Is that a picture of the "before?" That is far from the ugliest...its got a balcony, palm tree views, nice floors, and huge window/doors. You havent seen ugly.

I like the idea and would buy it...if I knew it worked, for sure.

I had my family (8 people) stay in my tiny 560sqft apt. I agree the key is stay outside, spend the day out & about by the time we got home everyone was sleepy and happily crawled into their aerobed, couch, bed, cushions on thr floor,etc. It was messy, but it was family & I loved it.

I was thinking of buying some slippers & a robe for my guests, I also have hotel size toiletries. My one problem is there is nowhere to place their luggage that isnt in the living room.

I recently moved & decorated so before they drag all their stuff in, I say "wait leave it here (hallway) and see how the place looks before we live it up for the next few days"

This was my first time making risotto. I had no idea it took so much time, but I appreciate that. My first batch I accidentally used white wine vinegar instead of white wine. The momment I poured I realized my mistake. ha. I started over, I used more olive oil than butter to saute the onions and garlic (which I think worked bc the cheese added just the right amount of saltiness). IT WAS PERFECT.
I didnt add anything fancy, and skipped the white wine all together (the wine probably would have cut the saltiness). Ill be more adventerous next time. I roasted brussels, grilled sausage and feasted.

I use disinfecting cleaner on mine. I spray it on a napkin/towel and wipe it down. I do this with my iphone often-I take the subway daily & touch the poles in the train which Im sure are a hotel for virus/bacterias/and plain ol' nastiness. I use my iphone & Kindle on the train so all of that is now on my devices. Then (I quiver at the thought) I take my phone to my face to talk....yeah I must sanitize that iphone often.
If I didnt take the train I honestly wouldnt be so 'noid.

I like the outdoor shower idea!

I tried this and loved it. Although I didnt taste the butternut squash much. I used asiago & parmesan.

Cheese, sage, pasta...fried!!! Nothing better.

Thats nice and economical for a sweet lil princess.

Patrick-yours is awesome.

Sweet.
I envy* backyarded-people and loathe those who have them and choose not to do something nice with them.

*not in a bad seven deadly sin way, more in a "ohhh, thats so nice, Im definitely going to get a back yard in my next place"
