I live in a studio apartment, with an open kitchen. I don't see what's such a big deal with people seeing your dirty dishes? No one lives in a model home or a magazine shoot 24/7. Even if you don't have an open kitchen, guests might be in the kitchen anyway, as that's where people tend to congregate. I would be far more embarrassed by people seeing how dirty my bathroom usually is.

If I'm having an actual party, no kids. Kids should be in bed sleeping at that time, not terrorizing my cats and having tantrums because they are tired and cranky.

I just have my macbook and phone remember the password that I got off the back of the modem. I don't have to remember it since my devices do it.

If you're doing backyard compost you can avoid some of these items, but my city has a municipal compost system. For example we can put meat in the bins. It gets picked up every two weeks, or every week in the summer, and goes to a facility to be made into compost.

Does the dressing really ever get to the rest of the salad if the jar is so well packed? Or is that the key, not packing it so tightly?

Yeah, but then your stand mixer would have to out all the time, you'd have to wash all those parts, and it would cost a lot to buy all those attachments. Not to mention that if the power goes out but you still need to make food, what are you going to do?

You can also buy stainless steel water bottles. Or buy a plastic BPA free one. There are a ton of options out there.

Maybe ok for a play room but I wouldn't trust the kids to not mark on everything else.

I don't have a car, can't afford one. So it's not really a preference so much as a necessity to take transit.

I would make this but probably not put in the asparagus. I find it gets gross if they cook too long.

Will you be doing a needs assessment before you start the class? I don't know if you've planned courses before, but if you can send out a little questionnaire to the participants beforehand, you can get a few clues to what kind of things they want to learn. You've already received a lot of great tips on what to cook, but just thought I would mention this. Good luck :)

I do think a lot of the images that I see on here are of homes or rooms with stuff just for the sake of having stuff.

You can buy pass the no colour ink thing. I have a Canon printer and have never replaced the colour cartridges. You just have to hold down RESET until the printer starts making noises again.

I print knitting patterns sometimes, shipping labels, coupons. Sometimes I have to print off stuff to send to student loans. Still, I don't print often.
