It is a little sad that this contest isn't about who is a good photographer and just about who is popular and has lots of friends/followers. Maybe an independent panel of experts might be a better way to do this in the future. Just a suggestion.

I have a recipe for this in my cookbook. It's a classic for good reason. I agree, it's amazing and deserves to be rediscovered.

I reckon that it's yours now and you can do what you'd like. I think that your Grandfather would be happy that you are keeping it and found a new use for it instead of getting rid of it.

I also like their "warehouse service" where you give them your list and they will get all the items for you. There is a small charge, but if you're getting lots of items, it might be worth it.

I'm a professional chef and I stay out of the kitchen when I'm invited to dinner. It's their dinner party and I only give advice when I'm asked to help.

I keep several small, clear plastic bins on the shelves of my pantry for small items. I have one for vinegars, asian condiments, baking items, and little jars/boxes. It helps to keep things from getting "lost" in the cupboard. I keep a small, clear bin in the fridge for the same reason. That tiny jar of capers will never go missing again.

I would get a new door without a pet door. Any sign of pets can turn a buyer off.

I agree with a previous post that said to just clean it well and leave most things alone. I would prefer to buy a house that I can renovate to my taste and not pay for a renovation that I just have to tear out.
