I can't decide between "incomprehensible" and "incoherent"...

Steamed then drizzle on a heated mixture of butter, capers, lemon juice, garlic, black pepper.

Ditto no sugar or grains.

I started with the basic recipes for "truffles" from the websites Mark's Daily Apple and Nora Gedgaudas'.

Then I create a new variation each time I make them, to tailor to what flavors we're currently interested in.

I'd rather have the real thing. Much cheaper, and...well, real.

If the artist can follow this muse and make a go of it, more power to 'em.

I'd put money on it being more than 1 in 4...

Please, people, if you snore, get yourself checked out for nose/sinus conditions that can be corrected, and/or sleep disorders. Consider that it might also be your diet or weight, contributing to system-wide inflammation/allergy/intolerance and prioritize your wellbeing. End PSA

Anyone know the source of that hanging acrylic(?) chair?

You hit on the key in your 3rd sentence. Without a vision, motivation, and discipline, a tip - no matter how good - will only result in self-judgment.

What would your desk look like if you arranged it the way you truly want it to be? What's a 1-minute action you can take right now to move you one step closer to that?

Spend a few minutes for just one week in whatever way best fits your learning style to making a mental connection between locating your keys *before* walking through a door out of your home.

Be present. If you're an adrenaline junky or just taking on too many responsibilities, mental distraction is the downside, and it's a big one. All areas of your life are suffering, and the irony is without being present to now you're unaware of it.

What is the deal with master baths? Dumb as mud, IMO. But, hey, it's a trend - along with granite counter tops - so let's all be lemmings and rush out to get it.

We're currently looking for a new house and are prepared to rip out this stupidity as the first remodeling project.

Sorry for the tangential rant, I couldn't resist the soapbox since we've seen so many very badly designed tacked-on master baths in the past few months. (sigh)
