I am pretty sure that hand washing dishes actually uses more water, but I can't cite it - just something I've heard. My Life Without a Dishwasher Renters Solutions Flag this comment	3/25/13 1:34 PM
Can anyone explain what it is that is making all my garlic sprout? I've started keeping them by themselves in a little corner but I'd rather know what's going on. Quick Reminder: Why You Should Store Some Fruits and Vegetables Separately Flag this comment	1/25/13 12:52 PM
Oh my gosh that was my original question!! I'm so excited about this! I ended up buying one of the ones recommended in the other thread, but I'll probably download this one too and use it at work :) This is so beautiful.

Also helpful because fresh garlic will burn more quickly than other vegetables when roasting. Although dried garlic flakes also work in that situation. Garlic Powder: Yay or Nay? \| Apartment Therapy The Kitchn Flag this comment	12/11/09 9:38 AM
I have a spinach smoothie (spinach, fat free greek yogurt, blueberries, a banana, and ground flaxseed), plus something high in protein (like fortified cereal & milk) every single morning.

I also recommend some fresh or dried herbs tossed in to the mix... whatever you have on hand!! Adds a little something special. Also, I know the beauty of roasted veggies is their simplicity so I hate to add another ingredient in to the mix, but a splash of balsamic vinegar before you toss with olive oil does something pretty magical, especially to heartier root vegetables.

oh, and #6 would be much nicer with a white tablecloth, in my opinion. that beigey yellow is atrocious paired with those bright fiesta colors. Thankgiving Tables from Flickr \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	11/10/09 10:20 AM
#5 is so beautiful! you can barely see the table so i'm not sure how helpful it is, but it's such a pretty shot. i love the color of the wood, the rustic bowl and the pretty dried flowers. Thankgiving Tables from Flickr \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	11/10/09 10:19 AM
Totally nailed it...! EARTHY CASUAL You're interested in creating a welcoming home where people feel comfortable and happiness flourishes. You appreciate the warmth and individuality of natural materials and handcrafted things and are inspired by colors and forms from nature. You love mixing up different textures and are sensitive to the tactile qualities of objects. Your style is grounded and solid, not flighty or frilly. And you are never taken in by the trend of the moment. You value serenity. While there are probably a lot of interesting things in your home, they are joined by your taste or a certain palette that keeps them in harmony. You appreciate the beauty in simple forms. Whether fancy or plain, you appreciate things that are well made and function as well as they look. You also have a strong respect for the environment and craftsmanship. You care about how things are made, and how they are used. Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| Need Help Defining Your Personal Style? HomeGoods StyleScope Quiz Flag this comment	11/6/09 9:18 PM
I think if you want to be subtle, I 1000th grey. But if you want to be BRAVE, I would go for a deep navy blue. The colors you've chosen for your furniture remind me of dawn in the middle of winter (beautiful!!)... so with that in mind, grey would be snow and ice. But the navy blue would be like the color of the sky in the west at sunrise. Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| What Color Would You Paint This Room? Good Questions Flag this comment	11/6/09 11:54 AM

Organic milk! Whether you're an organic foodie or not, I swear organic milk lasts like 100x longer. I never throw out milk anymore, and I used to dump it constantly. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Flying Solo: The Simplicity of Living Single Flag this comment	11/2/09 10:37 AM

Oh and I want to add to my comment above... Pull the light blue in somewhere else in the bathroom, somewhere small and subtle. Otherwise the color looks like an accident. Apartment Therapy New York \| Update Our Bathroom Around This Corner Tub? Good Questions Flag this comment	10/2/09 10:10 AM
I think you could go two routes to tone down the blue, depending on your household colors. Either varying shades of grey, or varying shades of khaki/brown. The light blue could look nice with either of those. I, personally, would avoid any other colors, but I'm a sucker for neutrals.
