This is perfect to replace our non energy efficient compliant set that was in our house when we bought it. Not to mention would make the experience of a newborn cloth washing tolerable!

Oh all the good stuff that matters to folks now, but that have been timeless..
planting for the correct conditions be it dry, shade, wet, sunny, canopied, street,deer-ed, people-ed, small scale, larger scale, public scale, flat-vertical-higher ground, kiddies, pets, diy-ers, edibles,cooks, foragers, low energy high output, smart, sexy, cool, relaxing meaningful and integrated designs.

As a designer-teacher-cook-gardener all of these are key, fun, and have great purpose now. Hopefully a garden design column comes to the DC area for AT!

I have a recipe that adds vinegar to the milk and bananas and it makes the bread divine! very good texture and the perfect crunch on the top! I like using thawed frozen bananas, brings the flavours out in my mind. organic white whole wheat is yum too.

We just had a sofa brought in , brand new, and could not fit as was planned and estimated in a fit test into our small home. It was suggested that we find a sofa doc, since they are everywhere in NYC, here in the DC area. We went with a local furniture and upholstery shop in Alexandria (Spicers) and they plucked, lifted, tucked and re-sewed to a tee. Unless you really love this chair, get a new one that fits. Since ours was brand new and we had searched a long time to find one that had all the right qualities (size-though we hit a snag here-, look, comfort,etc), it was very worth it. Not to mention a very high quality job done. Weigh your options well.
