My least favorite thing is having the pile of dirty dishes in the sink. I don't know why! Maybe because I don't like restricted access to the faucet, I think that has a lot to do with it. But I will pile them everywhere except in the sink itself. How I Hide the Dirty Dishes In My Open Kitchen |

When we used to get a CSA box every two weeks (maybe two years ago now), I had to go out of town unexpectedly for about three weeks, and we'd just received a new box. I put everything away and explained it all to my partner, fully expecting him to eat the food we had in the fridge because it was stuff he enjoys, and he really loves to eat vegetables. But I came home to a fridge full of sad, beyond saving produce. 4 Pizzas and a Burrito: What They Eat When I'm Away |

A downstairs neighbor in a studio has moved out of our Mission apartment building, and I'm looking forward to seeing the craigslist ad when the unit finally goes back up for rent. He'd only lived there for a year and was paying 1600$/month - for a *studio*. I wouldn't be surprised if they raise it to 1800$. The Heartbreak of Giving Up a Rent-Controlled Apartment |
