I've been seeing it in major grocery store chains. Check near the peanut butter.

Tip: Try it in place of peanut butter in your favorite peanut butter cookie recipe. Yes, cookie-spread cookies. They're fantastic.

It doesn't say to avoid potatoes, it says that they don't count toward your dietary goals like (or as a substitute for) other vegetables. If you have a cheeseburger with a side of fries, you shouldn't count the fries as your vegetable serving.

I think I'm in love.

This reminds me of the movie Real Genius.

Oh, I could draw mine. It was an adorable studio-loft, which I thought was a dream at $800/mo... until summer came around. The loft, where I slept, was right above the kitchen, had low slanted ceilings, and one tiny window that only opened a few inches. No A/C or any type of fan, and no air flow at all. I couldn't sleep in my own apartment for a good chunk of August.

I have a pie crust shield. You can buy them in metal or silicone. They're about $5 and up.

Yesterday I roasted black figs with a drizzle of honey, then I reconstituted them over the stove with some more honey and some water to soften them and make a syrup. I'm serving the figs and syrup with homemade honey goat cheese ice cream with a little bit of cinnamon (tastes like cheesecake!).

Even in the tidy pictures, that unit that you have the TV on is just bad. It needs to go, and you need something to stash the crap in: something tall and narrow with doors, that fits in that solid wall space that will be opened up by getting rid of the tv stand. Mount the tv over the fireplace.

If you can drill holes into the ceiling, you can have three hooks come down (each side and in the middle) that can hold a pole for a set of curtains.

Extra-firm tofu has a similar texture. I bet if you soaked it in saltwater or miso you could achieve something feta-like.

Thanks for the picture of the pantry. I'm an everything-must-be-put-away person moving into a place with the exact same open pantry situation and I've been trying to figure out how to make it look tidy and deliberate-- yours looks perfect!
