Rolen the Great's Profile

I used to arrange my books with way when I was little, because I thought it looked cool, and I had a lot of free time on my hands.
I'm totally cool with this system, but I'm a very visual person and tend to remember books more by their cover than their author or title. (I really like my yellow cookbook with the red spine that I cannot remember the title of.)
But no one could ever say my apartment looks to 'edited' or 'designerish'. ;)

This is something I could easily see being clutter in 50% of kitchens but I really like mine. Especially with soups and sauces. I'm also not a very experienced chopper, but I love garlic.

Picky children are one thing, but I have no patience for adults with this mentality. If he is a grown man I would tell him 'eat this or go buy and make your own dinner'.
On a slightly less mean note, I have a friend who agrees to 'try ONE new thing' each time we go out. She is quickly branching out her food palette, but this is something you'd have to get him to agree too.

I don't have a dishwasher either, I think it's way easier to just wash the dishes everyday. That way there are only a few and they never get gross. This plan backfires when I forget or procrastinate. Then the dishes always get super gross before I finally wash them.

Any clues about what 'pressed' tofu is? I found a Pad Thai recipe that called for it, when I couldn't find any at the store I found some instructions online that said you could just 'press' firm tofu between two cookie sheets with some weight on top (like a couple bags of dried beans). It held together fairly well in the wok. Is that all that pressed tofu is?

I'm a fan of Spirulina in my smoothies. I'm not entirely sure that counts but I'm not a big fan of the taste of spinach. Also there's a restaurant down the street from me that makes a killer 'fruit salad' it's got lettuce in it as well as loads of fresh fruit apples, dried cranberries, blueberries, grapes, and almonds. They serve it with Brie and pita bread. It's delicious.

We keep all the lids in one drawer, and all the containers in another.

Yeah I'm with the 'mass text' commenter above.
Personally I don't mind being reminded, but I always feel like a nag when I send out a reminder myself. A mass text also means you don't have to send ALL the info to EVERYONE. But there is always at least one person who forgets your address, or doesn't remember the time.

The 'perfect' refrigerator.
But it would be about 2/3 the size of my current refrigerator, use less than 1/2 as much electricity, have a salad crisper that kept the veggies fresher 25% longer, be self cleaning, have some type of lazy Susan in it so I wouldn't have to stretch to get the stuff in the back of my fridge, and it would be perfectly temperature controlled and never accidentally freeze my veggies AGAIN. Also it would have the perfect number of adjustable shelves and drawers. I don't know what that number is, but that is how many it would have.

Oh wow, love this so elegant and personalized.
