I've been using commercial plastic wrap ever since I discovered this wonderful stuff while working in a restaurant over 20 years ago. Several years ago I bought a roll of plastic wrap from the supe...

My question is: Why do most of my purple kohlrabi plants refuse to form bulbs? I've searched and asked all over about this and can't find an answer - and I can't live without kohlrabi! : )

After years of doing everything from spritzing the oven light bulb and shattering it to ruining a couple of good pans when pouring in the water to even buying a lawn sprayer thingie expecially to m...

And to think that for all these years I've just been spreading the sheep poo from the barn in my kitchen garden. What a waste - oh, ouch. ; )

I'm in love with that milk jug! Or would that be lust? ; ) That color!

Thanks, Faith, for urging people to bake their own bread! There's really nothing that compares to homemade bread (both the taste and the satisfaction), and with the skyrocketing prices of flour and...

Your bread is beautiful! I've never made a sourdough loaf in a pan - and am now of course wondering why not! I can't wait to try the recipe. Christina, I absolutely love my Chica...

Fascinating. Thanks for the lesson! : )

I love the 'tip point down' tip. Thanks!

Oh Faith, I just love the sound of this dish. Thank you for the recipe! It looks wonderful and (miracle of miracles) I actually have everything on hand to make it. Oh wait. No rotini. Okay, no prob...

These sound delicious and dangerous. Can't wait to try them!

I forgot to mention that I love the idea of the magnetic whiteboard. Thanks for the great tip!

These sound delicious. I'm always looking for new ways to cook our homegrown lamb, and this recipe includes all my favorite flavors. I've never used foil packets, but you definitely have me intrigu...

This sounds wonderful. I'm thinking it might be really good on pork, too. Of course I usually just end up putting most homemade sauces and condiments on a spoon! ; )

Hi Britt, Three cheers to you for bringing your own bags when shopping! Another eco-friendly (and free) option for trash liners would be to check around and see if you aren't tossing out othe...

Your egg salad looks delish, and I love the idea of using the potato masher. Thanks for the great tip!

YUM. I just recently discovered the joys of fresh breadcrumbs. I know, I have no idea where I've been all this time. I used some on a complicated but ultimately disappointing cauliflower gratin I m...

Oh. Oh. OH. I haven't eaten dinner yet! And the only component of this sandwich I have on hand is some arugula in the greenhouse, which my annoying farm cat Sylvester is probably curled up o...

I'm so excited to see you've fallen for kohlrabi! I'm laughing because I was getting ready to tell you that the only way to eat it is pureed - but then saw you'd already found my recipe. Tha...
