sweet potato samosas. made them for movie night a few years ago, darjeeling limited was the movie, so seemed appropriate.
It's now a go- recipe for all events!

We installed our 'starter' kitchen in a reno house last year.
I desperately wanted cabinets to reach ceiling, but it was a significant enough cost difference that it had to be shelved.
It is my 10 year plan. No compromises on real kitchen!

are plantings an option? if so perhaps thuja trees or bamboo?
I have a triplex next door (only a single story) w no fencing budget, am looking @ a couple of thujas or similar & woven bamboo fencing from home depot.

is this a pic of your house? if so, well, even if not, it's lovely! I have a foursquare/ bungalow-ish house w concrete porch & steps, am deciding between simply staining it kindof bronze (matches hardware, house is dark reddish brown brick) or having the concrete stamped to look like some sort of stone.maybe sconces similar to this: http://www.lowes.com/pd_157380-22685-6041-44_4294857032+4294867538_4294937087_?productId=1037089&Ns=p_product_prd_lis_ord_nbr|0||p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl_Ceiling%2BFixtures_4294857032%2B4294867538_4294937087_%3FVa%3Dtrue%26Ns%3Dp_product_prd_lis_ord_nbr%7C0%7C%7Cp_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&facetInfo=Ceiling%20Fixtures

girl meets boy. boy moves to another state. boy asks girl to join him. girl stupidly sells client base for business & moves for a contract job. Girl is just smart enough to get own apartment. Apartment is not move-in ready, fridge is filled with rotting meat, etc... Boy dumps girl after 2 weeks...
At end of contract girl descides to move back home, reserves moving truck, day of move, no moving trucks are available, girl drives 60 miles the other way to get truck, it rains, flash floods after a long drought, newly secured truck has a leaky windshield, take a lunch, take wrong interstate exit & head back the wrong way, 20 miles later, get turned around, truck breaks down just over state line, spend several hours @ Hillbilly Haven awaiting tow truck... lets just say that stereotypes are there for a reason, stay @ hotel- sneak in 2 angry cats, and one hyper dog, 3 days later make it to new desitination.
moving truck company charges for the truck that was reserved, but not held, they also charge for additional days & mileage while other truck is being repaired, fridge stolen out of old apartment after I left, management company tried to sue me for it.
Anyhoo, a trip that should have taken 6-8 hours & cost about $500, took 4.5 days & cost almost $2k. took about a year to resolve it all.
I'm not moving again til I go to a rest home!

I am a huge fan of animal print. There can be a fine line between Ralph Lauren and Peg Bundy. and both have thier place.

i worked 2 an antique store years ago & was turned on to 'nevr-dull wadding polish', is sold @ rest hardware- is sold @ walmart & similar cheaper! is a can of cotton wadding, you can reuse til it's too gross to touch, use on all metals. the antique shop lady was told about it by a Harley guy who used it for the chrome on his bike!

This is fab! Am a little lusty for your tile! We're nearing the end of a 3 year major reno on what can only be described as a big-scary-crackhouse, craigslist, lowes clearance & habitat for humanity were lifesavers!

hold out for an swesome sale/ clearance on a big ticket item you list for!
I got a $100 gift cert for a furniture store, figured I could, maybe, get a lamp. when I went they were closing out a funriture line & I got an awesome $600 Dining table for $100!

these just might need to be easter cookies!
