Obviously, you can re-gift if you want and not feel guilty about it. I can't do it. For me, the point of gifts is the thought behind them and taking someone else's gift to you and giving it to some...
I really don't like the idea of regifting unless you tell the person "I received this as a gift and I think you'd like it more than me". It seems disingenious to give someone something in the guise...
I was happy for him - I actually got a little misty when he started crying. It was kind of sweet. I wanted Kevin to win but honestly, all three were obviously very talented. Since I can't taste the...
I tend to envision Deery Lou or Bambi when I see deer in the wild. But I understand hunting has a purpose. Most animals need predators to keep their own species thriving and others as well (all tho...
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 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 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...
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...

I could eat roasted veggies at every meal. Love them.

I've done this! I thought I was being really cheap and borderline trashy at the time. Good to know I'm not.
I use my handheld stick mixer. I just put the cream in a pyrex measuring cup, dash of vanilla and a little sugar, and it takes like 2 minutes.
My biggest advice is to bake the desserts the day before. And try to time as much stuff as possible - it's best to do the sides stove top if possible.

I cannot wait! I love stop animation.

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

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