It seems like a bad idea in places where there are a lot of earthquakes.

to address greymase's question . . . these mattresses (and any memory foam i guess) are not very good for anything besides sleeping. your knees just sink in too much. on the plus side, the frame is really high and the mattress is super thick so it's pretty comfortable if one of you is standing on the floor.

my mom does mini cheesecakes in cupcake liners. a nilla wafer for the crust!

i use mine almost every day for salad, greens like kale and chard, bunches of basil . . . and it can double as a colander in a pinch. i have a big old orange one i got from a thrift store for a buck. it's really loud but works like a charm.

Yes, I think beets are the "old fashioned" way to make red velvet.

strawberries and arugula are perfect together! i make something like this frequently (http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/arugula-salad-with-strawberries). now i'll try adding cheese!

i stopped eating meat about 15 years ago, when i was in college. i had never eaten much of it before, anyway; in my parents' house we ate a lot of tofu and only small quantities of meat. i realized i could never "create" my own meat--that is, i would not be able to kill an animal to eat it, so i didn't feel like i deserved to eat it. and i certainly don't need it.

i do miss and crave bacon, though.

i have a zojirushi hot water pot, but i only keep it out/on in the winter when i drink a lot of tea/chai/cocoa.

i might get around to making it an hour after i get up . . . if i wasn't long gone from the house by then.

i made those biscuits for thanksgiving (using self-rising wondra). everyone asked who made them and then gave me mad compliments. one person said he usually drowns biscuits in gravy because they are too dry. but for these, he didn't want anything contaminating them because they were so good. high praise!
