gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. but still can't sort search results by date? come onnnnnn.

You'd think a famed chef would have connections. Can you imagine another celeb chef doing this? It's a strange thought.

This actually reinforces my recent decision on one of my New Year's resolutions: to cut back on amazon.com dependency, if not cut it out entirely. They're anti-union and known to mistreat employees, they're the most wasteful shippers in existence, and they're attempting to monopolize book and other sales, rather than promote healthy competition. It's time.

cannot wait to try all these recipes! good call on subbing salmon in other recipes. i'll fly through these cans in no time now ...

thanks again everyone for the great and creative tips :)

i have a crazy-organized method using gmail and its labels feature. wrote a post about it here: http://homesomethinghome.wordpress.com/2011/01/28/cookbookery-a-la-gmail/

basically: creating labels for food types (e.g., meats, vegetarian, soups, sweets), then emailing myself a recipe i found online and liked and labeling it so it becomes easily searchable. best part is it's right on my phone for kitchen use when i'm ready to make something. and quick to browse at the farmers market :)

hey you #2s! what paint brands/colors are you using? i want that gray-green!!

do a lot of people have experience with faux fireplaces spontaneously combusting?

i love the look. it's like a "natural" bookshelf--especially great when you don't have room for another piece of furniture. had it in an old apt of mine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kicsi_paprika/4020812381/in/set-72157622483647227

These two are my staples and have been big hits at BBQs, both cool and refreshing -- and best of all, cheap and super-easy to prepare.

Arugula and Goat Cheese Pasta Salad http://cookieandkate.com/2011/arugula-and-goat-cheese-pasta-salad/#ixzz1Ke1t5JaD

and

Honey Apple Slaw
4 tbsp. Non-fat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp. O Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp. O Honey Apple Vinegar
Salt and Pepper to taste
5 c. finely sliced green cabbage (about ½ a head)
1 c. Julienned Fuji apples
½ c. roasted almond or pecan slivers (optional)

In a small bowl whisk together the first 3 ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste.

In a medium bowl combine the finely sliced cabbage & julienned green apples. Just before serving, mix the dressing with the slaw. Sprinkle with the roasted almond or pecan slivers if desired.

Both recipes last several days (and taste better chilled).

@ jmorri26 haha yup! it was vacuum-sealed though, which i was told made it, uh, less bad. i haven't made a habit of it though :)

the entire mattress is photoshopped, let alone the pillows. and who knows what else.

regardless, that this contest is completely based around square footage, it sort of behooves entrants to include full square footage ... which in this case should include whatever bathroom (and perhaps kitchen) he shares, no? even if it's shared, it's part of your living space.

this is kind of perfect for the apartment i just moved into last week. it's a standing shower only and even narrower than i'd expected--and barely any shelf space, to boot. i'll be trying this out this week!
