Yes, what would be a good mung bean alternative - and preferably not edamame as I have to watch soy intake? This looks delicious and healthy, and I definitely want to give it a try!

@madknitter, I use Cameo cleaner on my copper-bottomed pots. Not a natural fix per se, but it is amazing how quickly it gets off the grime and keeps the bottom of my revere-ware shining.

I didn't have a problem with my cast-iron pan or LeCreuset on my glass induction top....but the Revereware I had didn't like the top and seemed off-balance somehow. No joke, they would skitter around on the stove-top. No cracks or nicks despire heavy usage but there's a few little spots that just wouldn't go away.

I do like how this looks, very much. My only question is whether you're planning on using the apples, cranberries, etc. afterwards or not? Because then I do question the no-waste idea.

My grandmother used to peel the asparagus and then cook it into submission (shudder).....so I snap.

I like the idea of this, but not the selected items. It's just not very practical, though, since I don't have an apartment building with an area where I could spray paint, and it's not that easy to find spray paint in Chicago. It's so much more effort to do that than to keep looking for the right elements and accessories (and the sales that make them affordable!) to bring into my apartment.

I like this set of pictures better than the first, although I had to go back to see the floor plan and see how it fits together. I do like the balcony, and some of the furniture, but it's not a slam-dunk for me.

I bought the 2-bin recycle center on Saturday. I spent some time thinking about what would work in my limited kitchen floor space, and I could not be happier with it. It had some grime on it, since it was a floor model, but it cleaned up beautifully (and I got 10% off). It works very well - the pulls are good, I like that the pails are removable for cleaning...it was expensive, yes, but since it works so well for me, well worth it.

please please!
