I have a 40's era Tappan gas stove that came with my house. I love the look of it and I love the gas burners. I'm not a serious cook though so the fact that the oven is smaller and nowhere near a...
Drink a lot of water to moisturize from within.
I love the Vitamin E and Tea Tree Oil lotion (Derma-E brand, available on amazon). It is antiseptic and antibacterial which makes it gr...
I like pickled radishes in my leftover brine. Also try pickle juice (dill obviously) in place of olive juice in a gin martini. I'm normally a martini purist but its pretty good actually.
My gas and electric company will do an energy audit for $15 (including things like checking out the insulation in your attic) and will give you credits on your bill for installing a programmable th...
I loved the radiant heat when I lived in Korea although my dorm room at university had regular radiator heat which was noisy and overly hot. My friends' apartments and hotels with radiant heat wer...
I love substituting "craisins" (dried cranberries) or going half-and-half with raisins in most of the above suggestions.
As a kid in scouts, we ate huge amounts of "GORP" trail mix AKA...
I think most of the flash frozen, no sodium added vegetables are good for cooked recipes; obviously frozen veggies can't substitute for the fresh ones in salads, with dip, as sandwich toppings etc....
I'm a regular runner of moderate distances (4 miles daily, 8 miles weekends) on asphalt rather than concrete. My worry for barefoot running would not be the cushioning (or lack thereof) from a sho...
As a kid I loved broccoli with honey on it. Sweet yes, but honey has some good to it and a little bit got me eating a lot of broccoli.

Pineapple is enough of an irritant to my tongue eating it normally that th...
Having once had my boss bring a coffeemaker to work because it would (I quote) "make me nicer", I think coffee is non-negotiable for me.
That said, everything is a trade-off. I've be...
I'm for limited government intrusion into private choice in relation to mandates. I'm all for education, promotion, and marketing of green choices, healthy choices etc but individuals should have ...
Most peoples' kids make more mess of their furniture than their housetrained pets.
The way I see it is if you have pets then you are already planning around them to a large degree- h...
I would change the backsplash before I touched the cabinets. Painting cabinets is more work (and money) than painting a room and they really need to be sprayed to get a nice coat and of course the...
I bought the cheap regular beige plates and a can of plastic/metal spray paint in a color to match my walls (in this case, black) and spray painted all the plates so they blend seamlessly into the ...
Ask a cop what else gets "cooked" in a hotel room coffee maker and you'll never use one again. Hint- starts with crystal and ends with meth.
Creative though.
Real linoleum here and I'm happy with it. I was going to tile for a color change and going "upscale", but then I got to like the easy to clean (no seams or grout lines) aspect and learned to like ...
