Wow, I did not know flax was so pretty. I eat flax seed every day. I just may have to try this, brown thumb or not.

Wow, look at that cake!

These are all great. I'm definitely trying at least one of them.

We made a box robot costume this past October. My four-year-old still wears it once in a while, and it's on permanent display in his room.

This is such a refreshing read, perfect for a lazy Sunday morning that is quickly dissolving into a moderately busy Sunday afternoon.

A couple of weekends ago I made a big pot of split pea soup and had a similar satisfied all-day reverie. Soup requires more chopping and such, and I burst into sobs for a while while slicing up the onion, but after that it's just a lot of occasional monitoring and stirring as everything gradually transforms. No beautiful clay pot, either: a crock pot, and a rice cooker. I made way too much, but we got two wonderful meals out of it and leftovers for the next week.

I'm no cook. I, too, am in a rat race every day, working and parenting and husbanding. For me, a pot of slow cooking stuff is indeed magical.

This is one of those things you pinch yourself for not thinking of.

@Barry1 -- Isn't this a fairly boorish comment? Geez.

Wow.

If only I could somehow find a way to make washing dishes fulfilling...

You know, I am usually pretty open-minded, but this is kind of a silly thing, isn't it? It can be viewed as a piece of art, but surely not used as a table. Maybe I am more of a philistine than I think I am.
