I have granite countertops in my rental. While it's not something I would have chosen for myself (I too prefer quartz), I love their practicality. They don't show dirt or usage, unlike my previous rentals' formica countertops. I love that I can wipe crumbs right into the sink. All About: Granite Countertops Countertop Spotlight |

Roast it before adding the water! I usually rinse my quinoa in a sieve, then roast it in a dry pan until it starts to pop like pop-corn. Then, I add water in a 2:1 ratio, cover and simmer for about 15-20 min. Help Me Cook Better Quinoa! Good Questions |

My favourite spice shop (www.epicesdecru.com) sells these. Be careful! Grate it using a microplane or pound it in a cast iron mortar and pestle. Don't use any other type of mortar and pestle or a spice mill. It's very hard and it will break most other instruments. Old Favorite, New Form: What Is This Mystery Spice? |

I love mine. You can absolutely make your own yogurt without a yogurt maker. Yes, it's a one-trick pony. However, you plug it in and forget about it for 4-12 hours. It's ridiculously convenient, and that's why I got it. Should I Buy a Yogurt Maker? Good Questions |

Will your hubby let you stain them? My parents had a very similar kitchen, and they had the cabinets stained a dark brown.

I'd echo what surplusj says, and add this: if you want to give, please do. But please don't earmark your donations for the Japanese disaster. Some organisations (like the Japanese Red Cross) have already said that they have enough funds. If you give without insisting that your funds go to Japan, the organisation will be able to use the money where it needs it the most. A Bake Sale for Japan: On Doing What We Can |
