Here is a link to the seitan that we use at the community dinner I co-host http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=373017901&blogID=394052611

It's pretty easy once you've given it a practice run. We season it all sorts of different ways and have found it to be very versatile and this makes a decent amount. Feel free to send questions to the myspace (myspace.com/denvegancommunitydinner) if you need help making it!

I have to say, it's a little weird being the one on the other end of this... I will admit, I'm a little sloppy. Now, we're not talking gross 3-week-old dishes sloppy, I just seem incapable of rehanging clothes after I have tried on several outfits for the day or actually removing junk from my car. However, my boyfriend is incredibly organized and it drives him nuts that I can't seem to make these small changes (what did he expect, he's been around for less than a year and I have been like this my whole life). However, what I have noticed are 2 things that might be helpful.

1) Decluttering is key. I moved recently and had to get rid of most of what I own. Turns out, even at the messiest cleaning is easier when you own very little.

2) It feels GREAT to come home to a clean place (we don't live together, but spending a lot of time in his place... or mine after he has "encouraged" me to clean) feels wonderful. I am mostly messy because of time constraints, but he keeps pointing out how easy it is just to take the extra 2 minutes to do a little cleaning here and there versus an all day overhaul. This makes it hard to not take those little extra steps. Yes, I want to kill him each time he points out how quickly he washed our two dishes from dinner, but he's right. I think Elvedon has a good point with this, as we just talk about my disorganization like we do everything else we have to come together on. So who knows... maybe some day I will tidy:)
