Sisterfunkhaus's Profile

I agree that other cuisines have a lot of began type offerings. We eat far more food from other cultures because of flavor and the food being based on veggies, beans, rice, etc...

I agree about the bee allergy issue. Its quite sad to me that people's desire for a hobby trumps another person life. Also, maybe if we stopped taking the bee's honey from them and supplementing it with nutritionally inferior sugar water, we would have fewer issues with colony collapse. The bees work very hard to make the honey, which is the perfect food for them only to have it taken away and replaced with sugar water. So wrong.

As she has gotten older, we let her pick everything within limits. I like for everything to look cohesive. As long as that aspect is there, I'm good.

I'd go with a funky Mexican hippy vibe with lots of natural materials. You maybe could even find some Fiestaware in those colors.

Bleh. Stupid tablet makes it hard to spell

BTW, before anyone chimes in about me hating the poor b/c I want to live in a nice apartment complex with white collar workers, don't bother. Living around young party people who are loud, don't pick up their dog crap, leave their 100 lb barking dogs on the patio all day, smoke inside and burn down a whole building (happened to three different buildings in the 2 years we live there), and pile trash on their patios to the point that it attracts rats is NOT a pleasant experience.

I have a right to live in in a clean and quiet place should I so desire. I also have a right to judge what makes it clean and nice, and what not.

I do not hate poor people. We are not rolling in money ourselves.I have just found that people with nicer outdoor furnishings tend to be quieter and tend to take pride in where they live a bit more. They also tend to be older and more established and less likely to party till 4 am. In 2 years of living HERE, we have had zero problems.

Glue a wood peg into the stripped hole and cut it flush with the bottom of the chair with gorilla glue. Allow it to dry very well. Then, press wood putty into any gaps. Again, allow to dry well. Re drill a hole in the same spot the size you need for the chair leg to screw in. The metal plate thing is a good idea except that leg will stick out more than the others as that one leg will not be inset like the others.

This is great because those areas can easily be painted back with white paint.

I don't have a closet like that, but since we don't have an extra room, I use my kitchen island storage for crafting and art supplies since I tend to do that at the table. You could put shelves in it and use it for something like that.

I can also see putting shelves in, taking off the door, it and using it as cookbook storage and knick knack display. You could use removable wall paper on the back wall. Maybe hang some ball fringe from the top with hot glue or 3M removable sticky foam. That would be adorable.

I always keep pasta, cream, parm reg, beans, brown rice, quinoa, and lots of veggies. I can almost always throw together a quinoa and roasted veggie salad, bean and rice tacos with salsa, cheese, and often avocado, a creamy pasta with sauteed veggies, and we also end up eating grilled cheese on sourdough with a quick homemade tomato soup.
