I like the odyssey table and have been trying to find something similar only a little larger at around the same price point...any suggestions?

I just finished moving into a new place this past month and discovered the best thing for packing up my house, Redi Boxes (I think there are other companies…green boxes, etc). But seriously, forget the tape and cardboard. I ordered 30 plastic, self-locking boxes. They were delivered to my old residence and the company picked them up at my new place 2 weeks later. So much easier than scavenging for cardboard boxes and taping them up. Not to mention, more environmentally friendly.

Wish I would have read this post 2 weeks ago! I have spent the past 2 weeks painting a new place and I swear half the time has been devoted to taping and un-taping. The result...a lot of peeled edges:( I am now going back over most of my edges with an angled brush. Should have skipped the tape!!!

I used chickpea flower in a recipe for beet gnocchi a few weeks ago. So delicious! I would definitely make it again.

I second Kristen S. Have it kiln dried. You will be happy with the result and it is fairly inexpensive.

It’s got to be my grandmother’s gnocchi. In my family it’s a rite of passage when you are invited into the kitchen to learn how to make gnocchi!

Cool Concept, but I would feel like I had to keep my refrigerator constantly stocked and staged.
