I didn't realize how Brussels Sprouts grow (or that they're called BrusselS sprouts and not Brussel sprouts) until a couple of years ago when I saw them on a giant stalk at a farmer's market and was all "What is THAT?!" I never really ate them as a kid so I guess I never stopped to think about how they grow.

I'm not sure who can give their dog a bath in 15 minutes? Is this including prep time to get out the supplies, towels, hose, actually washing/rinsing the dog while they try to run away from you, giving them a few minutes to shake off, toweling off the dog, rinsing yourself free of all the soap/hair your dog shook all over you, then putting everything away. Maybe it's just me...

I've seen a lot of recipes lately on Pinterest and elsewhere for mug cakes, small individual serving cakes in a mug that you just microwave to bake. I haven't actually tried it, but it sounds perfect for making small portions.

Or you can just do what I do, bake something and then have you and your significant other/roommate take the rest into work the next day. My coworkers love it when I send out a baked good alert email.

Really? An empty unfinished attic with a bed and a chair and another bedroom with a totally unmade bed? I like the wallpaper mentioned, but that came with the house. Other than that, I see no "design" in these rooms at all.

This is the tikka masala recipe I've always used. 2 alterations to this: take out about 90% of the salt listed for the marinade and the sauce, and double the sauce for the amount of chicken they mention.

Another one that I just bought for my kitchen a few weeks ago: http://popchartlab.com/collections/prints/products/the-splendiferous-array-of-culinary-tools

LL Bean used to make (not sure if they still do) these flat beanbag kind of things that you put in the microwave to heat up a bed or lay over a sore shoulder. It's great, it always smells like cinnamon oatmeal when it comes out of the microwave. If it's really cold I'll say it's a "bunny night" meaning I'm heating up my bunny shaped beanbag heater.

This is scary! I've avoided HFCS as much as I can, but it seriously is in EVERYTHING. Even some canned tomato paste at the grocery store has it in it. I have to search for the brands that only list tomatoes under ingredients.
