you could always try and make your own tofu, too!

@canadiancook It sounds like something went horribly wrong! Polenta is supposed to be silky and creamy and it tastes like heaven!

I just use an old jar or jug or something. But, something with a lid that closes tightly. We have lots of racoons and stray dogs in our neighborhood that would just love to help themselves.

It's best to rinse the grated potatoes. Also flour?! No way. You need to use Matzah Meal/Flour!

This was a great video!

I'm part of the camp that uses clear, glass jars. I like to see my spices!

I don't have a slow cooker and have no intention of getting one, so this is great.

@bepsf Do you own any Heath ceramics? If you do, how do you like them? I really want to get a set of nice dishes that are made in the USA, but I want to make sure they're worth the money.

@toughcupcake This may be mundane to you, but I get a thrill at seeing how to utilize space (that I'm paying for!) in any way. And this is right up my alley. I can "garden" even if I'm on the 3rd floor of an apartment building.

I have more of an issue with the cabinets than the dishwasher. They look like those rubbermaid container things. Don't like 'em.

And I could see myself living in one of these if I could put it on a fair sized parcel of land. I think it would encourage the dwellers to enjoy the outdoors more.

But, I prefer small homes with larger yards for gardening and relaxing.

I LOVE Lehman's. Great website.

I would love to keep bees someday.

I would pick up an inexpensive thermometer. I'd rather shell out a few dollars for an accurate thermometer than spend a night in the ER from eating uncooked chicken.

The kitchen is nice enough, but I could do without the sanctimony.

I LOVE the TV thing they have going on. Sometimes, I don't want to look at the TV and all the cords and boxes. I want it to just...go away.

I love the Black/White color scheme here, too. It's easy on the eyes and not too matchy.

I remember getting this cook book and the American Girl cookbooks for my birthday one year. I still have them, so I'll have to dig them back out!

Only two watch-instantly movies?! My watch-instantly list is ridiculously long.

I have an xbox360 for Netflix. I prefer it to AppleTV, which we tried. Netflix is more cost effective by far.

This is the perfect solution for my future workspace. I don't have a lot of floor space (that I want to give up, anyway) and I have a lot of stuff that needs to be stored. And let's face it, a lot of the stuff involved with letterpressing is kinda ugly. I don't want to stare at cans of ink.

Thanks, guys!

I always get a good laugh when people preface comments with "No offense, but..." or "hate to say it, but..."

If you mean no offense and you hate to say it, you wouldn't say it. Own your words and just say you don't like it. It's not like the preface softens the blow or makes you somehow look better.
