Sometimes I use them when handling raw chicken. I'm a little unreasonable when it comes to chicken... I wouldn't cook it for years because I didn't have a dishwasher to sanitize everything afterward. I'm not a huge clean-freak, so I'm not sure why chicken makes me so crazy.

I suppose it is only cool to leave the color name and number if it is Pantone!

I agree with bepsf... this post doesn't seem prepared for publishing! We have no idea what they want to use the room for, how big it is, what the rest of the room looks like, etc.

Anyway, congratulations on your new house!

I usually use parchment paper or plastic wrap as well. Sometimes I like a bit of floury powder on the bottom of my cookie though - is that weird? It's like the cornmeal on the bottom of an English muffin (my favorite half)!

I also think "giving" someone a donation in their name is a strange thing. Who says I want a donation given to such-and-such charity in my name? Also, how do you present that to the "receiver"? It does come off as rather self-righteous, in my view.

But then, gift-giving is about thinking of the receiver - so I suppose it depends on the person!

I think Texas Sheet Cake is like an easier, more casual version of a German Chocolate Cake, which was originally created in Texas. Maybe that is where the name came from...it was just a common chocolate cake in Texas (where pecans are plentiful!).

My husband and I live in a ~650 sq.ft. apartment with a great floor plan. It is just large enough that we don't feel cramped. But I would love to have an extra room to use as an office/hobby room. My husband has a lot of music stuff that we keep in the living room and the coat closet right now, and it would be so nice to have that somewhere else. I'd also like to have a place to work on projects, etc. where I wouldn't have to see them all the time.

Yeah, what is "destructi-ist"? Did you really mean "destructionist", or is it some new term that haven't heard? lol

Anyway, I think the floor is fantastic! How lucky that you were able to uncover such a gem! It looks great with the white cabinets/tile and the modern features.

And really, the washer and dryer don't bother me. They go well with the rest of the kitchen. Just another appliance in a room already full of them, right!

Wow, this is GREAT!

I love this!! That couch is a gorgeous color, and everything just goes together so fantastically!
