pancakes... But when I eat eggs (cooked any way) they must be eaten on or in something else, like on toast, mixed with hash browns, or in a tortilla. By themselves I'm just not interested!

Cool!

Just made the dark chocolate peanut butter banana bread...heavenly.

Whenever I have left over water from boiling tea or pasta or something, I pour it over the sponge in the sink; which I feel is a good way to keep the sponge (and the sink) a little cleaner. This doesn't substitute of course for normal cleaning, but can be a good quickie cleaning to add to a routine.

OK, this makes the bathroom smell great, but does NOT work on fiberglass tubs. :/

Persimmon cake!! It's to die for. It usually comes out reminding me of carrot cake or zucchini bread - a mild flavor of persimmon, but really moist and delicious. It's also fantastic with a cream cheese frosting or some sort of mascarpone+honey concoction on top.

This one looks similar to the one I've used in the past http://www.nevadaweb.com/owc/html/persimmon.html

We have a play area at a nearby shopping mall - the play structures include a small ferris wheel, some bounce houses, and one slide which bothers us greatly: it's an inflatable slide made to look like the sinking Titanic ship.

Hooray for Malbec!! This is my all-time favorite variety of red - in fact, it wasn't until I tried a Malbec (in Bariloche, nonetheless) that I realized I enjoyed red wines at all! I credit Malbec for my newfound love of reds. YUM.

This is too funny- I was JUST thinking that I ought to find out how to make Malai Kofta- it's our favorite dish when we go out to eat!

Jessica, I think the versions of Malai Kofta that we are most familiar with do contain a bit of tomato - I don't think it's the most prominent flavor (or color) usually, but all the recipes I've found so far do include tomato. Maybe the restaurant you went to had a special version w/o tomato?

This is the recipe I'm thinking of trying, as it seems similar to what I'm familiar with http://indianfood.about.com/od/vegetarianrecipes/r/malaikofta.htm , or maybe this one ('cause the pic looks yummy!) http://myrecipeflavors.blogspot.com/2009/04/malai-kofta.html

Ugh! We suffer from this, too, however we don't have any children yet. We worry about what will happen when we do, since we ourselves are awakened by our cats on a nightly basis.

Since I cannot sleep with cats jumping on and off the bed at night, pouncing on my feet every time I move, we have chosen to close our bedroom door at night, and this has become the cats' sole purpose in life- to get through our closed door.

Like some others have mentioned, we've eliminated the morning feeding, but this still doesn't seem to do the trick. I wish I had some advice to offer, but really all I can do is sympathize with all of you.
