Dinner party favors?
Wasn't a full belly enough?

Nothing says party like making the floor unwalkable with tripping hazards.

If you leave your bucket full of needle covered branched in a dry sunny space long enough, the needles will dry and be ready to fall (with agitation).

I leave our tree up too long every year.
When it is time, I cut off branches and mulch some visible areas of the garden.
Then, I sweep up the needles and top dress some house plants (keeps cats out and looks nice).


Apartment Therapy New York | How To: Recycle Our Christmas Tree?

No more "look" at a bunch of crap that makes your place seem thematic for a month and a half, before it looks like crap.
And if a bunch of crap does have to get bought, how about no more Urban Outfitters? As "cool", "hip", "young" and "happening" as that place tries to appear, it's profits are funneled into anti-reproductive freedom, and anti-equal rights organizations by a reclusive right wing zealot.
Don't get me started.

"You'll get a new kitchen faucet before thanksgiving" (a week ago, and still nothing)
"I'll replace the soapdish in the shower tomorrow" (3 years ago"
"We'll have a motion activated light in the driveway this summer" (12 years ago)

What can I say?
The rent is fabulous.

Can anybody tell me the source for the low shelving unit in "Matt's cool and concrete dwelling"?
Looks like Ikea, but it's not on line...

The past several days has seen a McCain/Palin sign planted in front of the house.
Sure, a mean trick, a prank, but not the nightmare it would be if this joke somehow altered this election.
AAAAAAHHHHH!

Sheesh, I only wish I got paid in dust bunnies and bleeding hearts brownie points.
Last week on pay day, I got hit with a face full of rock salt and said thank you.

A better job reupholstering would have made those chairs really look designer. As of now, they look cool and hip for the idea, but kind of sloppy in execution...

My understanding is that there are 2 types of tarragon: Russian and French. And one should only plant French tarragon if one plans to use it for cooking. I don't know the difference, but both are sold at nurseries.
That said, I planted French tarragon years ago, I still have it, I never use it.
I don't really like Tarragon much, but will use it if a recipe calls for it, as a complimentary flavor, not the main flavor.
