The flayed skin is nastier than the sponge paint, hands down. A little serial-killer-esque to me. Sticking bits of corpse to furniture as decoration is gross and weird.

"Those really are some of the worst out there."

thank you SO MUCH for even delving into this, but maybe next time consult a vegan before doing an article that leans so heavily towards vegan products. I must echo that Teese, Daiya, and Cheezly should have been the ones tested. Testing FYH and the Rice cheese are like, say, writing an article that reviews chocolates and tasting gold foil wrapped chocolate coins and those "world's finest" bars that kids from schools sell door to door.

I'm pretty sure whole foods has a ban on foods that contain HFCS...that may have been lifted, though, I'm not sure.

Anyhow, I LOVE TJs. Whenever people talk about the food there being stale or nasty, I never understand what they are talking about. Perhaps the TJ's in larger cities just have a higher turnover so nothing has a chance to get stale in Chicago? I think its a great place for people who cook at home - I go to TJs for brown basmati rice, baking staples, alcohol free vanilla, almond milk, tofu, canned beans and tomatoes for chili, yukon gold potatoes, pink himalayan sea salt (in a grinder!), nuts, dried fruit, coffee, english breakfast tea for making iced sweet tea with, frozen fruit (insanely good quality, so flavorful) for smoothies and protein shakes, pasta, garlic, TONS of cheap cheap organic bananas - i eat one a day, whole grain bread, earth balance, frozen cubes of basil in seasons where I can't get it fresh or to just keep on hand to throw in soups/sauces when I'm out of the fresh stuff at home, sparkling water, trader joe's o's high fiber cereal, vegan sausages, soy yogurt, balsamic vinegar, peanut butter, jam...I get most of my produce at the farmer's market or through my CSA, with an occasional trip to Whole Foods for treats. It works out fabulously. Even their hand soaps and body washes and lotions are awesome.

Its so pretty but without a budget for glass doors...eek. I like to keep my windows open in the spring and fall, and I have a cat...would you like some food with your dust and pet hair?

Your apartment is a negative version of what I wish my apartment looked like. I love it.
