These are a few of my favorite things... in my home.
Comments (3)We just hid our microwave in a tall cabinet. You can't see it & yet it's easily accessible. Just make a hole in the back for the cord. And it's not built in so if it breaks we can just replace it. LOVE IT TOO!...See MoreLet's play My Favorite Thing's!!!!
Comments (53)Stinky-gardener mentioned the Sanyo 3-cup rice cooker as one of her favorite things. Same here, I use mine every week, it's such a time saver. I love the small size, used to have a 10 cup Zojirushi which made no sense when all I ever cooked was a couple cups of rice at a time. You will eat more rice if you own one of these handy little counter appliances. Another vote for Netflix, especially streaming. I also love the DVR, it remembers everything I want to record so I don't have to think about it. cooper, if you're reading this have you tried using baking soad instead of barkeeper's friend? It works the same and is much cheaper. I fill a cheap salt shaker (needs to have large holes) with baking soda I buy by the pound at Walmart and leave it out with the dish soap. One of my new favorite things is 100% Argan Oil. Not the stuff Adienne sells on HSN but the pure form that comes in a bottle. It goes on like a serum and disappears into your skin after a couple minutes, after that you can put on face cream if you need it....See More'My Favorite Things' by Julie Andrews - I can relate!
Comments (3)THE SOUND OF MUSIC is my favorite musical! Love Julie Andrews--I wish the video was available for viewing. My lovely friend, Becky, reminds me of both Maria VonTrapp and Mary Poppins. Just rec'd these in an email this AM: Truths for Mature Humans I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. There is great need for a sarcasm font. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? Was learning cursive really necessary? Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired. Bad decisions make good stories. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call. I think the freezer deserves a light as well. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said? I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters! Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey--but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!...See MoreOne of my favorite things in my new kitchen...only cost 23 cents!
Comments (33)Kate--Honestly, the sealer on my marble is doing a great job. No stains! We have polished on the perimeter cabs and honed on the island. There are a couple of tiny pitted parts on the island that, to my hyper-critical eye--seem to be a bit discolored, but everywhere else the sealer is kicking ass! SJMitch--The sink is a custom job in Belvedere soapstone from M. Teixeira. This is the second sink I had made by them (we had a 40" Cobra in our last kitchen) and, as I've posted elsewhere, am really happy with their work. The sink is counter depth--meaning 25" from apron to wall-- and 9 & 3/4" deep (exterior measurement). One 40" bowl and one 20" bowl. LOVE it! Makes cleaning up for a slob like me much better. Just pile all those dirty pots and pans and rags in the big bowl and I still have the small bowl free for...more cooking! Belvedere was not my first choice in stone (would have love something light like Python) but it is the hardest *and* the cheapest. I think it looks great with the carrara counters and white tile with gray grout. While some people are like, "Whoa, girl. What you doing with such a big sink?" I personally think bigger the better. but like I said, I am a slob. Here is a link that might be useful: close ups of sink on delivery day...See MoreFun2BHere
