I second Diethood on the French Toast front.
I usually make a big batch and then freeze the leftovers.
In the AM pop a few slices into the toaster and you're good to go.

Home ec wasn't offered when i was in high school or middle school. I always wished we had the option.
I think most students would appreciate a break in the day where they'd have an opportunity to do hands on work, plus, the vast majority of ppl i know have no idea how to sew or cook.

My boyfriend took "Creative Foods" in high school and still uses skills he learned then. He won't eat a pancake but he can sure make a good one for me when I'm feeling down.

I don't think it's a "girl" class the way it might have been perceived decades ago. If food is involved just about anyone will take part.

A friend came to stay for the New Year's holiday and he brought his own towels. I was pretty offended. "What, you think i have dirty towels? My towels arent good enough for you?"
He said that most of his other friends don't have more than one towel.
I know it shouldn't bother me. But after cleaning my house and doing laundry to make sure there were clean sheets and towels... i felt like my efforts were wasted.

Water heaters dont belong on the 4th floor. When they break the ruin the paint on the 3rd floor.

We've got some painting to do and this would be a huge help!

This might be better than my constant nagging.
My parents go through cases of bottled water every week, perhaps this could help.

My fear of buying the wrong machine has put me into a state of inertia. Winning one would make everything better.

-to everyone who's sewing machine has broken... which brands?

My mum's is ~60 years old and works beautifully.

The India Rose bag inspires me to go find my first communion dress and sew up the lining to make a bag.
Love it!

My bedroom is in an attic w/ just two slanted walls. Once we tucked the bed under the slanted bed most of the head banging stopped (I'm 5'10" and my bf is 6'2").
The views from bed are great through my roof window. But bad weather just a few feet from your face can cause nightmares.
At first I thought it was awesome that the closets were tucked in the corners where the dormers are but now I dread hunching down under the beams to get into my closets... I still contend that it would be perfect for little kids.

My mom has a bunch of them. Hers are from the Crate & Barrel outlet store where they were about a $1.50 each.

I work for a company that makes composting toilets and designs greywater systems. If we sell 10 greywater systems in a year it's a big year. We've found that there are only a handful of states that have regulations about greywater and as a result local authorities are so unfamiliar with them that they won't grant permits at all.
