Any suggestions on how to make these gluten-free? Or another suggestion for a recipe for black bean veggie burgers that is already GF? Just wondering if rice flour would be enough to hold it together...

AT, why isn't this a finalist?!?!? Clearly, our voting doesn't determine who is a finalist... so why do we vote only to have someone else decide? This one blew everyone else in the Tiny category out of the water... it still has my vote. Seriously AT, what gives?

Oh, how I miss Norway!! Love your place and how you've decorated it! I remember passing near Skien on our way from Oslo to Arendal when I was on tour in the St. Olaf Choir... can't wait to come back someday. Ha det bra!! :)

Definitely miss radiator heat... like Xarcady, we had all kinds of baking dishes sitting on radiators in my last apartment, and growing up in my parent's house, the radiators had built-in, covered metal trays for water on top of the radiator. I

now have forced air for the first time in my life and definitely NOT a fan... SO dry! Been thinking about getting an Aprilaire humidifier installed... anyone have any thoughts about those? My little humidfier can't see to keep up.

We got ours at Home Depot... with the blanket. :)

Love it!! I know it's small... but can we get a house tour/call for this place? Looks like they did a great job on a budget, keeping things simple and making a small space feel big and airy... also LOVE the coffee table idea!! :)

Not necessary... my go-to salad for kale is raw kale just dressed in lemon juice, olive oil, salt/pepper, and pecorino romano. I just toss it well (maybe 1 min) and let it sit in the fridge (or room temp) for a while (or overnight) -- the lemon juice does the work for you!! :)

I have so many thoughts on this... but here are just a couple:

" With age comes maturity, brain capacity, height, and strength. These children then feel naturally "gifted", do better on tests, are picked first for team sports, and overall gain confidence on each rung of the ladder to success.... When someone like my daughter goes to college, enters the work force, or competes in any other national competition along the way, she is at a disadvantage to children in the same grade in other states."

I know that you said that each child is different, but the statements you made above worry me. Be very careful to not generalize!! Truly, every child IS different and every school system is different, and you have to do what is best for them. I am the child of two educators (maybe that made a difference), and I break every generalization in the above statements. I have an August birthday and skipped kindergarten, which has made me the youngest in my class my whole life (graduated HS at 17). However, I was the tallest in my class for much of my life, HS valedictorian, 4-year varsity letter-winner in track (hurdles, no less), 2-year varsity letter-winner in tennis, and my college choir sang for royalty and the president in the White House, and in Carnegie Hall, Walt Disney Hall, Severance Hall, etc... I graduated college with two degrees in music and chemistry (w/ distinction) and I am now in an MD/PhD program (MSTP) - there are only 933 students in this type of program in the entire US. And don't worry, my husband, friends, and family tell me that I'm the most normal, social nerd they've ever known. :)

I honestly don't like to talk about myself or my accomplishments, but this is anonymous and I wanted to emphasize that you shouldn't feel like you need to hold your daughter back for her to succeed based on trends... do what's best for her, and with such loving, concerned parents, I'm sure she'll do extremely well!!

Applesauce for eggs in baking is a great substitute and often makes things very moist... especially in GF recipes!

I thought of the same hammock before I saw the above comment... they are truly amazing and have them in every application imaginable... chairs, swings, etc... and they're made in North Carolina!
