You will be sick of the furniture, eventually. Getting sick from the takeout is cheaper.
Gus, you tempter!  However, I've now spent a full month sitting on those nasty folding chairs to watch tv while trying to eat dinner off of a coffe table.  Furniture is the hands down winner.
I'm off.  For reals this time.

kat, you let food sit so the tastes can combine. This is especially true of soups. 
So with a lentil soup or a chicken soup then it needs to stew... to simmer in spices and with other veggies to combine the tastes.
	
 
		
		
I do love this. I do. I have been coveting it a long time. It may be too formal, but I'd pair it with a plain black t-shirt and my ballet shoes.

Allyson, that skirt is very pretty. I think it would look great with a plain back shirt and flats.
As to the slinky dress -- yes, you can wear it. Because I have that exact dress in stretch velvet, and it is very good for short-ish curvy girls.

Not girl enough to hang out for the hair and clothes talk.
Surely you must have an all-time favorite jacket to share.
