We use Anylist. Love it.

I keep a small dry erase board on my fridge and list all the produce and some other perishables that are inside. It cuts down on me staring at the shelves with the doors open, and less food goes bad because I'm regularly reminded of what I need to use up--salad mix, open package of tofu, half a cucumber, etc.

I use a cherry/olive pitter all the time, and another unitasker I have is a corn stripper. I got really tired of getting corn all over the place and also worried I was going to stab myself slicing the knife down the cob, so it's totally worth it during the summer. Oh, strawberry huller too. I have an old tiny little tweezer type one, which takes no space, and is so worth it. It gets on my nerves when people slice off the top third of the strawberry to get the stem off--so much wasted berry!

i never knew i could get brown basmati! maybe i will give brown rice another try.

very nice! i too would like to know the source for the bedroom rug.

If you want people to remove their shoes, it's also nice to provide a bench or a chair for them to sit down on while they do it.

we've been sleeping on a keetsa for a couple years. we bought one of the tea leaf mattresses. in the store it felt wonderful but at home i found it way too firm, like LiliZ. after a few weeks we ended up buying one of the "comfort layers"--i think the "luxurious" one--and that changed everything. i was instantly in love with the bed, and still am. so our purchase ended up being a lot more expensive, but we sleep better than ever before, so it's been worth it.

i love the boomerang formica. haven't seen a kitchen with it yet, but i hope to have it in my own someday.

i've been tempted by the Titan Peeler. it's almost irresistible when they throw in two for the price of one!

where did "koozie" come from? i thought it was a cozy.
