@ Amy
Sorry about your ulcer condition I hope you will get well soon .I'm trying to think of a high calorie recipe but every single one comes to my mind now either it has tomato ,dairy,or spices :( .Honey is good but I dont have a recipe ,I just add it to a piece of bread /toast

Anything I cook more than twice is stored there in my head except the most famous dish from my country (Iraq) which is called dolma ,I always need to go to the book and read the full recipe plus whatever notes I wrote to the side .
Here's the recipe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClbGb1hgluc ,I dont fellow this exact one ,I have developed a special spices and herbs mixes,and I use smaller vegetables and more greens (grape leaves and swiss chards),also I cant stand lamb meat ,so I go with ground beef,and for rice I use sushi rice, but main recipe is the same

One of the most incredible houses I've ever seen whether on the internet or in RL ,I absolutely love every single detail of it.

Just make sure if you add yogurt to any soup that the soup is simmering not boiling because if you add yogurt to boiling liquid it will separate.

One of my fav soup is cooked with yogurt ,just saute minced garlic in a pot add like 3/4 cup of rice and stirr with the garlic for few mins ,add 3 cups of unsalted chicken stock and let it cook uncovered for about half an hour ,then add the yogurt and mix on low heat ,add ground pepper and dried mint to the mix .In a sperate bowl mix seasoned ground beef ,semolina(three or four times the amounts of the beef) ,salt ,pepper,and dried parsely flakes,then add water(like 1/4 cup) to the mix till you can form a ball with the dough,if dough is too dry add more water if too thin and runny add more semolina ,now spoon dough by the tablespoon full and form ball shape with hands and cook in the yogurt soup while soup is simmering for about 5-10 mins.Add salt the last thing to avoid separation .

I usually stuff medium sized onions,swiss chard leaves,grape leaves,small sweet peppers ,white cabbages with a mix of ground beef,rice,chopped herbs,spices,olive oil ,and tomato sauce cooked all in one pot ,I arrange them in layers and cover with water(has some lemon juice,tomato sauce,spices and salt ) when done just place a tray or a large dish on top of the pot and flip pot upside down.
other dish is stuffing small asian eggplants with a mix of chopped tomatoes,chopped parsely,ground beef ,then cook in a stew .
Also I do stuffed cabbages (with ground turkey and herbs) and cook in a pomegranate molasses the sweet sour one .

oh ya and when we were about to buy the house we thought about the piano,we thought we will take the guest room since it has a tiny bathroom attached to it and give my daughter the master so she can fit her piano there ,never thought about how to get it inside the master bedroom in the first place.

use bdr 1 as a master,divided bdr 2 with a wall use ,the part with the bathroom for your parents,open a door for the second half of bdr2 behind the door of the bdr1 ,and if you dont want the bedrooms to be open to eachother ,you can place the original door of the room back by the wall .or do what I do I keep extra full size trundle bed with ikea mattress under my bed ,when someone stays in for few days ,I just give him my daughter's room and make my daughter sleep with us ,it is fun for few days but remember you have to move all clothes and toys out to ur room.

Completely agree with jokesgrrl ,the only difference is that I am a neat freak.Beautiful house no doubt,but in my case I can never live there,the stress from not being able to clean everything and every single detail on a daily basis will overwhelm my mind and kill me.

switch the places between the tv and the mirror,place a narrow white table/tv stand under the tv ,and place the white chair you have in the corner now beside the white table/tv stand;place the big chair in the corner in the place of the white chair (beside the fireplace).pull the chair currently under the mirror to the otherside of the sofa ,get the glass cabinet out of the room .
