2. A backup bottle of bourbon
3. Bourbon in case I run out of the first two bottles.
4. etc. :-)

Love it! Especially the white appliances. I'm so tired of stainless steel! I would totally paint my kitchen a color like this if the light weren't so cool and weak. Had to go with a yellow to warm it up.

Ouch. Insensitive. Some people have legitimate allergies/sensitivities/beliefs. I eat Paleo at home because I'm prone to gaining weight. I love food, and I don't feel deprived or unhappy. Also I think my gluten-free friends and my vegetarian friends are no less happy than anyone else.

The last time I cooked for people with a variety of differences, I ended up making a vegetable biyrani as the main (gluten-free and vegan), with a yogurt sauce to go with (more protein for our veggie friends), with lamb meatballs for the carnivores (like me). It was fantastic.

I see it as a fun challenge to try to make tasty food that accommodates my friends' different diets.

Are seeds even digestible?? I thought they at least had to be crushed for humans to even have a chance of processing them.

P.S. love to see what people are eating for lunch!

I pack leftovers or we always have arugula and cooked chicken or egg on hand for a salad. Boring but tasty!

Arrrgh. I'm off bread and all these sandwich posts are killing me!

Spices and olive oil belong in the cupboard, away from heat and light.

P.S. I grew up in pure, unadulturated, rural Idaho. I could see how growing up in the city might make this practice, as you say, appalling.

OMG, reading the comments and this post makes me so glad I don't live in SF! We've owned our house in PDX for eight years now and I can't imagine trying to rent here, let alone in SF. The last apartment I rented was in Spokane, WA. I paid $450 a month for 800 square feet, hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a working fireplace. Seriously. Location only goes so far when we're talking about quality of life. At some point the cost of living in a desirable city outweighs the benefits.
