@Litnerd, have you tried a Cost Plus World Market? They have a lot of different jars like that... The stores typically have a wider selection but I found these on their website. ? Good luck! Marina's Boozy NYC Kitchen Kitchen Spotlight |

I wasn't trying to be in any way authentic but I just scarfed a bowl of this so I thought I'd share... For a single serving, I used 3 oz dry pasta, 2 slices bacon, 1 egg, 1/4ish cup parmesan and 1/4ish cup hard Spanish sheep's milk cheese (not Manchego, but I threw out the label) and threw in a handful of chopped grilled leeks I had in the fridge. Plus tons of black pepper and a zip of Sriracha (I'm a spicy girl). Authentic Spaghetti alla Carbonara Recipes from The Kitchn |

Oh man. I used to be a server in a horribly-managed restaurant whose claim to fame were the popovers brought out before your meal. Served with a trio of butters (plain, strawberry and pesto). I used to sub in the kitchen as the popover cook from time to time... I've cooked MANY a popover in my day! That joint taught me a lot about life, but also how to make a *bitching* bread pudding from the leftover popovers. NOM. How to Make Popovers |

These suggestions are so wonderful and I send my very best wishes to you and your husband. Swallowing issues can be so scary-- and I feel it's my duty as a speech-language pathologist to urge you to get a full swallow study by an experienced speech-language pathologist ASAP (if you haven't already). Changing diet textures can be helpful but an SLP can also give your husband some other strategies (e.g. pacing, positioning, other adaptive measures) that can help him to eat and enjoy meals more safely. And yes, unless an SLP tells you otherwise, I'd recommend you avoid straws. What Are Good Recipes for a Liquid, Choke-Proof Diet? Good Questions |

@CBiskit, those whiskey chocolate chip cookies are BRILLS!!! My partner is having his poker night tonight and while I was planning on making Smitten Kitchen's brown butter rice krispy treats (and still will), these are just too good to pass up.

As someone who recently tried out homemade whole wheat English muffins I can offer a whole-hearted, resounding MEH. Maybe it was the recipe I used... but yeah. Thomas for the Win. Breakfast Recipe: English Muffin French ToastRecipes from The Kitchn |

Faye, if you come by this post I am *dying* to know where you got the hand sculpture thing on the mantel. It's an ASL 'f', right? Would love to know the source on that! Faye's All the Trimmings Small Cool Contest |

I usually work out before work (and breakfast) so hopefully my experience is somewhat similar? I usually go for a half a banana or half of a Luna/Lara/Cliff/etc bar. A whole bar is too much-- makes me feel really full once I drink a big glass of water but a half-bar is easy to scarf in the car, gives my body a little something to burn (I'm no nutritionist either, but I feel like maybe that's true) and still makes me ready for breakfast post-work out.

My first thought was that these would be GREAT (though, as @Grapevine mentions above, perhaps a little too great) for children with sensorimotor needs. Many of the parents I work with would DIE for a way to get a swing indoors safely to use for various therapies. These would be wonderful! Bunk & Loft Bed Inspiration from Billi-Bolli |

I love Rilke, even named by blog after a Rilke poem. This also reminds me of a line from the documentary "How to Cook Your Life" which is something like, "treat your food as carefully as you would treat your own eyes." Love & Time Weekend Meditation |

My best friend is a kettle-cooked chip and sour cream FIEND. I always thought it was super odd until I gave in and tried it. Of course, it's scrumptious. I'm sure cottage cheese would also be delicious. Weird Yet Addictive Appetizer: Cottage Cheese & Potato Chips |

@Jeanlouisefinch, that apple variation sounds so yummy, too! I've got the pumpkin version in the oven right now (with reduced sugar, crystallized ginger, almond/coconut milk) but I'd love a spring-ier version like your apple batch! Will have to try.

We also have an Aerobed (queen size) and LOVE it for occasional guests who typically stay 2-3 nights max. However, I can vouch for the tip of keeping pets off it. Our pittie LOVES the air mattress and LOVES waking up our slumbering guests to snuggle up with them on what I'm sure he views as a giant playpen. Our previous Aerobed developed a hole and a fully blame our pitt bull. :) Hosting Help: Tips for Sleeping Comfortably on an Air Mattress |
