I get SO MUCH JUNK MAIL, Kathryn. And while I do all paperless billing and have written to every "take me off your mailing list" contact I can find, I still get gobs of junk mail every day. Not to ...

"Secret history" jumped out at me too. The history of this print is well known--even Apartment Therapy has written about it in the past.

San Diego has mixed recycling too--very easy. The frames seem ingenious at first glance, until I remember that I can just stick my paper bag into an inexpensive plastic bin that will be sturdier an...

I tear off the bottom and eat it first, then I eat the frosting-y top. Yum.

I agree with hot water and a large cloth.

I agree that this room doesn't have the leftover 70s (or even late 60s) look of an 80s room that simply isn't following trends. The ottoman looks pretty 80s to me, and the floor itself, but that's ...

I work from home and my husband is a student, so we have quite a bit of time together. It's been much nicer since we put together our second bedroom as an office. We both use it, but mostly at diff...

I think it's kind of gross--which is weird because I don't mind bald dudes at all.

Ugh, maybe one of the tips here work for some people, but my attempts with my (beloved) immersion blender have resulted in disgusting, gluey "mashed potatoes." It works awesome on sweet potato mash...

I am shocked that people are so negative towards fund raising. 40 cents on the dollar? Are you suggesting it costs 60 cents to bake a single cupcake or cookie? I assure you that is not the case. Ho...

I love TJ's, though I don't shop there as often since I moved into my latest place in San Diego--it's not far in miles, but too far in lights and frustration usually. Still, I'm a big fan.

Whoops! Hard enough *time*

Shantell, Haiti is a small island with only a single, badly-damaged airport in Port-au-Prince. They are having a hard enough coordinating the essential medical and constructoin relief as nations ar...

On topic: I have wanted to try this soufflé ever since I first glimpsed the cover of Judith Jones' book. It looks/sounds doable and delicious.

Do you have any suggestions, Shantell? Money is the most needed right now. I recommend donating through the Red Cross: http://www.redcross.org/;

Okay, I love this. I have spent so much time scrutinizing labels trying to determine the most humane, best-fed and raised beef, only to give up buying beef all together because I didn't know quite ...

majeral512, you can only train in so much. I was the only one of my friends growing up who had regular chores--I even did the family's laundry as a teenager--and I'm the sloppiest of us all. I have...
