I thought the muffin vs cupcake distinction was that cupcakes have frosting and muffins do not. I'd never hears that sweet/savory mattered. Someone decide. I WANT TO KNOW.

^ What about outdated law books? Goodwill doesn't take *everything*, and they do toss things out. http://www.flickr.com/photos/o42/6022023339/in/set-72157625976835725/ Silly to be outraged by something that doesn't harm anyone.

I take public transport and use jars for breakfast and lunch, but never quart size. The largest I use are the pints. packed in my slightly padded lunch bag (which goes into another bag), I haven't had any mishaps yet.


Salad in a Jar! Make a Week of Healthy, Delicious Lunches

I don't like most jams because they are too sweet for me, and most fruit on the bottom yogurts are way way way too sweet.

What I do is this:

I buy fresh fruit which I blend into a puree. I freeze my pureed fruit in ice cube trays or muffin tins.

I regularly buy the 32 oz yogurt and portion it into my half pint jars. When it comes time to pack my breakfast, I add a frozen puree to my yogurt. By the time I sit down to eat, my puree is melting into my yogurt and it is both pretty and delicious.

Lay off, Escondido, people. I read her comment to be shock that someone wanted box stuff when they could get the real thing. I didn't see it as a judgement call on the woman

The iPad's size was prohibitive for me. It just felt very clunky to hold, and forget holding it in only one hand. I loved reading on my iPod Touch, but wanted something bigger, but not as big as the iPad. I went with an android tablet since they come in so many varying sizes these days.

I would get hit in the face everyday until I finally pulled them down in a fit of rage after my third black eye and my coworkers confronting me about my "abusive spouse" intervention style.

I like it. I could see decoupaging like vintage magazine ads on them and making them do double duty.

I wonder if covering cabinet doors with oil cloth would be viable. I am a renter who hates my cabinets, but I don't want to risk damaging them. I need my security deposit back.

I love this. i think I'd be tempted to use the clingy things that have hooks on them (usu for hanging things in your window) and put holes in my bottles.

So here's a time when I think it could benefit from paint. I would have gone with a pepto bismol pink. Love the idea, though.
