Erika, some of the harder cheeses will happily last for MONTHS. (or years, really) Which seems crazy at first, but then makes sense when you realize that one of the reasons cheese was invented and...

Probably wouldn't have to worry as much about mildew if you used a mildly soapy mix or something similar. I love the idea of color the bubbles in.

I have a couple of the Ikea cutting boards (just like the one in the above picture) covering up my very ugly countertop. The only drawback is that despite oiling them often, the dratte...

Crazy as it sounds, you can actually take regular old cookie dough and FRY it. Makes these awesome cookie-ish things that are crunchy on the outside and deliciously gooey on the inside. Even bett...

I'm in the ladle-loving crowd. Although I hate my current crappy plastic ladle - I need a nice big metal one like my mom has. The thing I never use is my pastry bag. It's always floa...

It's a lovely, LOVELY house, but I'm afraid I have to agree - the stairs look unsafe for younger children, the elderly, or someone who is ill.

I often throw in celery leaves when I'm making stock and haven't noticed it being bitter. Perhaps that happens if you use too many of them at once? I miss having a garden compost and ...

I've found the fastest way to really boil water is to pour the water in an electric kettle and get it to boiling there, then pour it in the pot. Perhaps it's just that I have a really bad cooktop,...

Snuggies, that infamous as-sold-on-TV product, are the ugliest, tackiest products ever. They're hideous and cheap, and make people look like weird cultists. I bought one as a gag gift...

Gosh, it's beautiful! I love it! (I know it's not a real fireplace, but I grew up in a wood heated home, so I can fiddle around with cute little fire thingies as much as I please, and...

"I swear, AT profiled this exact same product about four months ago." Looking at the search function, they've talked about the same sort of idea before at least twice, but by different...

Looks like part of the rental price is also a dolly, which you're not going to find for free and not many people have someone to easily borrow one from. And a wardrobe box, which I've ...

It's totally just like paneer! I prefer to make my paneer with lemon juice, though. :)

It's such a tiny, tiny "office space" that you'd think you could squeeze it in almost anywhere else. Gotta love the combination of fireplace and giant tub, though. That would be posit...

If you're the organic type, you can make a very, very similar item using bamboo. Only problem is that large bamboo is far harder for more people to get their hands on than PVC pipe. Fortunately a...

I have three malm dressers- one a little rough, the other two going strong for four years now. but there's a trick to it, which is what I learned on the first one and why the other two are in grea...

Oh my gosh, my almost-sister's crocheted doll is on the top of kraftomatic! HA! :D

If I could do it again, I'd just ask for cash or gift cards. All the parents said it would be horrible and rude, and then the very next year another couple in the same community asked ...

Yeah, cornstarch can clump if you throw it in on its own, which is why you usually mix it with a bit of water before throwing in the main dish. It's also the secret ingredient behind m...

I have a friend who actually keeps a mini-chest-freezer out on their covered porch. I am terrifically jealous - I grew up in a household where we relied on frozen food heavily to keep ...
