Yes! We had many peanut butter sandwiches when traveling in New Zealand a few months ago. We did our fair share of eating local food, but lots of days we were just too busy to find a restaurant for a quick lunch, or we were going on a long hike, etc. and the peanut butter sandwiches were perfect.

I heard that flat paint with ceramic microspheres is just as washable as satin or semigloss - has anyone had experience with this?

I also put the dirty dishes in the sink, since we don't have a dishwasher, but my boyfriend hates it because he has to move them all out of the sink to use the faucet or actually wash anything.

Hmm. My friend's son mistakenly washed lettuce for salad in warm water and she said it got nasty and limp.

Does anyone have any specific recommendations for sourcing the noise-absorbing drapes? I found a few different companies online but would love to hear from people who actually use them!

I'm with KpieS - when my hands are dirty, I use my wrist or forearm to turn on the faucet. I've never been so dirty that that didn't work.

I've been looking for one that is reasonably priced!

I just figured this out the other day! Added too much salt to my quick but slightly bitter beer bread.

Sliced turkey, mozzarella, tomato and black pepper, with soft cheese spread on both pieces of bread, and grilled.

It depends on the workout. Resistance = protein (protein shake, Greek yogurt, etc). Cardio = sugar immediately, carbs a bit later. After a run I usually have a Lifesaver, juice or an apple, take a shower, then eat a meal with bread or pasta.

Most of our kitchen issues were solved when we remodeled, but a few remain...

Keeping up with the dishes (no dishwasher, boyfriend hates doing dishes)
Fridge & freezer organization
Mold in the silicone of our under-mount sink
Dull knives, no idea where to get them sharpened locally. No kitchen stores, no farmers market service, shipping them out is super expensive.
