These tent/houses from Sweet Water Bungalow rock!
- They're hugely attractive
- You can put one just about anywhere
- In comfortable weather it can serve as a guest house, or get-away
- Otherwise it can be used as a yoga retreat, studio or whatever your space needs require.
Can you get over these?
They run about $25 per square foot (not including the platform), the Sonoma Bungalow runs about $4,700.
Their lack of insulation makes this a poor choice for someone looking for a year-round home.

Grilled Pineapple With Brown
This dessert comes together in minutes. The buttery, sweet sauce is brightened by a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and made more "adult" with a splash of dark rum. Make a virgin sauce by leaving out the rum or get down to business by adding another splash or two. Either way, the warm sauce turns the edges of the vanilla ice cream into rivulets that spill over the stacked grilled fruit.
Yield: 4 Servings
Serving Size: 2 pineapple rings plus 1/4 cup sauce (plus any leftover sauce)
Ingredients:
The Sauce:
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 cup half and half
- 3 tablespoons dark rum
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Canola oil, for brushing the grill
- 1 4 pound pineapple, skin removed, cut into 8 (3/4 inch) rounds, core removed
Instructions:
- The sauce: in a large skillet or medium sauce set over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the brown sugar and flour. Cook, whisking constantly, for about 2 minutes to eliminate the taste of the raw flour.
- Pour in the half and half and whisk in rum, fresh lemon juice and vanilla extract. Keep the sauce warm over the low heat until ready to use, whisking occasionally.
- The pineapple: preheat grill to medium-high heat. Brush grill with canola oil. Lay the pineapple on the grill and cook, about 5 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.
- Remove the pineapple from the heat and serve with ice cream and the brown sugar rum sauce.
