My grandmother used one of these (shaped like a shell instead of a circle) when I was growing up. Eventually when I moved out, she passed it on to me and I absolutely love it. In my opinion it makes the best grilled cheese ever.

what if the problem color is dark brown wood cabinets that you can't paint because you're a renter? My entire apartment is painted in this pale mocha with white trim which looks great in most of the rooms, but not the kitchen. Somehow all of it together ends up looking very dowdy. Anyone have any suggestions to minimize the brown? Or compliment it?

They have some great industrial art schools in the Bay Area too- and recently started doing hot glass classes (vs fused glass or neon) at the Crucible in Oakland. Its a pretty sweet set up with great teachers.

why not just use sharpies since they wipe off glass and mirrors?

I would really like to incorporate tofu into more of my cooking. However, I've noticed that most recipes are for tofu that tends to be firmer than I prefer. I tend to like the really soft kind (think Chinese restaurants) over the super dense stuff. Does anyone have any good tips or recipes to use softer tofu?

How good should the olive oil be for this recipe?

I love the cabinets and floor- it must have been a lot of hard work. But you took out the full size fridge! After living with a mini fridge recently for about 4 months, I'm so totally anti.

Impressive island! I'm a little confused as to how you guys eat on the elevated tray though- maybe I'm just really short or you guys are really tall because it seems like it would be an awkward height.

Actually, passover begins this evening at sundown.

Walmarts food politics are not my primary problem with them (as many, if not most, other grocery stores have the same issue). My issue has to do more with their treatment of their employees and the systematic ways in which they enter into areas and destroy the local culture. I do understand that people shop there and that they do, often, have good deals. That being said, I am unwilling to support a company that cheats their employees and helps push them into near poverty.
