Or you can take a large pot and put 3 tlbsp of olive oil with 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels on medium heat (covered). In about 5 minutes you will have fresh delicious popcorn.

I've lived with out a Microwave for years and now have one in my new apartment and I have to say, I really don't like having one. It's mounted above my stove so it doesn't take up any space, otherwise it would be gone. :)

Love this house as much as I love Seattle!

That fire place is sooo cute. It looks original. I really really like that painting of the people looking into the ocean. Oh man, what a wonderful piece! Thank you for sharing!

I have used this app in the past and stopped because i want to wake up at a specific time. I'm weird like that.

Regarding the iPad, ours came Saturday and it is pretty awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the new apps now that it is out and 3rd party developers have their hands on it.

I almost bought these! they are just so nerdy and cute. It's the little details like this (IF you are a geek, if it doesn't apply to you, it's kitsch) that can stamp your identity in your home in my opinion.

I received my wall stickers today to use in my new bathroom which will be green and grey. Mine will be a little lighter though and the green is brighter. I can't wait now! I am looking for a small decorative bird cage if anyone has any ideas (similar to those lanterns actually).

Okay, "an elusive cat" made me spit out a little of my coffee. I was cracking up as coffee dribbled down my chin.

Recently I saw a backsplash like the one on the right of the one on the right . The tiles were lighter more silver instead of grey, and there were more bronze tiles (so, kinda not like it at all, heh :P) but the combination of silver/bronze tiles looked fantastic. The home owner also grouped the tiles in fours to make the square tiles stand out more. looked fabulous.

Oh my that tart looks amazing. This past week I tried a Milk Chocolate-Caramel Tart with Hazelnuts and Espresso and it was absolutely fantastic. The crust on this part was simple and one of the best I've made (<-- novice :P )!!!

This picture makes me want to make another tart.....immediately. I also just got "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" and "The Joy of Cooking" and I fully anticipate making something tomorrow out of one of them.

(here's the link to the recipe)
