I like rustic cake presentation but that one looks kind of sad. It isn't the frosting, which is fine, but the sad looking cake which has lost half of its delicous crusty bits. How are ...

Is anyone else sick of diapers.com spam everywhere in the universe? Seriously. Every blog post / craigslist post in the universe has someone shilling for their products. I get that they give you a ...

I think this is a step in the right direction. Corn is a wasteful and petroleum-hogging crop that most Americans subsidize because agribusiness has more power in Washington than you or I. Corn isn'...

Note that there are many coupons floating around right now for a $30/off a $70 6 pack of covers. Much cheaper than fancy cloth AIOs or pockets.

We love gidiapers. We recently switched from 7th Generation and use the flushables for our toddler. They contain pee well and the liner almost always (once in 15 days) contains the poop. What does ...

DS just turned 2. His (and our) top five favorites from the last year, most of which are non-Chinese, non-toxic and high quality: Haba Jumbo Pegboard

I like them stuffed with ricotta, garlic, anchovy, and mint and fried in a light tempura batter!

Bleck. I like real cheese.

We give gift cards, per my mom, the teacher. Bookstores, local restaurants, Target, and amazon, etc.

A nice soft omlette with gruyere and creamed spinach or mushrooms sauteed with pancetta. Serve with some spicy greens.

We have it really good. The almost-best year round farmer's market is close by on a Sunday market. We fill in at the Whole Foods (walking distance) and at the Trader Joes (longer walking distance b...

Terrific choices. I love this so much more than something that looks matchy-matchy.

Ooooohhh. I might have to try this for father's day. We are lucky to have access to terrific raw cream locally.

I don't understand packaged orange juice. It tastes *nothing* like fresh squeezed I don't care what brand you buy. NOTHING. I do enjoy the treat of freesh squeezed now if I am out for...
