My mom always braised kale with olive oil, onions, salt, pepper and nutmeg.

It's perfect for my new apartment (or my friend who wants one too).

Accent color is red.

Just hang it. It will straighten eventually. Had one last year and have it again this year.

turkey, squash and broccoli - keep it simple and healthy

I have two different types of flor tiles and I love them. I have some in a solid, low cut red that get heavy use (including my cat using them as a scratch pad) which I think still look great after 3 years. (My other is new so we'll just leave that out of this discussion. It's only a testament that I like flor.) They are not worn out at all. I can't speak to every type of flor tile, but you need to consider what you are getting in terms of a pattern, texture and color and which will hide or hightlight dirt. I've always thought most carpets of the old wall to wall variety don't hold up well, with the exception of berber which I think holds up great. Also, I can't think of how many throw rugs I've had in the past that I've just tossed after a while b/c they got old and worn out - I sort of put flor tiles in the same category - I want them short term. It's the wood, stone, or tile, etc. underneath that needs to last forever.
