I've found that the key for good tasting brown rice is using some salt and mixing it with wild rice. I have a rice cooker, so this may not work for you, but I use 1/4 cup wild rice to 3/4 cup brown...

Well, not to knock the product, but this idea has been around for a while. For cats, you can use giant marbles (big enough that they won't eat them), and for dogs you can use clean rocks, or like p...

Substituting Stevia for sugar... there's certain things, like making ice cream, where I worry that using stevia won't act the same way as sugar and will ruin the final product. Does using stevia re...

I love raw honey, but keep in mind that microwaving raw honey undoes all the health benefits of eating raw in the first place! That's straight from the bee keeper I get my honey from. ...

Splenda... yuck. If you must have a sweet try Stevia. It's a lot easier to cook with and the aftertaste is not nearly as bothersome.

I was going to suggest either rubber glue and brush it over in a couple of layers, or an air mattress patch, but the bicycle patch might work better.

Um, call me crazy, but I'd think it'd be way easier to cut these out if they were chilled. Frozen marshmallows (which I've had in the store bought variety) hold up just fine. And it'd make it much ...

I've been doing a lot of painting with the Safecoat paints over the past week, and it's been working just fine. I had to do two coats (I suspect I should have used a primer) but the coverage is gre...

I've been doing a lot of looking at low and non-voc paints, and in general, what I have seen is a not very wide color range. The Safecoat paints though, seem to buck this trend, so I'll be using th...

I have one of these and love it. It's great for baking or toasting everything from chicken to toast to desserts. I use mine to make garlic bread regularly, and it's wonderful. Even better, I...

This paint will actually be available in Missoula, MT on the 23rd... I know this because I'm currently looking at paints and they told me at my local store.

Honeycrisp, Gala, and Spartans.

I have a friend who grew up in Yakima (apple producing area in WA), and she said the old variety, the ugly variety, of Red Delicious was actually quite tasty, but no one grows them anymore precisel...

I second, or third, or fourth (whichever it is) the call for recipes that team up with each other to use up all of the ingredients. I also love the "explain in layperson's terms" request, and print...

Er.... one time I exploded a spaghetti squash in my oven, and I was working that night so didn't clean it up right away. The dang stuff dried all over the inside and was impossible to get off. So.....

Cheryl K... I don't think tomatoes are good for cats. At least that's what my vet tells me. A google search turns up a wide range of reactions from cats, cooked tomatoes might be okay, but i...

I don't have the equipment to make ice cream, but I've come up with a few recipes I'd like to try when I do get the ice cream maker I want! (I've got my eye on the Williams-Sonoma maker.)

I've got three cats, and they all like something different. Toulouse adores yogurt... don't even try opening a container in the house without him knowing... and crackers. Like Green Me's cat...

*laugh * Goosebucket, I call it "happy meat" too. I've tried to cut down my consumption of meat to about once or twice a week both for ethical and cost reasons. It does bother me to t...

Alton Brown did a show on this very problem. He wrapped his corn in plastic and stored it in the coldest part of the fridge, and also another method where he soaked the corn with a little bit of bl...
