WOW this is stunning. I love pretty much everything- especially the coffee table. This is the most livable 300 square feet I've seen on AT.

I agree with whoever said that you could have just painted the old cabinets. Stylistically, the new ones are not much different- they're just white. That's just me being extremely cheap, though. Great work! Hope to see the rest of the condo as well.

I thought the same thing about the avocado...maybe there's some citrus in there that helps? But still- I'm skeptical.

I've been growing a dwarf meyer lemon tree for almost two years now and have only gotten one stinking lemon. It was the size of a kumquat and never fully ripened. Does it take a few years, or did I get a dud, or am I just terrible in general? Any tips? I keep it outside on my porch late spring to mid-fall (to avoid frost) and then give it to my mom for the winters because she has nice sunny windows.

@portlandvegan: I got mine for $5 at Lowe's at the end of the gardening season when it was 90% off.

You don't even know!!! I should mention though- I add more milk than the recipe states. If the batter feels too thick, you can add more milk and it won't affect how awesome they are. The recipe says 3/4 c., but I usually end up adding an additional 1/2 c. approximately.


Ingredient Spotlight: Malted Milk Powder

Normally I don't feel compelled to share links, but I've been using a pancake recipe with malted milk powder and they are so unbelievably delicious that I have to. I didn't even like pancakes until I tried these, and they always turn out perfect, every time. This is not my recipe, I found it on TastyKitchen.

I do avocado instead of mayo, alfalfa sprouts instead of lettuce, and a warm pita (whole, not pocket) instead of bread. Delish. Gotta make sure your bacon is uber salty though. awwww yeah.

I second the healthy casseroles suggestion. I like the idea, but the the thought of canned soup just makes me cringe.

I get Greek Gods my plain and snack yogurt. It's super thick and has a great texture. If you strain it through a coffee filter overnight, it's spreadable like cream cheese by morning (and about 10% of the calories). The honey variety is my go-to dessert. I'd gladly choose it over ice cream (but maybe not frozen custard...I am a midwest girl, afterall).

I love old typewriters, and I have a great one- but I haven't put it out because I guess I don't really see the point. I need all the deskspace I have (and then some), and it's just not functional. Bx, I think I agree with you.

The light fixture above my kitchen sink gets really hot- it has those weird cone shaped halogen light bulbs. Not ideal, but if I need to thaw something it's awesome. I just put whatever it is in my cast iron sink, turn on the light and walk away for a while.

get a container of plain yogurt, mix the two together, and then put back in the containers. Now you have two yogurts that aren't too sweet.

Well, having lived in the midwest my whole life- heck freaking yes I'd open the door. I've never experienced a reason not to, and I've certainly asked a neighbor for sugar before.

But that's just me.


When Do You Open Your Front Door?

@coleyb:
For anything that is pyrex worthy, this is what I do. When I'm making the food initially, I line the pyrex with foil, then dump in the food. After the food has frozen for a good amount of time, you can lift the foil out, wrap it tightly, and put the pyrex back in the cabinet. It helps with freezer burn and also frees up your bakeware. When you go to bake the food again, just plop it back in the dish.
