Different Whites in the Bathroom?

Davidissimo — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 19:04:46 -0800

I want to buy a sink for my bathroom. The sink I want is an American Standard. The toilet I already bought is a Kohler. Both are listed as white, but I can't tell if the whites match. Any one know a good resource for checking this out? I could go to the Depot, but they don't have exactly the sink I'm looking for, so I will probably have to do a internet faith order.

Egg white cost question?

Why do 100% egg whites cost 2x more than 99%? I like egg whites, they're good for a number of things. I just wonder... why do they charge so much more for the 1% extra? You'd think that by not having to add all the stabilizers and stuff, they'd save on the cost. It doesn't make sense.

Egg White Recipes, please.

I'm looking for recipes that make use of lots of egg whites. I know meringue, but what else? I recently got an ice cream maker, and have been playing with it a lot (at least 1 batch of ice cream each week). I love custardy, french style ice creams, so I regularly use 8-12 egg yolks in a batch. Looking for any ideas to make use of the egg whites I have left over. Nothing against meringue (and floating islands, meringue cookies, etc.), but it's kind of a pain to make and not something I want to eat every week. Also, I don't really like egg whites cooked like regular eggs (in omelets, etc.). What other options are there? It seems like such a waste to just throw them out.

Is white alright?

I want to paint my room white...but everyone thinks white is too harsh.... My walls are a dark blue at the moment, and the room always feels dark, and because its south-facing it soaks up the sun in the summer and the room stays hot for ages (too hot to sleep in).

So what white do I want? if not Pure/Brilliant White, what about "Milk White", and all the other variants? (general scheme of my room at the moment - dark blue walls, white ceiling, blue carpet, wood (beech) and brushed metal furniture, halogen lights on wires)

Also, my walls are plasterboard, and not exactly smooth in places. Whats the best way to remedy this?

Brilliantly, my mum wants to decorate my room while I'm away (in Japan heeee heeeee) for 2 weeks. I have 17 days to decide!
