Oh and also... I believe you're not supposed to let bits of the batter run down the sides while you're filling it, so make sure you fill from the centre and let it spread out... If that makes sense?

I counted calories oh for about... a month. I found it terribly frustrating and even time consuming. So I took the "eat real food" approach and have recently cut out processes sugar. It's made all the difference. I know it can be difficult to always cook meals with busy life styles, but I freeze my own pasta sauces and the like et voila! Nutritious meal!

am i the only person who thinks that soufflé looks terrible?

Goodness! Such negativity!
Here's the thing, I have a pair of such jeans, and yes I paid a little bit more for them than the jeans at the gap but as a result I a) supported a small American business, b) bought a top quality product, c) most likely won't buy jeans again for a couple of years, so in the long run I've paid as much as those of you who buy them every 6 months! Though, how much people spend on their clothes is actually irrelevant. It fascinates me that someone's choice of clothing rendered such intense negativity on a blog where we like to read about new design trends, and where we appreciate well made things and clever tips. I personally love beautiful apartments and beautiful clothes. No, it wasn't the best video (there are better guides to freezing your jeans around the net) but I think Maxwell is really getting a rough time for this one. Relax!

I had the pleasure of sleeping on futons in Tatami rooms and it was without doubt the most comfortable and restful sleep I've ever had. It did help to wake up to a killer view but regardless. I don't think I'll ever forget that.

Oh the red accent tiles are awesome!!
I mean, just the whole place. I'd kill for views like that... Cities, they're such a love hate relationship.

My mum used to do this when we lived in Europe!!! (definite lack of elderflowers in Australia!!!) I loooooove this!

Someone pointed out before that people need not be so snarky and that perhaps the owner can only afford the storage cube. This is fair enough but don't those things come in all shapes/sizes/colours? Could the owner not have tried to find a more suitable one. Or if they don't, should a design site not feature a more jazzed up cube?
I actually don't take issue with the owner so much, but more with AT. Tidy apartments make all the difference, sure.. but honestly, that's preaching to the choir. I'm getting very tired of seeing posts that feel like a game of "Spot the difference" I honestly had to look twice.

I have string lights (they're called fairy lights in Australia). I have these

and they're actually made from an organic leaf material that's all closed up. When you get the lights you're supposed to spray them with water (crazy I know, but it's safe) to open them up, let them dry and voila. I've strung up mine in the brackets holding up shelves attached to the wall. As I don't have a bedhead they're a perfect replacement. Absolute love.

I know you need to have a good idea of how long something should take to cook but I really dislike being given a precise time "simmer for 20 minutes" or "bake for 30 on blah" The amount of times I've messed up recipes by following that religiously even though intuitively I'm thinking "that doesn't sound right" Just tell me what it should look like/taste like in the end and I'll work it out for myself. Or say "Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown"... or tell me to stick something in it to check if cooked or ANYTHING. This is especially true of recipes involving an oven, I think mine's a bit stronger than the usual... the amount of times my gooey brownies have turned into hard crumbly things because I thought "recipe knows better than me".
