thanks for all the actual cleaning advice, Kitchn peeps! Not really looking for etiquette advice - I'm a grownup (most of the time! ha) so I can take care of that part myself. Also thanks Kitchn for the other link! lots of good info there...

I made these tonight and they are intense and YUMMY - but they're much more like a flourless chocolate cake that you'd eat with a fork than a brownie. Great though. You can't taste the lime as much as you'd think, but the salt is a great flavor combo with the chocolate.

We made one every year, with peppercorns for eyes and caraway seeds for the nose. But I had no idea you could BUY them already made! Or that there were molds for them. Cool!

My Mom packed awesome lunches in my Snoopy lunchbox (w/matching Snoopy thermos, sometimes filled with tomato soup!) and ALWAYS seven pennies scotch taped to the inside so I could buy milk : )

Does anyone else remember the "Hangover breakfast" at the old Chez What on Alberta? Sigh. Those were the days.

thanks everybody!
@lampeam: That is a super cool silver chair in your link - although somehow I still don't believe I could just spray paint them.
@amyanne - I'll look into that-- thanks!
On another note - I keep seeing sets like this on eBay, and I *only* ever see them with blue vinyl, so I'm wondering if it's some "classic" color I shouldn't mess with. Not that it would stop me : )

• Tortas from a truck in Rosarita

• The meatball sub from Salumi in Seattle

Also I just gave up meat but am DYING for a homemade ham sandwich on good honey wheat bread. Le sigh.

Sadly no quirky flea markets, but if you like funky interiors/gift stores, you should go to Cargo @ NW13th & Flanders - it's a warehouse-sized Asian-themed import store. You could spend a whole afternoon there. SO amazing.

I think it's funny that the company name could be abbreviated as "The BM Blanket" (The Better Marriage Blanket)

I just brought back vanilla from the Dominican Republic last fall - I wonder if it's the same as Haitian?
