I just write what it is and the date on the lid with a Sharpie, you can't re-use them for canning again anyway.

My current house has 8x8-off white tile, and I hate it with a burning passion. It is impossible to keep clean, especially since I cook a lot and we have two cats and two kids. I sweep, I mop, it al...

I add half a teaspoon along with the vanilla in angel food cake.

I have purchased some Lorina (made in France) sparkling pink lemonade in the past, and the glass bottles come with the type of stoppers pictured above. One 1000ml bottle I got last year is even scr...

We just made some for our tailgate Saturday, and went the easy route: available for mixing were Captain Morgan's Spiced rum and Hot Damn! Burst hot cinnamon schnapps. No one complained.

I've got to side with a few of the posters above. I was born and grew up and worked in Cook County (holla to the Standard Oil Building!) during Richard I's and Richard II's reign (I still live in I...

Oh yeah, I always have leftover duck fat hanging around my fridge too. ;) The recipe says six servings as a side dish, but it seems like it would feed a greater amount of people. It's...

I really never use Crisco (or any shortening) at all, but when my kids ask for cookies, I do buy some. I tried substituting butter, but they came out way too flat, and not how we are used to them. ...

Desiree ~ I like my old old one (probably from the 70s, similar to the one pictured) WAY better than my newer, larger, removable-insert one! I think it keeps a much more steady heat; the newer one ...

Oneisco, I was going to mention the same thing. That's the way my mom makes them when I visit her, and there's none of that 'breaking the yolk' thing like I do sometimes (ok, a lot) when making egg...

Seriously? People take design advice from a man who dresses himself like this? There's quirky and then there is...um, whatever he is trying to pull off. He looks like every painting student I ever ...

He will look like Joaquin Phoenix in a few years. I can forgive tween and teen girls for their obsession, but all the 30 and 40 years olds gushing about him? Ladies, please grow up. It's unseemly. ...

Wow, I don't care for that house at all, but I might be able to get past that for that incredible view (or the $1.6mil). So sure, I'd buy one, why not? As LSUgrad mentioned, they do th...

Mix it with some barbeque sauce! I think that would go well with grilled chicken, pork, salmon or shrimp.

Oh my, NO. The leaves are soooooo stinky! That's the only part I hate about having tomatoes in my garden: the way my hands smell after weeding or picking them. I have to wash my hands about three t...

This is really good: white bean and tuna salad. http://www.foodnetwork.com/re...

I make one that is basically like the watermelon, except I use strawberries or raspberries. I got the recipe years ago from some magazine, and it was called Danish Red-Fruit pudding.

I recognize that it's probably easier for me because I do have a yard, so composting practically everything is easy. I stopped buying most food items in non-recyclable containers a lo...

I'm usually not one for such austere, modern design, but that place/space is amazing. Wow.

We're having a mess of friends over Sunday, it's one guy's birthday as well as his and his wife's anniversary. On the menu: Appetizers: Jalapeno poppers on the grill Homema...
