These are adorable. I would love to live in a place like this... provided of course that I like my neighbors.

I also like small beach bungalow neighborhoods. Something like The Walks in Long Beach (NY).

First of all, is that your dog? Because, oh my God, it's so cute!

Secondly, yes. We let our dogs lick plates, pots, or platters. However, we only do so after we've brought the plates to the dishwasher. They don't get every single plate, but if there's a platter still filled with brown bits and juice, they definitely get it. We try not to let them beg (although they still do sometimes!), so it's sort of a reward after the meal. That's why we don't give them the plates at the table, but wait until we're at the sink.

These things don't make it any less gross, or any more sanitary, but I feel confident in saying we won't stop letting them lick.

It's funny. One dog, the 10 year old, is a picky eater, and literally spits out the peas he finds in the pasta, but the 2 year old gladly eats every string bean and broccoli crown left!

Honestly, could that show get any better?

I love making (and eating) Beef & Guinness stew! The Guinness makes for a thick, rich gravy, but when you bite into the beef chunks, you get that great stout flavor.

I was thisclose to getting an Electra Amsterdam in June but then there was a recall on them. I still haven't gotten a bike. I drool over these sometimes: http://www.dutchbikes.us/ particularly this one: http://www.dutchbikes.us/velorbis/victoria/index.asp I was also very interested in the Kronan, but I heard they aren't the best, and hard to repair. I also looked at http://www.jorgandolif.com/limited.html ...but, like I said, I still haven't found my bike.

Oh yes, they have that very thing on the toilets in my local pizzeria - on LI!

Cider-glazed Lamb Chops

Thanks

I just love them...

Those candies with the jelly center are gross - you're right. They're always repulsively disappointing to the unsuspecting victim...
