To pepe2012's comment that "a mug [of coffee with butter in it] is enough to substitute for both breakfast and lunch"... uhhhh - no. Well, maybe what you mean is that *you* substitute caffeine + fat for real food up to 2 meals a day. But... enough what? Because that cannot be a long-term thing.

A spoon is not the correct vehicle for Vegemite, people! Anybody will scrunch up their face if given Vegemite on a spoon. The correct vehicle is a piece of hot buttered toast. Geez. Watch and Sympathize: Kids Experiencing the First Taste of New Foods Video |

I LOVE the aesthetic of these rooms. So creative and real-life. But an empty bottle of Veuve as decor in a kids room? Really? Art-Fueled, Playful, Kid Heaven Kids Room Tour |

My first thought on seeing this post was "God, more-more-more. This world makes me so sad." And although it was nice to see FiatLex's comment - "Gadget lust in exchange for human rights doesn't seem like a fair trade" - it's also sad that it's swamped by dozens of other comments that mostly just re-inforce the culture of endless consumption, endless material lust. I really hate that I'm sounding preachy (as I know I probably do), because I love a gorgeous object as much as the next AT-er. But really, it makes me despair for the planet (in every sense of the term) that so many people think nothing of lusting after, and getting, the latest version of something which they *already have*.

I still haven't reached the point that a lot of commenters seem to, where I choose my furniture based on "investment pieces", and it's all good quality stuff carefully selected to fit in with my aesthetic. But then I think the focus on having a complete collection of nice furniture as a sort of "goal" to achieve in your mid or late twenties, might be a particularly American thing? I certainly haven't encountered it anywhere else. I see it as something that happens over one's lifetime, and that is born out of travel, different life stages, and an organic evolution of one's personal style, and I for one am looking forward to that being an ongoing process through my life.

I hate to be the one who jumps on the grammar mistakes in a post, but the second sentence of your first paragraph is just a mess. Gift at the Gardner: Not Your Average Museum Shop Store Profile |

Sorry, I meant to add at the end of the above comment, that avos wouldn't work for frying mushrooms because obviously they're a solid even when heated, unlike butter, so wouldn't get soaked up into the mushroom flesh to lubricate and flavour them.

Pandas_On_Slides, I doubt you could substitute avo for butter for frying in general, because I think the avo-in-baking concept works mostly on the idea that they replace the moistness and binding properties of the butter, not the fat itself. But you DEFINITELY could not use it to fry mushrooms in, because mushrooms are like little sponges that soak up all the fat you fry them in (that's why you're always meant to do them in butter, not oil or any other fat, because when all the fat is retained in the food being fried it really changes the flavour).

@Zaba - "And, seriously, do you want to provide a living wage to someone who really is not meant to be in the service industry? Or, would you rather increase the wages of those who do an excellent job every time you enter that restaurant? If it is the former, it is your steak that is overcooked and your water that is never refilled, not mine." 5 Things Your Bartender Isn't Telling You |

Janet Brandt, not sure if it's the same where you are, but here in Australia basically all feta is either Greek or Danish (or rather, Greek-style or Danish-style); plus "Persian feta", which I think describes the marinade of oil instead of brine, rather than actual style. Greek is firm and crumbly and sharply salty, whereas Danish is softer and creamy, and, while still salty, seems to have a much more rounded, milder saltiness, sort of like a slightly salty cream cheese or quark. Maybe you should try this style? Cook's Tip: Always Keep Feta Cheese In Your Refrigerator |

Nic M, and the couple of other fellow Australians on this thread - I totally agree with you. I too was flabbergasted to read Shayna's statement that bartenders in MA make just a couple bucks an hour (even with the big difference in average cost of living between our two countries). That's appalling! And what's the point of a government mandating a "minimum wage" if there are entire industries in which workers earn a fraction of the so-called minimum, and it's legal?? 5 Things Your Bartender Isn't Telling You |
