I'm excited to get started today! However, I also looked into your recommendation for the Dyson Slim, and it looks like it is no longer available. Was it replaced by the Digital Slim? Any thoughts or reviews on that model, or is there another model I should be looking at?

Save the corks! This makes a lovely display that is fun to look through. I have five or so years worth in a clear glass vase. I put the date on the end of the cork and write in the event, if any, and who shared the bottle with us. It makes me smile every time I see a cork peeking out that reminds me of an event or person I haven't thought of for a while. Every time I clean and dust the shelf it lives on, I stir up the corks to reveal different ones. The corks are easy to store and display, but I can't imagine that many bottles in my house!

Hey - it does feel nice to get a little strength from the group! Week one has been a little on the good side and little on the bad. I did get a large list of repairs made and was surprised to see that it wasn't as long as I thought it would be, and not too terribly daunting. However, I still haven't gotten the mopping done. Ug, the idea of moving all the stuff filling up the corners of my space makes it so hard to get started! I'm steeling myself to get it done today (my birthday present to myself!) by envisioning clear corners and good flow in a few weeks! I did buy flowers and tuck them into strategic spots safe from my plant-devouring cat. I've got to get some of those hanging vases! I EVEN took some PICTURES, and maybe I'll post a few if I have time after mopping later.

Got it, ScienceintheCity! Now if I can't win a real replicator, at least let me win this cool teapot!

baking soda and vinegar - cheap and works great !

I'd love to grill some steak for my hubby's b-day!

I just love that these fold flat - perfect for our tiny apartment and for the car!

Our worst mess was made by my (non-cook) husband, who decided to make a chili dinner on his own for our family and his dad. The recipe called for putting the cooked diced beef in tomato sauce in the blender before adding other ingredients. After a brief search for the blender lid, hubby decided to just use his hand to cover the top. As soon as the blender was turned on, he discovered where the lid was (in the blender!) - also the hot beef was a bit too much for his hand, so chili went EVERYWHERE! He actually put the mixture through a strainer to remove the plastic lid slivers, cleaned up and continued cooking the meal. He didn't reveal his secret ingredient until AFTER we had eaten! Luckily, I didn't arrive home from work until just before dinner was served, so I didn't have to help with cleanup, but I still can't believe he served blender lid chili to us!

wow - it would be pretty hard to choose between sweet LOVE for my girly-girl, or MONSTER for my imaginative little beast! I think MONSTER would win out!

My daughter is going to study human ecology in the fall at College of the Atlantic, and her new Dell would look very cool in this sleeve! Thanks for the contest!
