I used to think it silly to make the bed since well... you just get back in it later that day! However, I've been converted. I started making our bed each day when we moved into a loft since you can see it all the time. It makes me happy to see it clean and tidy, ready for me to pull down the covers and slip into it. :)

Sure, why not? Especially if it's just a generic, icky piece that you don't like.

I despise ceiling fans! But, alas, there were two in our loft when we moved in and we've yet to remove them. I can deal with a sexy, sleek, minimal one if I must, but these are terribly hideous with the four lights popping out of it. SO ugly!

Is it just me or is the plastic basket idea just junky and cheap? Not a fan.

I had Sweet Corn Ice Cream a couple years ago which was actually had sweet corn in the ice cream and topped with caramel popcorn with a blackberry puree at one of my favorite restaurants here in San Diego. It was delicious! By Pastry Chef Jack Fischer. MMM! But.. my favorite thing he makes is the Nine-Ten Half-Baked Chocolate Cake.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I just can't get into pegboard. It seems so cheap and cluttered and I would never want it... some of these are cute, just not for me. I don't like things hanging all over the walls unless it's artwork, bikes, maybe an odd unexpected item, but not kitchen pots, pans and tools...

Wouldn't the mayo leave greasy spots on walls that aren't painted with a sheen/gloss like bathroom and kitchen paints? I've been in plenty of homes where the paint is flat and this would just leave more of a mess.

I have a large filter container in my fridge, it's not a pitcher. I almost never take it out of the fridge. First thing in the morning when I get my glass of cold water, I grab a glass pitcher and fill it then pour into the filtered water container in the fridge. Same idea, but I fill the entire upper reservoir each time and sometimes twice a day because I drink like a fish!

I don't take it out of the fridge because I LOVE cold water. My husband always takes it out, sets it in the sink to fill, waits for the water to drain down and refill again, but he NEVER puts it back. Then, it's warm and I dont like it warm and we don't always have ice handy. :) This is why I keep it in the fridge at all times and just refill there!

Anal... I know.

@CLGOGGANS and @BENITAS - I would wonder if you are using the newspaper that has collected gunky oil and grease residue that you could have a grease fire hazard. The potential is there, right?

I don't worry with cleaning this area since no one can see it as other users have commented. I'm fine cleaning it 2-4 times a year with a rag and vinegar/baking soda/lemon juice cocktail.

We live around the corner from Nobu in San Diego... we haven't tried in in the almost 2 years we've lived here. I do believe it's time to try it!

@MRSBAUGHN I wouldn't use mayo either. I'm going to try avocado or just leave it out. YUM!

I love spicy tuna. Been wanting to make it at home! Wonder if I could sub avocado for the mayo. I'd rather have the avo fat that mayo fat/processed-ness.
