IKEA has some great little juice glasses. They aren't exactly like the Italian wine glasses you're talking about, but the work great in a pinch and are very inexpensive: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10015124/.

We use Feline Pine pellets. Odor isn't a problem, but tracking can be when the pellets break down. One of our cats and one of our dogs shed like crazy, though, so we are on constant vacuum and dusting patrol anyway. We use the Buddha Dome, but my heart is set on this. I think top-side litter boxes can probably help a lot with tracking.

I highly recommend checking out the Modern Cat blog. Kate has tons of information about the various types of environmentally-friendly litters available (she's has a multi-cat household and has tested pretty much everything out there), as well as info on litter box advancements. She talks about the problems of clay litter here.

The best thing about living in Texas in the summer is all the readily available locally-grown peaches and tomatoes.

The concoction Laurall describes is great on ice cream!

Chili flakes or something equally spicy!

I've yet to find a style of egg that I don't like. When it comes to boiling though, I like them hard for a snack and soft with breakfast.

Mine really aren't arranged by any method other than how I can get them on my shelves neatly, though my art books are arranged by color. In general, I get rid of old books and purchase new ones too often to have a set system. I'd have to rearrange everything too much because my literary tastes or interests are always changing. I have a good enough memory and a small enough library to find my books easily enough.

I like books.

Chalkity chalkity chalk chalk chalk!

Please and thank you.

The square skillet: I'd use it for all the things my poor little Foreman grill can't quite do.
