I have been having a nightmare of a time with blind baking. My crusts always shrink and the sides slide down into the bottom of the pan. I've put pie weights in, I've put the crust in the freezer f...

Art- I guess that's why it didn't really make sense to me. They didn't have time to experiment - they only had 4 hours to make something amazing, so they didn't really do anything that different th...

I don't use family recipes. I had enough of it growing up and they sometimes border on mediocre (sorry to my mom and mother in law). When we host Thanksgiving we do it "fancy". Long, laborious, and...

I know they explained the Bocuse d'or but I still don't get it. It looked like the type of food they've been cooking all season but served on a giant mirror.

I just wish when they did these catering events they used real plates. Everything looks like crap on plastic plates. I was surprised Eli couldn't come up with anything better than popcorn cr...

I cannot wait! I love stop animation.

I have an 8 year old Jasper sofa that gets a lot of use. It doesn't look so hot anymore. I have to do some fluffing and throw pillow arranging for it not to look too battered.

I think this is my favorite kitchen remodel. It's not over the top, looks clean and fresh and makes me want to go in there and bake a pie. Lovely.

I loved the blind quickfire. I definitely would have been like Mike I. and used up 5 of my 10 minutes just letting my eyes adjust to the light. I have sensitive eye balls. I'm very hap...

I do this regularly on my gas stove with the marshmallow shoved on the end of a chopstick. It's very high class.

Are copper pots usually used for decor? Is that why they are lacquered? I'm so confused. My mom had copper bottom pots that she scrubbed with copper cleaner every time she used them. I think...

Some magazine (maybe Martha?) had a suggestion to use a baking sheet filled with stones for a door mat for winter boots.

I don't like buying drinks (except wine or milk). It just seems sort of pointless and takes up too much room in the refrigerator.

I too thought the "after" photo was the "before" - but I was bummed that it was going to be replaced with something else. I like the remodel - but it's super dated looking (which I think is the poi...

Sounds nice. How is it in the bedroom? Does your bed get too hot? I like every room to be about 68-70 except for the bedroom I like to be around 65 - so since you said it takes a while to heat up I...

This is just so amazingly cute.

Ash should have left a long time ago. I think there is a huge disparity between talent - the brothers, Kevin, and Jen are all really great chefs, and then there is the rest. I will be surprised if ...

I've had food poisoning 3 times in the past 5 years. It's no picnic. But I'm a little confused, are these foods more contaminated than they were in the past (prior to 1990-2006)?

Kevin is my favorite. I did not like how the one monotone brother snapped at him when he asked about the dishes. Get a grip, bro. I was mostly disturbed by the odd green pantsuit that ...

I keep reading this as "Pearl Bailey".
