@devo13: We don't get 'Nilla Wafers in Canada. But we get Smarties!

More beets. More non-Indian/Moroccan style vegan recipes.

It's all downhill for The Kitchn, now that they're pimping processed food. I come here to get recipes so I can get away from that.

1. I look at what's on sale that week and try to plan a menu accordingly.

2. Veggies & dip/fresh fruit to pick at (keeping rule #1 in mind).

3. Costco. Costco. Costco. (Small bag of spinach at the grocery store: $3.00. Giant bag of spinach at Costco: $3.50. One brick of tofu at the grocery store: $1.49. Three bricks of tofu at Costco (same brand): $1.79. One container of hummus at the grocery store: $5.25. Two containers of hummus at Costco (same brand): $7.00. One tiny wheel of brie at the grocery store: $5.00. One giant wheel of brie at Costco: $9.00-- see where I'm going with this?)

4. I cooked. They bring the wine.

The bed covering the window makes me crazy. I would have gone either bigger headboard (and hidden it entirely) or no head board or would have rotated the whole furniture placement 180 degrees (unless that's a built-in TV and not artwork. With the glare on the glass, I can't quite tell).

James Marsters could read me the phone book. :)

I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the $2000 cat box. WTF?

What? You're supposed to only do the crazy stuff when you're alone?

In my house we all;

- Totally pee with the bathroom door open (in the winter, the house shifts in such a way that the bathroom door barely closes at all and spontaneously swings open when it does, anyway.)

- Talk to the cats.

- Eat over the sink/drinking from the carton/stealing a spoonful of PB.

- My own private empty-house habits include full-on skanking (the dance associated with ska music, not what you actually think it means) random dance routines in the living room, dancing with the vacuum, singing at the top of my lungs, and though I don't have to be alone for this-- spending an entire weekend in my pyjamas, if not going out.

Dear lord, we're a house full of cavepeople.

Even with CF or LED bulbs, this still screams
"DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!" to me.

One should not be messing around with paper and an electrical source in close quarters.

The angles could have been shot better or at least in the same orientation (portrait/landscape).

Though I love the look/feel of both rooms, I'm wondering whether this warrants a before/after feature on AT. Everything is essentially the same as before. (save for paint colour/slipcovers/art (which is still more or less in the same arrangement). It's such a subtle change that I personally don't notice a huge 'atmosphere' change-- though that might be because I'm looking at photos.
