Agreed on all points -- it's a landlord /311 issue. That said, I had some pesky mold/mildew on the walls in my bathroom and was constantly cleaning it with bleach. I found a product at Home Depot c...

Do. Want.

I'll be playing "The Chipmunk Song" by Alvin & The Chipmunks. Santa, please bring me the red one.

Is 1/2 tsp of cayenne right? Paprika, ok. But that feels like a lot of cayenne.

This year I'm looking to get my air conditioner stored/cleaned for the winter. Does anyone have any recs about who to use? Any pro/con about Amsterdam Air Cooling (amsterdamac.com), specifically?...

Much love for Ithaca! The orange is right on to help break up the long, dark, cold, depressing winters.

I love that kitty has a little shelf there for his books in case he needs to do some reading while doing his business...

Butter and curry powder.

1. I have a little box of nice toiletry things that I leave out in the bathroom in case our guests forgot something. Toothpaste, toothbrushes, nice lotions, facial soap, etc. 2. I have an unc...

I mean, if they can do an episode where Rory eats an apple through a fence -- eh, I'll watch her new show. But, I'd rather have another Ina-light with Amy, than a Rachael/Rory retchfest.

I can't say enough good things about Heidi Swanson's Super Natural Cooking. It's one of the best cookbooks I've bought in recent years.

Maxwell can you cite this: "that bedbugs in NYC are not only on the rise, but they are increasing at such a rate that they are expected to penetrate a majority of the metro area over the next five...

There is only one solution -- do it up with a mechanized disco ball. With that thing turning it will catch the sun, bounce off the mirrors and your cats will be leaping around all day trying to ch...

I made the Dal recipe from this month's Saveur - perfect and delicious.

Yes, green. An outdoorsy dark green. I had one.

Mid-C -- duh, pass the brownies! (I'm giving the love - not being sassy, btw.)
