Plates 

Too many restaurants are using random objects to serve food on and, and as obvious as it may seem, every restaurant should have plates. The butter board trend has come and gone and people want to see their food served on something they know can be run through a dishwasher. Nobody needs a burger and fries served on a cutting board honed from the wood of an olive tree. All that is is an opportunity for half of the fries to slide right onto the table. Once when I was a cater waiter, I served appetizers on a skateboard. Creative, sure. Appetizing? Absolutely not.

Kill grass with cardboard

With this time- and money-saving hack, you can use cardboard from online shopping deliveries as sheet composting to create a new garden bed. To convert a section of lawn into a low-maintenance planting bed, start in the fall by covering a recently mowed patch of grass with cardboard, overlapping the sheets like shingles to block sunlight. Next, lay about 2 inches of compost or grass clippings over the cardboard, followed by an equally thick layer of dry leaves or wood chips.

The Right Barstool

In my opinion, the bar is the best place to sit in a restaurant, but I need a barstool that has something to lean back on. While a backless stool might provide a cleaner aesthetic, what am I supposed to slump up against after my second frozen Margarita? A barstool with no back is an accident waiting to happen while a barstool with a back provides a place to hang a coat in the inexcusable absence of hooks.

Growing season

RAVE to growing season. I can now grow my own lettuce instead of paying $3 a head! Tomatoes will take longer, but by the time they’re ready, they’ll probably cost more than gasoline, currently $5-plus per gallon. Everyone should do all they can to grow what they need to feed their households. The federal government ain’t gonna help any. They’re too busy feeding their egos and not American citizens.

Why Friendships Matter 

I’ve audited my friend group. Editing your friends down to those who understand your worth, and spending time with those who are most aligned with what you want for the next half of your life, is key as we age. We’ve been on this earth long enough to spot a true companion. Our bodies are also changing, so empathetic friends trump wingmen from your 20s. We need friends who know and can love us through transitions—from menopause to losing a parent. Who do you want to grow old with? – Kristina Grish
