This looks amazingly delicious! But I'm afraid a little too much work for me. Maybe for a special occasion though. And I laughed at the fiance comment....my husband, too, would eat Chinese takeout over just about anything.

Very charming and inviting! But as a fellow Angeleno, it would make me very uneasy to be underneath that loft bed and especially the suspended glass door on the side...in case of an earthquake. (My daughter had the same Ikea bed, and the center beam gave way on hers too. Though fortunately hers was on the floor.)

Thank you, Peterz and Girlwithacurl, you've convinced me - I guess I will just have to spring for the bay leaves! Though I made a smaller version of this recipe tonight, using a bit of thyme instead of the bay leaves and it was still quite tasty! Gwac - you gave me an idea - wonder if I can find some bay laurel trees around me? I have heard that they grow around here (Los Angeles/ Santa Monica area). D'uh - I never realized that's where bay leaves come from! Though I'd be a bit worried that they were sprayed, or city girl that I am, that I'd mistake some poisonous leaf for them!

Yes, I thought the same thing Ilovekefir - less thyroid hormone would slow things down. Also, oats are carbs, which elicit an insulin response, so I'm not sure how that would keep insulin levels low. Have A Snack, Boost Your Metabolism? Flag this comment	2/4/12 12:01 AM
Is there any substitute for the bay leaves? Or would it be better to just leave them out, if I don't have any? Just came from the store and couldn't bring myself to spend $6 for a tiny package of bay leaves. Recipe to Feed a Crowd: Slow Cooker Barbacoa Beef Flag this comment	2/3/12 5:07 PM
That is amazing! I'm ready to move in. Clearview Dollhouse: Cool, Modern, Miniature \| Apartment Therapy Los Angeles Flag this comment	1/25/10 9:53 PM
I was thinking the same thing, BlueLM. Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Before and After: Revamped Storage Flag this comment	3/7/09 11:56 PM
I don't mean to be picky either, but the "splendid" jarred my ear too. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Hot Posts: 03.01.2009 Los Angeles Flag this comment	3/2/09 1:42 PM
Hmmm...I initially missed the "sponsored post" too. I don't like the idea of ads masquerading as content. And my experiences with Virgin were just ok. The mood lighting really isn't as great as it looks in the pictures, and the seats were just as uncomfortable, if not more so, than other airlines.

I've had similar experiences to Scotty214. The Umbra items I have purchased in the past did not hold up. I would not be inclined to buy their products again, although I like their style overall. But style is not worth much, without function. (just noticed they are an advertiser here) Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Umbra Loft For Target Flag this comment	2/3/09 7:54 PM

I think $.59 is just for the saucer! I was wondering how much the pot was. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| EcoForms Sustainable Planters at Whole Foods Flag this comment	8/4/08 9:28 PM
Felt it here in Marina del Rey too - though no damage. Bridget, I'm sure your relative in Santa Monica must be fine - just spoke to my co-worker in SM and she said they definitely felt it there, but no damage occurred.

I have a large long living room, that I can't seem to figure out how to make into two cozy sitting areas - despite frequent furniture re-arranging. I am also ready to buy some new pieces, but need guidance. I love the rooms you've shown. And I'm easy to work with too. :) Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Thursday Giveaway: Consultation with Designers Call Los Angeles Flag this comment	7/28/08 1:08 PM

Aww, these stories are so sad. When our guinea pigs died, we had no place outside to bury them, so we called L.A. City "animal pick-up" to take them. Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| The Passing of a Pet Flag this comment	6/3/08 5:57 PM
I'm in the marina, so I go to Carson usually. But I have noticed (in person and when checking online) that the Costa Mesa one is much better stocked. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Which Ikea Do You Go To? Flag this comment	5/22/08 7:38 PM
