I don't drink alcohol at all (by simple choice, no religious, political, health or other reasons behind it). I avoid sodas, juices and any other drink with sugar or sugar substitutes and I can't st...

Maple syrup and raisins are still very high in sugar content! Type 2 diabetes patients must stay off ALL sugar, preferably even cut down on "slow" sugar as in carbohydrates. I suggest switching ov...

My mum uses a damp sponge for picking up the dog and cat hair off our furniture. It's better than anything else, really. Great way to use up those sponges that are too old and worn out to do any go...

I'm with foodefafa here, I would probably make lemon cake of some sort. With peel zest in it. Yes. The name of the pan, "DRÖMMAR" (yes, with those pesky dots, it's not a regular "...

All morels contain a certain amount of poison and should always be boiled (my mother taught me 2x5 mins in 3:1 water (water thrown away afterwards)) or dried completely then soaked (water thrown aw...

Well, I lived without oven OR microwave oven for 3 years - so it's doable for sure. I make a killer stove top chocolate cake too ;D You learn a lot during college years - not all of it is included...

I do what my mum always did: Smear the whole oven interior with soft soap (the real, natural kind. I can't name a brand, sorry I'm not from the US *lol* It's made from natural oils (e.g. hemp or pi...

Dryer sheets? They don't even sell those here. Never heard of in my life. Sounds like a silly and unnecessary product. Reusable lavender pouches sounds nicer, but still, I fail to see the point. I'...

It would have been exquisite if he actually could spell... But I still enjoy the eloquence ;D

Cute! But they should really be stored in a cupboard, because a lot of spices and herbs fare badly in (sun)light. Or you can paint the jars, or use découpage! ;D

The only one I would consider making is the Coconut and Lime recipe, and the chick peas. All the others fail in one huge department: SUGAR. Do you have any "on-the-go" foods without a vast content...

Personally I laughed out loud (I lol'ed! ;D) when I saw this type of product for the first time on my trip to the US this summer. It seems like completely unnecessary. There is also no...

Over here in Sweden, they've charged for bags, plastic or paper, for as long as I remember. I don't see what the fuss is. If it's "too expensive", then just 1) use the plastic bags you already hav...

Personally, admittedly spoilt by having grown up two steps away from a forest littered with these golden goodies, I think the best way to eat chanterelles is fried, spiced with black pepper on a pi...

Personally I'm a fan of the LCHF eating scheme. Cut down on carbs but eat lots of fat (yes, fat. F-A-T. All types) and also protein and above-ground vegetables. Avoiding anything "diet" or "light",...

I use neither. Don't like hand driers/vents because of the germ aspect. They're notorious for getting your hands dirtier, not cleaner. I usually just let my hands air dry.

Personally I consider calorie counting to be so far OUT it's in the next galaxy by now... I'm a recently converted fan of the "low carb high fat" concept. Fat and proteins, little car...

Hehe, the Mythbusters disproved that old housewife's trick a couple of seasons ago ;D

My grandmother has had a set of these for as long as I can remember (in case anyone thought they were a new invention). We always used them for hot cocoa with whipped cream. ;D

Just a cautionary note: If you're going to use dry ice for drinks, put a large chunk in the punch bowl (or whatever you're using), making it "smoke" in that creepy witchy way. DON'T put ...
