I do a varient of this. I'm more than a little OCD about my hangers, so having them face the wrong way was not an option. Instead I put a washer over the top of each hook. When I wear an item, I slip the washer off the hanger and put it in a small dish by my closet. At the end of the year anything with a hanger goes to Goodwill.

When I receive an invite from someone I tell them that I have dietary restrictions and offer to bring food along. When offered food unexpectedly, I'll thank the person, refuse and again reference dietary restrictions. If the person wants to discuss those restrictions the option is there without them having to feel lectured or judged by my personal choices. I eat a vegan diet with the exception of meat that I know the history of (I have been to the farm or hunted it myself) so it can take some explaining. I haven't had many problems with hosts, though. After the first time, they know what to expect, and are happy to share cooking duties with me. Good luck!

Aimsly - My kitchen exactly. And several of my old ones. I'd love to see some nicely design "hallway kitchens" like ours.

Why buy a bunch of glass jars? Pickle/sauce jars and such will do the trick. If you feel up to it, paint the lids, or even the jars themselves. Less expensive, less wasteful.

Beautiful!

terrific idea for backpacking/camping. Thanks!

Great idea! Does anyone have a link to a Canadian directory to share?

Good idea.

This is fantastic! I stuck with paper for years because I need to be able to see things crossed off. This things has everything I could think of and a bit more without the paper waste. Thanks!
