One of my favorites, partly because I can buy a six-pack at Costco and they remain edible for weeks. Spinach and mixed greens go slimy in days. I tent to eat romaine leaves whole with nothing on them, but am widely acknowledged to be part rabbit. Don't You Dare Call Them Boring: Hearts of Romaine Ingredient Spotlight |

I'll be honest -- when Apartment Therapy did a series of posts on "design" furniture a while back, I looked at parade of bowl chairs and the rest of the 60's era seats and thought, "whatever happened to lumbar support?"

My first cocktail was an amaretto sour too! The smell of beer makes me gag, and most alcohol tasted awful (I'd take a sip of friends drinks while ordering water for myself).
