I live alone and try hard not to waste food. I find that, instead of running out to pick up a few groceries when I think of them, if I wait a few days, I can tackle what's left my fridge and pantry that haven't been consumed. It forces me to be creative with my meals and not have a glut of "a little of this, a little of that" left over.

Perhaps we can shift the conversation in the comments a bit. Let's not talk about "compromising" or comfort vs viewing pleasure etc. How about just the fact that when (and I'll use myself as an example), I put on new underwear, I love the way it makes me feel. Jettisoning those older ones for newer ones is an awesome pleasure as well. The new ones don't have to be La Perla to earn status as Happy-To-Wear.

oooh where are those bedside polygon lamps from?? beautiful!

I have some dear friends that are chronically late for everything. I always tell them an earlier start time, and remind them the day-of of their desired arrival time. for the rest, i let people know if there is a cocktail hour, and that dinner is not served until all guests have arrived. and of course, request to be notified if they're running late.

I had some of these cups and recently got rid of them. While they're the perfect portion size, they're a HUGE pain to clean. The folds trap debris that the dishwasher cant navigate, and hand-washing them was time consuming. I'll just stick to no liners in my muffin tins, thanks!

ok, i'm willing to give them another shot.
when you say "soak," do you mean completely submerge?

I'd love to hear a little more about that desk, it's really nice!

I ate a lot of ground cherries on a recent vacation in Colombia ... and fell in love. I cant wait to try and grow them myself. They're amazing! Sour & sweet, intense, bite size ....

I've been keeping my eyes open at the grocery for these, but I can never seem to find them. Are they a seasonal item?

i do this too, except i just make a big container of it and leave in my desk drawer. easy enough to scoop out a serving each morning. i love to add toasted nuts, sesame seeds, chocolate chips, and TVP for extra protein. delicious!
