What Do We Think About "Multi-Cookers"?
Comments (42)Two things, one, I want John to be my dad!! Two, I had a friend who's son got kicked out of his dorm for having a pocket knife. And he didn't even remember that he had it. That was Temple University. They had to kick him out because they had a zero tolerance policy. It was just for one semester. He had to move home and commute. Weird but true. That was about 8 years ago though. Totally cool that some dorms now have communal kitchens! I lived in one for a summer semester but it didn't have a cafeteria. I totally melted the carpet because I was carrying a pan back from the kitchen to my dorm to eat it and I set it down to open the door and didn't realize it was hot enough to melt the carpet! Nice brown circle burned into the carpet by my dorm door! I loved that arrangement back in the day, but yes, college cafeteria food had some a long, long way since then, some places around me are even doing the whole "local" produce thing with college gardens too. Lots of veggie options that I would have never dreamed of. I had to exist on broccoli cheese casserole back when I lived in the dorm. My dorm room cooking consisted of peanut butter and honey on saltines. But I went to the farm market and got fresh ground peanut butter and comb honey! Ramen in the hotpot and tea, what more could a college student ask for!...See MoreHoned Slate Counter & Hot Pans?
Comments (9)drjoann, I seriously considered slate counters from Sheldon Slate. We visited their fabrication/showroom, and saw several counters that were absolutely gorgeous. The owner's son, not a small guy, jumped on a peninsula overhang (which did not have any support), to show us how strong the slate is. DH and I cringed, but the thing did not budge; no damage at all. I brought home a sample book, which contains samples of all the honed colors. For several days I tested the slates, letting sit for 12 hours, olive oil, ketchup, vinegar, mustard, Worchestershire sauce, wine and a few other things. The slates showed no damage, except for the black, which I knew ahead of time would be porous. FYI, New York and New England slate is known to be the least porous of any slate on the market. If you drag a key across it, the slate will scratch somewhat, but a little mineral oil makes it all disappear. I just love the feel of honed slate...smooth like butter, warm to the touch. Though we decided to go with soapstone for the kitchen, we'll probably use slate in two of the bathrooms. Anyhow, here are two articles that might be helpful: http://www.thekitchendesigner.org/journal/2007/6/28/kitchen-countertops-slate-yes-slate.html http://www.servicemagic.com/article.show.Slate-Counters-An-Easy-Going-Granite.14979.html And, a link with excellent pics of slate counters, below.

Comments (12)Great ideas!!! I tend to agree about the protien and calcium. I'll ask what he's taking, if anything. Stephen is a gym rat! He has always been a jock! Played everything growing up and coached too. None of us are tall-growing up it really bothered Stephen. So he compensated buy lifting weights and getting super strong. Proir to the accident Stephen would spend 5-6 days a week in the gym. He even convinced the other co owners to put in a small gym in the restaurant for the employees to use. Hus level of fitness was why the docs say he did so well so far. The restaurant,,,well its a huge part of his life!! He has/had access to whever he wanted to eat...the very best of the best and so food is a huge part of his life. I will link the web site. Stephens main job is with weddings, banquets and catering. Also dinner theater I have a nice picnic basket ready for him. I sliced some berries and peaches. I bought a small tub of heavenly dip at the market. The pasta salad is a recipe I am working on for work....as soom as its finished I will post it-think of everything in a muffalatta sandwich only with pasta. The rice pudding I made was with brown rice. Since I was at the market I picked up a calzone for him. Sausage and peppers, sauce and cheese. I also picked up some organic granola bars and some pretzels so he has something to snack on. Tomorrow I make make some poacked chicken and do as Linda c suggested and make salad. I wonder if he'd like some ensure type drinks?? I'll report back after I get home tonight! Cheers! Susie...See More3 kids sharing 2 rooms with big age gaps
Comments (17)I'm taking a different point of view. I was one of seven children--five boys, two girls. There are very few eight bedroom houses out there. We all shared rooms until the older kids started going off to college. When we were little, I shared a room with my older brothers. Once I got a baby sister--eight years younger--I shared a room with her. True, it was a pain in the neck sometimes, having to go to bed and get undressed in my room without turning the lights on because she went to bed earlier than I did, but it did not scar me for life. My take would be that in a few years, your daughter should get her own room. That could happen when your older son goes off to college, or the two boys could share a room, if there's someplace else for the older boy to do his homework, etc., after the little one goes to bed. But I would also look around the house and see if there was any other space that could be used for your office. Maybe 1/3 of the garage, leaving a two car garage? (I think a one car garage just wouldn't fly today.) Or the dining room, or your bedroom? And talk to your kids and see what they say. My cousin had three kids in five years and for a while they all slept in the same room. When she wanted to move the two girls into their own room, they were upset--they didn't want to leave their baby brother all alone at night. So the parents had to work out a schedule to transition them all to the new sleeping arrangement....See MoreSandplum1
