*sigh.* good luck feeding any of these to the allergic/intolerant/picky kid. nice try though kitchn.

and guess what? some of us have perfectly valid reasons for eating the food we do. they may be allergies that could actually kill us - are our children's lives less important than your need to serve them nuts? or they may simply be deeply thought out lifetime commitments that are just as important to us. maybe y'all should come over to our houses, try a dish and ask about it before being so judgmental? i say this having just left a dinner where i was surrounded by three steaks, where i enjoyed my salad without a word of judgement to those around me, because that's what most vegetarians/vegans etc have learned to do just to get along. the same courtesy in return would be nice now and then.

Can I just say that while the burgers at Northstar are certainly delicious and worth this much commentary, if you are ever in town and have the occasion to visit Northstar more than once, also try the Buddha Bowl! Perfectly cooked bright veggies with brown rice and tofu (or chicken) and delicious peanut sauce..I would love the receipe for this! Also the ginger and rosemary sweet potato fries.... and the mint ginger ale...

I have a 9 year old who still loves to play in her wooden play kitchen (located in the family room because my real kitchen is too small for this) - especially when her friends come over. Usually the play is centered around working in a restaurant, and includes being a working mom (one of them plays the overworked, infinitely patient mom, the other plays the surly, mouthy kid.) I didn't make that happen, it's just what they know and imagine. We had a small portable wooden play kitchen as well that we gave to the two boys next door and they love it just as much. Play kitchens are awesome!

On the other hand, brushing your teeth with a fresh toothbrush after feeling so crappy sounds like a nice way to return to the land of the living!

"(because potty is a funny word)"

love it! good tips too, thanks.

Just discovered this show last night and did EXACTLY that - stayed up half the night watching the entire first season on Netflix. It's is SO good! Yes to the watch club indeed!

Ugh, I'm so happy to put away the Christmas decorations, it seems so much less cluttered afterwards! But I like the idea of the childhood nostalgia, after inheriting a lot of things from my family I do that year round!

I totally love this. Could you just fill up the tires with something (pebbles etc?) to make them appear pumped up, instead of worrying about them going flat?

LOVE it!!!!

Could the stainless steel have to do with neutralizing the smell on the bowls? I know that's supposedly a way to get it off your hands- rub them on some stainless steel (not sure if this works - personally I like the smell on my hands so I don't bother.) So I'm guessing any strong container would work.
