Ahhh always an issue for me. What to eat when I get home from the gym? That salad in the photo looks delicious!

That rule made me sit back and stare in shock. Who makes FIFTY TIMES their rent?! The only way I got around this is I moved to Astoria (a notoriously cheaper neighborhood) and I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with my boyfriend. I would never be able to afford it myself but with our combined incomes we're doing okay.

And for good measure, a SATC quote: "If there were unlimited apartments in New York, we'd all be single forever!"

I love this post, and not just for people living in a new city. I find myself at 28 years old, living in the same city, but with most of college friends moving away. It's time to meet some new people and I could never really figure out how. This article is a great start!

My rent is EXACTLY 30% of my post-tax income, and I never realized until this post. Patting myself on the back as we speak.

I hate that weird, slimy texture they acquire in liquids so I avoid adding them to anything soupy. I sprinkle them on my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! I like the crunch and somehow it makes the treat feel a little healthier.

It's fair to get a discussion going, isn't it? And others have agreed. I actually love dried fruit! But all in moderation.

My teeth hurt just thinking about how much sugar is in these.

As a whole, this apartment is a little cold for my taste but I got a million ideas for my own home from all the detail here! The set of frames hanging from the molding, the vintage clock in the kitchen... so perfect.

I am so incredibly impressed by this story, and dinner looks INCREDIBLE! The only thing I kept thinking was, How could you enjoy your brother's wedding? It just looks like so much stress and work and worry on a day that's supposed to be enjoyed by all loved ones involved.

I love these! Especially becoming familiar with ratios and relying on intuition more in the kitchen.

@pearmelon I couldn't disagree more about knife skills. I took a class on knife skills at the French Culinary Institute and it taught me SO much, even though I'm just a home cook. If nothing else I'm safer with knives because I now know how to properly use them.
