Tales of Strange Bathrooms: The One We Shared in the Hall

When I graduated from college, I knew that I wanted to live alone. It wasn’t the wisest financial decision — I had accepted one of those resume-building editorial assistant jobs that pay a borderline living wage — but after living with roommates for four years, I had had it with other people.

FINALLY Organize Your Spices & Make Your Own Magnetic Spice Rack

The paradox of learning how to cook is that the more competent you become, the less competent you feel, because you end up with a jumble of spices cluttering up your kitchen cabinets.
