I agree with the other two posters. I was like "Wow, did Netflix start a kiosk like Redbox? How are you going to fit DVDs in there?"

Me likey.

It's not that I'm scared of fondant, it's just that almost no one wants to eat it when we make cakes with it. It usually gets thrown away and is mostly there for show. I feel like that's a waste. But I know to each their own. Some people do.

Youtube has some examples of these noises. Not sure how well the "quality" of it is but if you want to get an idea of what they sound like.

I agree with the ph0enixinflight....I want these for myself!

Broccoli and cheese soup or chicken noodle soup.

I hope they got to use their new kitchen a lot before they sold it.

I've been in my current place for four years and it has its benefits and definite problems:

1.) The landlords themselves. Depending on what the problem is they are very slow to respond. If there is a plumbing problem they'll take care of it because they don't want damage to the property. But the family of skunks that have been living under the house? It's taken two years to try to resolve because they don't want to pay the money to have the crawlspace under the house repaired. Do they have smoke detectors installed? Some states (such as the one I'm living in) require them to be installed by the landlords...mine weren't. I had to buy my own. I don't know what the laws are in other states. Ask around and see how reputable your landlords are and how well they take care of the property and their renters. I know there are some websites that rate the properties.

2.) The plumbing. Flush the commode. Turn on the water if you can. Check on water pressure. I discovered my toilet backs up every six months and the sewer line has to be cleaned out because of tree limbs growing into the pipes. It's hard to tell when looking at the property for a few moments but its something to consider.

3.) The windows. Check and see how old the windows are. Mine, I'm guessing, are original to the house (which was built in the 1930/40s). They are 9-pane windows that are so poor on insulation that during the winter if I'm sitting next to them I need to have a space heater and gloves. This will effect your utilities. Also check to see if the windows are painted shut.

Good luck!

The only time I ever use salt is a little dash on my steamed broccoli. Otherwise I use black pepper or no-salt Mrs. Dash or most things. It gives it a better flavor.

Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Homestyle Four Cheese with Bread crumbs. I add bacon crumbles and chives. It's my super guilty pleasure but its so yummy.

I also like picking up the bags of pre-cut granny smith apples and mixing up a dip with peanut butter, vanilla yogurt, cinnamon sugar, and raisins.
