I'm tackling the back wall of my living/dining area. It's become a catchall for random stuff. There's a table in the center of the wall with our fish tank on it and under the table is pretty much everything you could think of - a trash can, plastic storage containers, a bucket for changing the fish's water. It looks terrible, to say the least. The plan is to find or create a place to store those items. We've also recently added new cabinetry in our kitchen, replacing a freestanding cart from ikea. So now the cart is in the dining area and it doesn't look too pretty. I'm still deciding if I want to craigslist it or hang on to it.

This looks so delicious. I'm glad to see a tofu option in place of the bacon, too.

I very much dislike when recipes that need water at some point don't include water in the ingredients list. I had this experience the other day making crackers. I scanned the ingredient list and it simply said flour, oil, salt. I thought, huh that's weird. Then in the steps, it said to add 3/4 cup of water to the mix. But I missed that and ended up with a weird sandlike mixture until I stopped and slowly re-read the recipe. I even consulted a similar recipe in another cookbook, which did the exact same thing.
Just put water in the ingredients list. It's an ingredient, right?

The zucchini does look delicious. I'm going to make it right now.

I love pretzel rolls. The whole foods here in Philly has taken it one step further and brought out pretzel baguettes.

Great idea. Question, though: how far apart did you space the seeds when you planted them and did you have to thin them out as they grew?

Thank you for this. It's very helpful--the last time I had to buy burgundy (for cooking), I had no idea what I was looking for and the store clerk sent me in the direction of the boxed and jug wines.

Love that shortbread pan.

Great idea!

If you live in Philly, you should definitely check out Fante's on 9th street. That store is awesome.
