    I'm growing a metric fuck-tonne of roma tomatoes this summer. We are eating a lot of bruschetta. Super easy, take the tomatoes, cube them in little pieces, add salt and pepper (not too much salt), chop up a LOT of basil from the garden, use the microplaner and shred a butt-load of Parmesan into...

And if you do realise that, are you so fucking stupid as to continue doing it? Seriously. Go the fuck away from this thread. Honestly, you have a thread for that shit...

    You have to roast your own. Getting a dark roast on the green beans we get makes such a delicious cup o coffee, I'm not sure I could ever go back to buying pre-roasted coffee.

    The Samsung HVAC ductless sort of thing are the way to go if you can swing it. They are not cheap, but you can easily do an 1,100 square foot apartment with a single condenser. You could probably do it for less than a thousand dollars, and then you have true thermostat control and the air...

    Yeah, but do you look at those filthy drive-through menus with bare eyes? That's fucking disgusting, man. Do you know how many other people have looked at those signs? Eye bleach is the only answer here.

    This is so much part of what my wife and I want for our kids. Yeah, we work them hard, but they have their free time and friends and electronics and so forth. When my kids leave home (they all seem university bound with one possible trade school), they are going to know how to cook, do laundry...

    I like the dark stain. With light walls and good lighting (which you seem to have), I think you can get away with it.

    Get a good dust-buster sized vacuum, have her vacuum the cars out and remove trash from the vehicles each week. We started there. There are also tasks that won't actually get you anything, but will give her duties each week - have her wash windows. They's look terrible, but she'll have something...

    Dude, make it 20$ a month instead of a 100$. Do whatever works for you guys. This started with the idea from my kids' classroom. They had a teacher who did a classroom thing with monopoly money. Kids had to pay rent for desks, and they had a whole structure like that. We developed it for at...

    Half the money comes back immediately, half of the remaining goes into savings for college. Yeah, the initial outlay may feel big, it works out to be pretty good for everyone, including us providing the money. We're going to give the kids spending money anyway, and we're going to be saving for...

    Not a fake website, they "pay rent" by sending me a payment from their online banking. It's essentially them writing me a check, but they do it digitally. Then they see me get the payment in the mail, and then I deposit it. It's about them learning to pay bills, and also about them seeing my...

    They all have chores - vacuum cars, mow lawn, etc. They also get the full $100, they have to go online and use bill pay to pay rent and such. Trying to teach budgeting and so forth. Seems to be working. The twins are paying a little each month toward their car insurance now that they are driving...

    My oldest kids were told early that the tooth fairy was fake, and it was just your parents giving you money for teeth. They spoiled all their younger siblings, so the tooth fairy is absolutely not a thing in our house. The kids bring teeth to us and ask for money. Money is a funny thing with...

    Open the fridge, the island is immediately behind you - going to be 4 x 6 feet. That's enough open space near the fridge I think. The stove is going to be not that close to the sink, but I'm going to have a pot-filler faucet at the oven.

    No, actually. Sink is going into a bump-out section with three windows. It's independent of the house, though part of the foundation, so I can vent right out the ceiling, don't have to go through second story. It's right on my deck, you don't think I'll have sewer smell, do you?

    You should really make muffins inside an orange peel in the camp fire. They're awesome for breakfast. Try it - make a bunch extra so you can take one out and see if it is done, and if it's not, give yourself three more tries. They're so delicious. Campfire Cooking – Our Favorite Campfire Desserts

Three are on the same track team, and they are all pretty equal in their athletic ability, and so family soccer is a riot. My youngest is the...
