We're about to endure a kitchen reno, so we will have to live without a stove for awhile. We would also like to try to not eat out too much, so I would like to see some posts about barbecue recipes. I like the idea of cooking on the barbecue because I don't need to be in the kitchen at all and it produces few dirty dishes.

Thanks!

Can Ikea cabinets support the weight of a concrete countertop? I was thinking about going with this option as well, but I read online somewhere that you shouldn't put concrete countertops on particleboard cabinets because they aren't as strong. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this? Also, did you use the Ikea legs with the cabinets or did you build your own base? Thanks!

I use salted butter for everything. I've never had a problem and I bake often. I just reduce the salt that it calls for in the recipe.

I agree. I would absolutely hate having to sit in someone's second-hand smoke and probably wouldn't use my balcony if that was the case, which would be unfair. It's probably not as disgusting if you're a smoker. Anything you do that affects someone else's life when living in an apartment or condo, whether it's second-hand smoke, or a barking dog in the middle of the night, is going to be an annoyance. At least a barking dog isn't a health hazard.

A group of girlfriends and I have regular clothing swaps a few times a year. Every few months, we clean out our closets, bring our bags to someone's house and rummage through the clothes that everyone else brings. Everything left over is donated to the women's shelter or another charity in need.

Big Bird's Banana Bread is my fave to this day. I don' t think I've tried Cookie Monster's Sugar Cookies!
