Like the others said, adding a dairy, especially if it has some fat, will help make the spiciness more tolerable without just watering it down. Potatoes and quinoa are especially good at soaking up spice.

Here is my plan of attack with 3 cats - 2 of them super shedders, although I admit there is still a *lot* of fur around my house and on my clothes. First off - furminate! That thing really does work. Just get the right one for your pet's fur, there are different styles, and yes, it matters. Haven't tried it on a terrier style coat yet though. Then I have a roomba that I run as often as possible. The Roomba can't cope with deep cleaning my rugs but it does get the surface dirt and fur and does a pretty good job at taming the tumble-fur. For the fur that does get on fabric, I use the Pledge fabric sweeper. We were also annoyed that it was single use, so if you are careful, you can break the little tabs that hold the container part to the rest of it. Then it snaps back on and you can dump it out a few times at least before it starts not snapping back together.

My current place as well as my past place both had walls with similar colors. Both had lime green walls that I love for the kitchen. My new place also has a yellow entry way with some orange accents. Trying to describe it to someone, I finally likened it to a mango - the yellowy and greenish skin with the richer orangish flesh on the inside. Yep, that pretty much describes my house

One thing that I saw this past weekend and actually commented on to my friends is something I saw at a Chili's (of all places). They had wide wood flooring with the planks offset so it didn't form a perfect rectangle and I thought if you need a drop ceiling, that'd be a neat way to go.

Animal rescues and shelters would LOVE to have carpet remnants, especially those samples that have completed edges. They are particularly useful in cat cages, so if you have any cat specific rescues in the area, they would love them.

Seltzer water with gin and lime is pretty tasty.
I've used one of these when we chartered a boat in the Bahamas and a friend brought one. It makes pretty tasty soda-like drinks. My boyfriend especially likes that you can customize how much carbonation is in the water.

Probably medium, but mostly anything that isn't burned or bitter.

I'm about to redo my bathroom sometime soon but haven't picked colors yet, these would a great inspiration!

Tough choices but I think since I live in a small loft in Atlanta with no real grill, I'd most look forward to using the grill pan. I'd probably grill steak. Or salmon or tuna...
