetable stock, roasted garlic/garlic oil. Today I'm making Medfuni, a Middle-Eastern casserole of rice, ground beef...
I agree, Sian; you should definitely save and use the pulp for something else, as that's a highly nutritious part of the fruit and veg you're using. In the case of some things (like apples) there ...

I have a version of mac and cheese that I make that has olives, green chilies, ground beef, mushrooms, and lots of garlic.

If you're counting calories, then you don't want to eat too much of any type of fat, since it's so calorie-dense. But as far as healthy eating goes, the canola oil here is infinitely preferable to...
