bowlofjesslove: right! we still giggle every time we have to decide between "steak with lightning bolts shooting at it" or "hollow brioche"

I'm all for compromise, but what if your sig other's taste/eye for design is just really really bad/nonexistent? Yet he still wants to have input? And he can't articulate why he hates one thing but loves another? And you're in the foreign service so basically you get to move and redecorate every 3-4 years?

I'm doomed.

Clean up and sing along (loudly) to whatever the ipod is serving up.

weird....I was literally going to write the same thing deliriumsama! Hello Dolly's are my go-to dessert. So easy, so delicious, so many memories of making them with my mom!

wait, but i store my bread in the fridge, and it's fine...otherwise it gets moldy before I can eat it!

Thanks everyone!! Waffles turned out great - just ended up doing them to order and fending off the hordes with egg casserole while they waited.

Next time:
1. I will make lemon curd!
2. I will try yeasted waffles!
3. I will DEFINITELY try some savory options - the recipe for the bacon stuffed waffles sounds ridiculously good.
4. I need a bigger apt/kitchen so I can have more people over for waffles!

Leah says "like" about 20 times in every sentence. And she talks in baby talk to Hosea. And she sent out raw fish! I am so annoyed that she keeps getting saved despite parading around like a vapid 14 year old in a chef suit.

I grew up in a house where every monday was intense, all-day cleaning day. god forbid you didn't have school and mom needed to vacuum your room! and then if you got out of bed and left foot indentations in the freshly vacuumed carpet...watch out!!

I kind of went the complete opposite way for a while, but have settled into a once-a-month full cleaning of the apt. What makes a huge difference is cleaning up the little messes as they happen and putting things away after you use them. It's just common sense!

A few years ago we tried to institute a friendly family/neighbors kickball game. All was well at first, until the dads started getting a little competitive. My 8 year old niece ended up taking a line drive to the face, which left her with the nubby imprint of the big red ball on her cheek and not so fond memories of that "tradition"!!!!

Coming from MD, boiling crabs is an inherent part of life. Nothing wrong with it as long as we're thankful, respectful and understanding of the whole process that brought the crabs to your plate in the first place.
