i like to keep things interesting by adding fresh herbs, a knob of ginger, or some fennel fronds (new obsession-- try fennel + mango mmmmm).

i think your pan's too hot! best to cook scrambled eggs over low heat. that way, they don't stick and they don't turn into a rubbery mess.

the city's trash website says you either have to flush it or bury it. i'm pretty sure it's a worker safety thing (trash collectors didn't like handling bags of cat doo-- who would??)

worker safety pitted against clean water... if only there was a way to vaporize it with some neato laser gun.

if you have a smoker or a grill, you could smoke it?

i bet it would be a great add-in to sorbet/popsicles/berry tarts?

when i made this and froze it, it came out how you describe:

Oh man, I just had this dilemma. I ended up donating because, when you're moving, there are SO MANY OTHER THINGS TO DO. Donating means one trip to the Goodwill collection box. Selling meant a garage sale, craigslist, or haggling with the lady at the resale shop. Also, selling my old clothes, lamps, etc. was never realistically going to fund my cross-country move.

Expensive, segregated housing is not revolutionary at all.

I think it's awesome that architects are looking at ways that design can help people with autism live independently, but I think our communities would be better served if those techniques/principles were applied to ALL housing, so that any person (with or without) a disability can live comfortably in any home. Universal design principles (see, e.g., http://www.nahb.org/generic.aspx?genericContentID=89934) allow communities to be integrated-- people with and without disabilities can be neighbors. That is revolutionary.

For an example of a really neat project that used universal design to create an integrated community, check out the ElvenSted apartments in Stoughton, Wisconsin. The buildings are beautiful, green, and accessible to everyone. The units are marketed as 1) market rate, 2) workforce housing and 3) to people with disabilities. There's even a wheelchair-accessible raised-bed community garden! http://host.madison.com/news/local/grassroots/grass-roots-elven-sted-lays-out-welcome-mat-in-stoughton/article_4018d4ce-0cba-11e1-8b0f-001cc4c03286.html

what about a pu-erh tea? it's very smokey and complex. brew it super strong, chill it, sip slowly.

one of my favorite non-alcoholic drinks is a big glug of apple cider vinegar with a little honey in some water (not sure if apple cider vinegar is ok during pregnancy?). if you use really good vinegar (i use Bragg's), the drink is very complex, a little tart, a little sweet.

great post! kitten before & after is my favorite part!
