For us is wasn't about the space, light or noise. It was about a dream we thought we'd never have. We move down one floor to the apartment directly below the one we were renting, the week after we signed the closing papers!

Knives! If there was a fire and I could take one thing (my husband and dog were already safe and sound) I would take my knives!

Break out your seasoning and marinades. Don't forget even the best cuts of meat will be bland without salt.

Emmi, I agree in the case of forest growth but from the photo and description that seems to be urban wood. Not much "circle of life" on a curb in Brooklyn, they just save that hunk of wood from the garbage truck. Free-cycling at it's best.

I use the same basic menu each week.

Our week goes something like this....
Soup
Veggie burgers
Eggs
Pasta
Stir-fry
Grilled Veggies
Pizza (Frozen from Fresh direct)

This makes an easy and very versatile menu. I just need to decide what type of each dish we are going to have.

So far this week we've had...
Spicy Vegetable Soup
Home made black bean burgers with roasted potatoes
Shrimp Fajita (this is in my stir-fry Categorie)
Oven roasted veggies over polenta with feta cheese

I shop on the weekends and write out a menu to go on the fridge. Each night's meal is just a matter of deciding what we're hungry for.

I also make double, so dinner is the next days lunch.
