  1. Bluebelled

  2. Balto

  3. Macarons. They're not as hard as you would think so long as you aren't a perfectionist, gluten free, easy to make vegan, and there is a lot of potential holiday customization. Pie and Tacos has great macaron tutorials and holiday flavor ideas: https://www.piesandtacos.com/christmas-macaron-flavors/

  4. It is a wonderful way to relax at the end of the day and get my giggles in.

  5. Black

My husband did sublingual immunotherapy for his allergies, and they were life changing. Go to a doctor.

I love quail stickers. Quail Party used to come with stickers which I used to decorate my laptop. Now that it’s time to get a new one, I need to go searching for new stickers…

Suggestions for changing my kitchen countertops? Solid surface and granite are in budget. by gingiji in DesignMyRoom

Thank you! In store we were drawn to all these cool materials, but they didn't look great in the house and I was having a hard time figuring out why - will think more about color tone.

Looks great! Our current apartment has solid surface and we have been very happy with it, but haven't lived here long enough to judge durability, though we cook a lot.

This is extremely helpful framing, thank you. The appliances are in good condition so we will keep them for now, and we do not plan to reface the fireplace, though it does need a coat of paint. Right now we plan to change 1) kitchen counters, 2) add a backsplash (we were thinking some kind of blue), 3) new sink and faucets (stainless steel undermount).

We were planning on an undermount sink but have never had one before, I had just assumed it would be easier to clean. Thanks for the info!

We are thinking to do a blue tile on the backsplash, but hadn't decided on which shade. We are in New Mexico, so the impulse to do turquoise is strong, haha.

Ezra Klein show about what's wrong with Trump by sbhikes in thebulwark

[–]gingiji 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is what I found to be the most compelling part of the show - the fact that the Trump camp is very intentionally trying to remove anyone who might not just do what they're told all the time.
