Barefoot's Profile

Fewer is for discrete units, less is for continuous units. Less time, fewer minutes. So how much time did it take me to follow the links to get the information that could have been contained in one sentence..?

People have forgotten that fabric was at one time the preferred wall covering & paper was the poor person's substitute. Coming round again.

These statistics are bogus. They tell you what the the average newly constructed size home is but not what percentage of people actually live in such constructions.

The hay will compost long before the two years are up, so it'll be a bag of sludge. The holes in the bottom will let in bugs & dampness. Then there's the plastic - hot in summer, cold in winter. What a concept piece!

Bad headline. It's not a desk, it's a vanity, but it did go girly indeed. It was a grownup piece before & now it's kid's furniture.

It's one thing to give new life to a piece that's in bad shape, but to colorize good furniture to make it contemporary is going to backfire. (The backlash has already started.) Restoring painted furniture is a pain.

A true cost analysis would include the cost of utilities used in baking v. the driving time, gas, & time at the grocery store. Then there's the hidden costs, the impact on the planet - delivery trucks using gas, & packaging.

In any case, I vastly prefer the bread I bake to anything I can buy; less salt, no corn syrup empty calories, better taste. If I'm in too much of a hurry for bread, I bake biscuits. That takes much less time than a trip to the store.

Pie tins with small perforations in the bottom help avoid soggy underbaked bottom crusts.

fallafels. Pita, taboulleh. Humus.

Use any colors that make you happy. You

Find a wallpaper or shower curtain that picks up the pink & green as accent colors but "reads" in a color you like. The right color and print is the one that makes you happy. Lose the vanity.
