I agree with all who are horrified at people eating with the TV on. Even worse, I am guilty of the same thing. My husband and I sit hunched over the coffee table eating and watching MSNBC every night, while our lovely Danish modern dining room table collects mail and electronic devices. I've tried to institute a dinner-at-the-table-with-background-music rule but it fails every time. :( Any helpful suggestions to change this terrible habit are greatly appreciated!

I do what i call " speed trials". Two minutes of electric toothbrushing = 2 minutes of wiping down bathroom counters and getting hair off the bathroom floor. 90 seconds of heating milk in the microwave for my morning " latte" = 90 seconds of wiping down whatever needs it in the kitchen. I could go on and on, the possibilities are (almost) endless. Multitasking rules! 20 Home Tasks to Get Done During Downtime |

@nanamomsers-- OMG you are the only other person I've come across who knows the word "slumgullion"! And what a great dish it is. My great grandmother was from Missouri and her slumgullion recipe has been passed down throught the generations. My Mom and i made a batch a couple of days after Cristmas. I like adding fresh corn kernels or arugula but the "old fashioned" version is the best. I wonder what the origin of the word is? Will have to look it up. In the meantime, enjoy and cheers to you!

I am making these right now--for the second time. I use a combination of reduced fat milk and fat free cream, and use truffle infused salt. No sauteed veggies either to reduce the steps in the recipe. They turn out absolutely divine--browned to perfection on the outside and souffle-like on the inside. They freeze and reheat in the microwave well too, believe it or not. LOVE!!! Make-Ahead Recipe: Crustless Mini-Quiches |

I just tried the magic eraser on my tub and shower doors and IT IS AMAZING! And cleaned everything in about a quarter of the time it would have taken with the usual methods.

My husband and I bought a TemperPedic bed in 2008, primarily for the non-transfer of motion properties. My husband loved it immediately. It took me about 2.5 months to get used to it--I woke up every day sore for a while. But our salesman said it could take some people a while to adjust, and I did. I realize that the discomfort was my spine "unkinking". After that 2.5 months passed, all the kinks were unkinked, I now sleep like a baby every night, and I wake up every morning feeling fantastic. This bed really changed my life in a great way! Review: TEMPUR-Cloud Supreme w/ Adjustable Base A Year in Bed |

After sleeping on the cheapie mattress I purchased 13 years before, my husband and I bought a Tempur-Pedic bed in 2007. There is a reason they let you test it for 90 days before your purchase is final. I had chronic mild back pain from too much 21st century living (long hours sitting in front of a computer, poor posture, etc). The Tempur-Pedic bed was not the most pleasant of experineces for the first two months of use--I woke up stiff and sore every day. But then something magical happened and I started sleeping like a baby and waking up feeling perfect! I think my back pain those first two months was the result of my spine readjusting to a more supportive mattress, and now I wouldn't think of sleeping on anything else. Perfect for me, and my husband loved it from day one. Some Things I've Learned So Far A Year in Bed |
