I loved these chocolates--to me they taste much better than the big TJ bar--but alas, they're discontinued! I blame you commenters above ;)

Roast beets (chiogga, golden, and red if available) and sweet potatoes in their skins.
While they're roasting, take a couple of logs of goat cheese, form into aggie-sized balls, and dust some with ground pink peppercorns and some with herbs de provence.
When the root veggies are done, peel and use a melon baller to scoop them into little bite-sized balls.
Just before your guests arrive, toss everything together and sprinkle some fresh parsley and thyme on top.

I build boxes out of 1x8x8 untreated pine yesterday, just screwed the boards together. I'm now wishing I'd used a corner kit of some kind, or ideally the mortar and tenon style, because I'm definitely no carpenter. But hopefully they'll hold together for a couple of years. I'm thinking of putting copper flashing over the top edges of the boxes to repel water and slugs.

If you're in Brooklyn you might try DAS Upholstery on Cortelyou Road 1312 Cortelyou Road 718-284-1079. I have no affiliation with DAS, but they tend to do good work at a good price.

We routinely sprinkle coffee grounds onto our houseplants, with good effect. But now that we have a little garden and are composting, I'm wondering: how many coffee grounds are too many? We drink so much coffee that I fear the plants might get a bit, er, jittery.

Bear in mind that the XO laptop is designed for children in developing countries. For the intended audience, it's far more suitable than the Asus Eee PC. For an adult in a first-world country, the Asus delivers a more familiar user experience.

FYI, Miyo is no longer sold online. Their website says to go to the parent Armstrong site, which sends users back to the Miyo site in a useless loop.

Guess it depends on how much you like surprise parties...you could open the door each day to feel relief that the people weren't actually there to disturb your peace and quiet.

That Mongoose blind looks pretty cool, would like it available in different window treatments.
