my grandparents have an elevator in their house, it opens into the basement, livingroom, and their bedroom, and looks like a closet from the outside (a regular door opens to the elevator door). It's small, only big enough to squish 3 people in, or fit just my grandpa and his wheelchair more recently. My grandma likes it for carrying laundry and to bring things from the kitchen to/from the basement. Home Elevator, Yea or Nay? Good Questions |

both Denver and Boulder, Colorado allow chickens (no roosters) and have huge young adult populations (including myself, in Boulder). I'm part of a CSA, chicken/honey bee/goat milk co-op, a covenant (private community) garden, and am active in local sustainable, Jewish food and environmental awareness (see Hazon, among others). There are lots of local opportunities to get your hands dirty in Colorado, or not, we've got some kick-ass farmers markets once the ground thaws ;-) Best Cities for Urban Homesteaders on a Budget?

Down. Then both my husband and I have to lift and close at least one lid every time someone uses the toilet. Also, the idea of germs being spread around by flushing the potty with the lid open totally grosses me out; my toothbrush is only 4' away! Toilet Seat Lid Up or Down? Good Questions |

look in the bulk bins at your local grocery, or definitely at a grocery with a healthier aim (Sprouts, Sunflower, Harris Teeter, etc.). Remember, couscous is a pasta and should be treated as one so don't buy too much at a time and happy hunting! Good Sources for Israeli or Pearl Couscous? Good Questions |

make spiced apple compote! Your house will smell amazing: sliced apples, raisins, a cinnamon stick, splash of lemon juice, water to cover, and simmer on low and stir occasonally for as long as you want. If it cooks for too long, it will turn into apple sauce and then apple butter (jsut don't let it go dry or it will burn and not smell lovely any more). How Can I Use Up a Lot of Raisins?

I'm not sure what we're doing this year, but I just put in an order with a frozen, kosher, organic meat company for two 2-3 lb. turkey thighs and a small package of turkey breast cutlets. I'm more into white meat and my husband is more into dark, but this way we can cook just for us (an maybe the 3-4 friends we can fit in our apt for dinner) without too many leftovers. Huzzah for turkey parts! Survey: Are You Making a Turkey for Thanksgiving? |

herb salt! It looks really cute in the 4oz canning jars from the grocery/box store. $8/12 jars + dry herbs and sea salt. Yum! Here's my mom's recipe for one jar worth.

I made my own frozen stock concentrate: roast veggies, add just a bit of water, a lot of salt and pepper, and puree. Freeze in ice cube trays and then dump in a tupperware or ziplock bag. It's kinda like sofrito, only with my own flavors (2 onions, a head of garlic, a leek, 5 carrots, a yellow beet, a celery root [doesn't burn like celery would], and a turnip).

I wouldn't rent a place that: doesn't come with a parking space, smells like pets, has a carpeted bathroom, has ugly walls that we're not allowed to paint, OR has an itty-bitty kitchen. I Would Never Rent an Apartment That… Reader Survey |

my husband and I took the first few days of our honeymoon taking Amtrak across the US in sleeper cars. They're not too bad, we did it to have fun. In the US it's not a cheaper way to travel, just a more scenic one. We did get to meet some interesting people along the way, and many older folks were so excited to hear that a young couple was taking their honeymoon by train. It was cute, but I wouldn't go for more than 2 days, there's not enough room to take a real shower, IMHO. Sleeper Car Chic |
