I have to agree with Elaine B here, seems a little risky.
Secondly, how does one light the candles in those tall carafes?

Pretty, nonetheless!

why not chop some up and pickle it with some red onion? would make a delicious crunchy relish for sandwiches or, left whole, added to a bloody mary!

i always carry a small 3-outlet power strip as well. I've used it numerous times in the airport when all the power outlets are taken up and weary travelers are unwilling to share the precious electricity. Now we can both charge and be happy! :)

i love to give away little party favors at dinner parties. i've done hot chocolate on a stick (with homemade marshmallows), spiced nuts, homemade tea breads, custom tea blends, savory & sweet granolas, homemade caramel corn, custom sugar cookies, homemade grainy mustard ...

each gift gets a custom label and a little thank-you to my guests for coming over. such fun!

wow, beautiful materials. just curious - is it hard to work so close to the tv? seems like a pretty short distance from seat to such a big screen.

and what's that plywood thing in the last image?

i ruined the finish on (what i thought was) my indestructible wooden table. on my wormwood table i laid out a towel with some slightly damp clothes soaking in oxygen cleaner to dry overnight. the cleaner ate thru the finish on my table and left a strange brown stain. :( be careful!

i do this too. and yes, toddless, fresh zest is better, but sometimes I just dont have it on hand and my freezer stash will work in a pinch.

i also ...
1. call my credit card companies and inform them of travels and potential out-of-area charges.
2. set up lights on a timer to discourage break-ins.
3. scan my passport and ids and create a locked pdf of them, then email to myself. Then if I lose them during my trip, I will have a record to get new travel identification

Does it count that i wont buy tissues in ugly boxes? It seems like 90% of the packages are covered in unsightly patterns, and being a graphic artist, it's a design sin to display that ugly box on my bathroom counter. I'll pay the extra $1 to NOT look at that box for a month.

i usually make a simple single-layer cake for dessert when i have dinner parties. i have found that after 3-5 courses of food, no one really wants to commit to a big dessert and i'm stuck with the leftovers! a nice spice cake with a little bourbon sauce, or polenta cake with marmalade usually does the trick.

i've used the nobu miso marinade with black cod, and it was AMAZING. my dinner party guests raved about its incredible flavor, and i had to confess it was the easiest fish i've ever prepared. i now keep a tub of the marinade in my fridge and use it for braising green veg (like bok choy) as well. try it ... you wont be sorry!

I have a few that i'm going to work on:
- be more mindful with food (more specifically - stop wasting produce by not consuming it fast enough!)
- stop aimlessly browsing the web and commit to reading books
- explore my spice cabinet
- less impulse clothes buying. quality over quantity!
- use up my fancy stationery and send REAL mail.

wish me luck!

when i saw this in top 10 post, i got pretty excited. small, artsy, fun ... but the reviews are pretty terrible. lots of streaky photos, super-poor battery life, etc. anyone have a good first-hand experience with this printer?
