My dining room is my library and computer room. One entire wall is shelves, I have wireless components so is a breeze to clear if I need the big table for dining. I have an old dresser that serves as landing strip and storage for office supplies and a sofa for quiet reading away from the TV. The table is pushed against the shelves to hide connections and make more room.

I have a permanent outbox in my garage (from previous cures). I sorted my CDs and DVDs and placed several in the outbox. I even found two VCR tapes, and I haven't owned a VCR in years!

Bought the flowers and split them (good idea, Maxwell). I placed one bowl by the fireplace and the second on the kitchen window sill. (of course then I noticed that the window was dirty, so I had to clean it, so... more than 20 minutes but well worth it!)

My favorite uses of gremolata are on a bean salad and on panfried fish.
