@Njartteacher - Phosphate spurs algae growth in water, which has an impact on eco systems. The algae starves water of oxygen and it kills plant and animal life.

I got fed up with how expensive pita bread was at our local grocery store, so I decided I wanted to make it myself. It turned out great, and it was 100 times better than the grocery store. I was really surprised how easy it was, too.

I had the exact same kitchen sink set-up in a house I used to rent. I used comet and a magic eraser and scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed, and though it looked cleaner, it never felt clean. I feel your pain.

Our house doesn't have air conditioning, and when it is 100 degrees outside, the last thing I want to use is the stove and oven. We use our toaster oven and bbq exclusively in the summer to keep the house cool.

The tarnish is more an aesthetic thing; you should be able to buff it out.

I'd be more worried about putting non-stick through the dishwasher. It seriously lessens the life of the non-stick coating.

When in doubt, handwash!

White poster board, tiled on the walls, allows you to change the color of the room if you really want. I always created elaborate murals on my walls, because I liked to procrastinate, and painting was much more fun than working on homework.

Blueberries and cantaloupe. Bleh.

I used to have an aversion to mushrooms (texture thing) but I've slowly overcome it by making an effort to add them to my favorite foods, and/or by adding something to them that balances out the squishyness. Same thing with squash.
