yum. i couldn't stand to part with 6 cups of basil (it's still growing by me) so i subbed in 3 cups of fresh spinach. delish, though i recommend about twice as much cheese.

apartmentratings.com can also be useful... and Yelp has some apartment manager ratings, though they all seem pretty slumlordy.

apartmentratings.com is another way to try to avoid skeezy building managers. yelp.com rates them also.

i love it! i just signed up and am the only poster in my bit of SoCal at the moment. i also tend to facebook my extras but that's usually VeggieGifting - still fun!

Saedie - great info, thanks!

any recommendations for smoking neighbors? the building next to ours is full of smokers and it seeps right into our bedroom window. but it's a group house and i believe they can't smoke inside, s...
