So I have no idea why the hell furniture is so fucking expensive. I mean, sure. If it's nice, old school, solid walnut, or cherry, if it's a solid mahogany sideboard with checkered inlay, yeah. I can see how that could be pricey. But the stuff I'm looking at is all particle board with cheap veneer! They have more glue than wood in them, for God's ( Read more... )

I normally dislike using this forum as a venting place, but I'm kinda pissed right now. About a week ago I found a knife set with block on sale. Which was great. Lauren and I will be moving into the Lawrence apartment come September, but it's unfurnished. So I've been shopping for tables, chairs, bowls, plates, flatware, etc. And it had seemed like ( Read more... )

This just pisses me off. This whole ID argument has gotten WAY out of hand. It's not a "thinly veiled" sectarian religious argument, it is a sectarian relgious argument.

Because I will hopefully be preparing an entire host of indian dishes for an upcoming dinner and would like for this to be one of them. I think every other dish I'm making is pretty much ( Read more... )

Okay, so here's my dilemma. I'm still at work, it's around 6 p.m. and I won't be able to leave until probably close to 7. Ordinarily this isn't a problem. The problem is that I was going to be making strawberry soup for dessert tonight which takes about two and a half hours. And no, it's not actually a soup, it's more of a gourmet slushy, but still ( Read more... )
