I live simply by not having a computer in my 800 sq ft home. I do have a tv because every once in awhile I want to watch a movie or check the weather to make sure a tornado isn't about to hit. My flat screen doesn't seem to take up all that much space.

halving:) as in 1 tbsp of soy sauce vs 2, and perhaps adding a bit more fish sauce.

I like some brick painted and some unpainted. Not all brick walls are beautiful reds. Some are just plain ugly (mixed browns I'm looking at you).

I had a 2011 Domaine du Vieux Chene "cuvee des capucins" Rose and it was delicious! I highly recommend it.

It's been 6 years and my ex and I still share our 2 dogs. We got both when we were dating. Now one pup lives with me and one lives with the ex. Whenever one of us goes out of town, the other keeps both pets. The dogs are best buds so this way they get to see each other multiple times a year. I'm sure it's odd to our partners, but we are still friends and it's good for the dogs.

I love arugula salads. I eat one almost every day. Arugula with a squeeze of lemon, a teensy bit of olive oil, and some fresh grated parm.

Tomatoes, Avocados, and Cauliflower. I hated them all. I grew up refusing to eat ANYTHING with tomatoes in it. Avocado and Cauliflower were easier to hide from since my parents didn't serve those often. I'm not sure why my tastes have changed, though I know that I love cauliflower now because I prepare it properly, unlike my parents and schools who would steam it. Tomatoes have just started to grow on me, though I still can't eat them plain or cubed in salads. I distinctly remember when I started liking avocados. I would be at Mexican restaurants with friends when they ordered guacamole and I would try a bite every time even though I didn't particularly like it. One day I started craving them. Now I eat at least a couple each week, mostly with eggs.

A lot of people I know prefer the jambox: https://jawbone.com/speakers/jambox/overview

In the past I've lived without a washer and dryer as well as a dishwasher. I have to say that I would much rather have a washer and dryer than a dishwasher. I like washing my bedding frequently and I found that when I had to go to the laundromat to wash I wouldn't wash stuff near as much. Different strokes for different folks I guess:)

I am a terrible gardener, but one thing I always grow is basil. Its pretty easy. Just make sure to clip leaves often don't just let them accumulate. Clipping makes them bushier.
