Thanks for the framed spoon idea. I inherited a couple hundred of those tiny spoons and forks and they just sit in a silver drawer because there's not a lot of modern-day uses for them.

I saw Paula Deen even "designs" furniture now. I didn't know what to think...

I use remnants of lemons to make whiskey sours. I like to avoid using that nasty store bought mix.

I want to make the cinnamon candies out of Saveur but I don't know where to get cinnamon oil or extract. All I can find if the fake cinnamon flavoring stuff.

I agree with the person who said to get a pet. Having a pet is like having a roommate without any of the negatives (except the litter box). They sleep half the day and are thrilled and eternally grateful to you for merely giving them half a cup of food. When you come home from a long day at work they don't pester you with conversation. It's great!

I found it hard to adjust to cooking for one also. I love to cook, so I guess I got used to it quicker than some people. But I love to bake and don't eat a ton of sweets and I was accustomed to living with family or roommates who would eat up everything I baked within a matter of hours. I never had to "eat it up" to avoid it going bad. Now I have to bake half portions.

I also like your cat alot.

I have that Eiffel Tower lamp too!

Love your cat.

I love the mailbox, you're right, it was worth the cost because it's so eye-catching.

I like your kitchen with the cute mini oven/stove!

Oh my, I can't believe someone else is as interested in cream peas as I am! My grandmother lives in Jackson, MS and that's the first and only place I've ever seen them and eaten them. In Jackson, they are actually sold in grocery stores frozen by a large company (can't recall the name). She actually buys them for me, freezes them and flies down to South FL (where I live) with them in her luggage just so I can have them. They are no where to be found in FL.
