I like the blue stairs / blue walls but I was just thinking that different hues of blue on each stair might be interesting. And yes! I love the wallpaper idea for the risers too, Modtr...

I've made peace with the screw cap. I'm assured that my wine won't be corked or skunky and it makes it easy to get into a bottle, especially when traveling. So yes, I'm all for it in most cases, bu...

Salad dressing and a good stir fry.... No idea.

tastes like pretty.

Three things that as a kid, I thought only rich people had: • in-ground pools • stairs to the bedrooms • blue toilet water

Ginger ale & vanilla for me too - and I'm from Boston as well. How strange. I didn't know these things were regional. Although, I never knew about the root beer float until much later in life.

As a rule I try not to eat cold gray things. But if I were going to eat it, I would most definitely want to do it in a dark room off a lucite tooth.

A more perfect health/calorie conscious cracker has never ever been made. Great with all cheeses and dips - I love mine with hummus.

I agree, Baby Bjorn by far. I had a Fisher Price with the happy gizmo bar but it scared the baby. Now we've gone lo-tech and he loves it. Not only that, but you can wash the entire seat in the wash...

Love it. I go to any of three grocery stores in my area depending on what I need. If I get to spend two hours, I'm very happy. It's even better if I've just cleaned my fridge and get to put my fres...

Gulag sheik. Looks about as comfortable as a bed of nails.

Renata, your post is right on, by the way. The Cake Bible is the best book to have. I've also found that Martha Stewart's recipes are pretty foolproof, although there are lots of extra steps. And a...

By the way, Renata your post is right on the money. The Cake Bible is invaluable. I made my own for a party of 65 guests and even being an experienced baker, it was a challenge. By th...
