Brown sugar should be kept in an air-tight container in the freezer. If you pull it out as you're starting to bake, by the time you need to measure out brown sugar it'll be thawed and fresh. It's s...

There are lots of things I want. But what I really need are storage containers. However, my husband thinks they're pointless since I can put things directly on the shelves, and each container would...

While Ms. Pea and thebradseed have a point, they didn't present it very nicely. I think people are reacting to their tone more than to their message. As for me, the thing I have the ha...

Washing a sink full of dishes takes more than 15 minutes for me! But I have a bad habit of letting it really pile up. :/

This is a fantastic idea, but that child has more stuffed animals than necessary. I was a HUGE lover of stuffed animals as a kid, and at my peak I probably had half the number of these... and at le...

I love ochazuke! I like to add bits of salmon in mine.

I had no idea what I needed when I registered, so I listed things I didn't need, and too many of them. 12 place settings? A 14-cup food processor? Hahahaha! Now I know better.

...or you can avoid all that hassle and just do it on your stove. So long as it's gas, not electric.

Dress them head to toe in white, use a wide black belt to tie a colored pillow to their back, and they're sushi! Or make a cone hat in a bright color, find a top and pants to match, an...

Yes, nagashi men is normal in Japan. I wouldn't say it's common, but they have restaurants set up with real bamboo and run noodles with water down them, and you have to catch what you eat. I'm not ...

While PB&J sounds ideal, as someone mentioned above, peanut butter smells. And there are enough people walking around with peanut allergies that that's probably a bad idea. My MIL is allergic to co...

A cup is also about 245 ml (240-250, depending on who you ask).

Oven mitts? You do send them through the wash periodically, don't you? I use Shout on the oily parts and my mitts always come out clean.

I only have about 10 cookbooks (I think, I'm not at home so I can't go count) but I have a lot of clippings! I also have a folder on my computer that I save recipes from online into, and that has A...

Looks like a prison to me. I'd want more warmth/texture/color. But I like the idea of a tiny space on top being your entry, with the rest of the house being underground (though I'd mis...

I just made myself a chore list this past weekend! Three or four simple chores a day, and no chores on Sunday (to rest... or play "catch up"). If I stick to it, my house will always be clean and ti...

@CynHendrix Perhaps if you give them away to others in need (either people you know or through a donation program) it wouldn't make you feel so guilty? Then you know someone, like you ...

Hey, I have that poster! Good to know someone thinks I have good taste. ;) @moongrrl, the messier the better, I say. The afters will look that much more amazing! lol

I love this. Gorgeous! ...but if you think some of these don't cost "an arm and a leg," your budget is a lot more padded than mine. *raises eyebrow*

Just eat them straight! Wash them with just water first to get the dusty white stuff off first (sometimes they're already clean). So jealous!
