I have to disagree - my great aunts used to add rutabagas to the mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving and I dreaded going to their house, it's one of those awful childhood memories.
The first Christmas in my new house and both sides of the family were coming to dinner. I put the beef tenderloin in the fidge in the garage to free up space in the house. A little while later my h...
I'm on my second upright freezer, the first one was my grandmother's and when it died I bought another upright. I'm vertically challenged and always had a tough time reaching things in the bottom o...
I'm going out after work today to pick some fabri-tac up - I have some velvet curtains that need to be shortened or replaced and wasn't looking forward to sewing them. I think I'll try this first.
I have a Crate and Barrel table - don't know its name - it's oval and over 18 years old. We use it almost every night and it has held up really well. We only open it half way for the 2 of us but it...
We've got a new puppy and have had to replace our back door screen three times this past summer. Hubby and I are getting really good at doing it. Hopefully the puppy has broken the habit by now.
I started my subscription when I was still in high school, back in 1977. I still have all those issues. I stopped when Ruth Reichl took over - it seemed to lose its focus on food and more on travel...
My best advise would be to hit up the library and take out a couple of cookbooks for crockpots. They can all be really different in style so it might be wise to try a couple of recipes before you p...
My husband and I share a queen size bed but our spare room comes in handy. I have raging insomnia and he snores so on bad nights I get up and change beds. I couldn't permanently sleep separately bu...
I got a tax credit a few years ago for buying an energy star washer, new doors and new windows. It's time for my 17 year old fridge to be put out of its misery (it's really on its last legs) so I'v...
Really inforamtive, up in the northeast we use a lot of shredded bark, I mix mine with shredded maple leaves. It's softer underfoot and the leaves are free from my yard.
I donate the ones that I don't really need to my local public library. Three times a year they have a killer book sale so they go to good use. I try and limit my books to 3 4' high bookshelves so w...
I'd be lost without my extra freezer. I cook a lot of things in big batches (soups, sauces etc.) and freeze a lot of fruits and veggies from my garden. It pays for itself with staples for quick mea...

Going to Mom's, bringing about 1/3rd of the dinner - Sherry Vinegar dressing for the salad Leaf Crisps from Martha Stewart
I want this kitchen - it's my dream brought to life.
I just put a row of low bookshelves under my living room window, it looks much better than I would have expected and gives me some valuable space.

Definitely going to use this as a garnish this Thanksgiving.

All I needed to do this morning was see the photo - now I'm salivating and trying to figure out where to get a gianduja fix.

local peaches, blueberries and sugarplums (plums about an inch in diameter) super sweet and delicious!

A little tarragon in chicken salad brightens it up. I also use it with mustard when I roast chicken.
