Our house was renovated and decorated in the 80's, so although it was "nice", it was outdated. But it was no matter for us as long as the walls were clean. We repainted and were able to remove the ...

I love the way herbs and pots look, but I find with kits like is this - Herbs grow at different times from seeds, so you'll never get that look all at once. They also have different spacing and wat...

I'm Chinese, so we've always taken our shoes off. I've never had much opposition from anyone. Most people from all cultural backgrounds seem to understand. Most people see I don't wear shoes (but s...

My husband and I are currently renovating our kitchen and I have been doing a lot of thinking about our back splash as well. Eventually I would like to install some tile, but it's not something in...

I was told you can put green tomatoes in a paper bag and they will ripen. An italian friend of my mother's makes pickled green tomatoes in vinegar and olive oil.

Hmmm, sounds interesting, but don't plants need sun?

I do love the smell of bacon, coffee and cinnamon in the morning, but my soft spot is definitely my mother's congee (rice porridge).

We go to this Brazilian restaurant and they do this shredded kale, garlic, vinegar, and oil salad and it's simple and delish.

My mom puts in them in a tub of water in the fridge and a few spoons of flour.

I agree I'm afraid to fry chicken as well. My best friend makes the best fried chicken so I leave it to her with promises of basil and salad in return. Other things I'm afraid of are ...

I swear by this pasta salad by Barefoot Contessa. With fresh ingredients this salad is heavenly. And it's one of those recipes that are easily expanded for larger parties of people. O...

Oh, I'd like to see you post about how each one tastes. I find the white one to be milder. I get a small allergic reaction to the deep purple ones.

Or is it asparagi (plural)

My asparagus still hasn't gotten there yet. Maybe another year or two. I find it a little too salty so I'll wrap 2-3 asparagust together with 1 slice.

I noticed the green tomatoes are .25C cheaper. Buy the green tomatoes, stick them in a paper bag at room temperature and they will turn red in a few days and you've saved yourself money right there!

I know Sandy and she is a very talented woman!

I agree with the above commenters to leave the beans, but gently remove the cucumber seedlings into their own pots atleast 12"-14" in diameter. What is important is to stick a lattice in the pot i...

I always enjoy seeing photos of other people's garden, but Martha Stewart's and others similar to that I'm generally a bit skeptical. It's just not practical - It's a lot of work, maintenance, and...

It's also popular amongst Korean food to wrap beef in. You can find bunches of it at the korean food mart in Koreantown if you're in NYC. I grew it last year and it should come back this year bec...

I do this with all kinds of used plastic bottles. It keeps the plants shielded from cold winds and nibbling critters until it's large enough to be out of reach or out of danger.
