Another good tip for avoiding seeds in eggplant- is to buy male rather than female! You can tell by looking at their little "button" on the bottom- females have an "innie" males an "outie". Prett...
Almost all of the art in our apartment is from thrift stores. My favorite piece is a huge abstract oil painting that I bought for $5 and get complimented on constantly! I buy pretty glass jars for...
I had this problem a lot when I was vegan, because of the fat and egg substitutes that I was using. It makes a HUGE difference. I am a sloppy baker, and despite that fact- I've only ended up with...

Yes it can be done with goats milk as well. Most of the commercially available cheese "kits" have the same recipe for cows and goats milk.
I use mine to store pantry goods, and leftovers that don't need re-heating. I have friends who use a large container to hold their compost goodies before they go outside. I've also used mine to s...
We have more tea cups and salad plates in our cupboards than we do large bowls and dinner plates. Just about the only time we eat off of the large plates is when we're having a salad with/for dinn...
I don't do fake meat. We eat beans when we want a protein in our dinner that isn't fish or meat. We probably only eat meat once a week, and have no problem not eating it at all.
Ice box cake was my favorite new thing (with homemade chocolate wafers, of course!), pickled beets and eggs, pumpkin bread pudding, lamb chops, massaged kale salad, and I just cooked black cod for ...
Cookies for Kids was my favorite cookbook as a child, and my mom would almost always let me bake whatever I wanted out of it. Even though it's very outdated now, and technically full of sugar- it ...
Lavender ice cream, salty cookies (oatmeal or ginger are the best), homemade baked mac and cheese, and anything made with moose or lamb sausage. Great, now I'm hungry!
Percent- A large number of Target stores are being remodeled to fit more of the Fred Meyer/Meijer/Wal Mart (bleh) model- where they have a more substantial grocery section. Ours here in Seattle ju...
We get a CSA box every other week, and I've been intentionally selecting produce that we don't usually eat. It's been a lot of fun using it up and not allowing ourselves to waste any of it. One o...
I can't stand going to the gym, or really even working out indoors. I hooked my bike up to a magnetic bike trainer, and ride it for half an hour on our patio every other night. I get fresh air, a...
I used to always add V8 to a big pot of chili whenever I made it. I like mine to be a bit soupy and I hate diluting it with water. I'll have to try it in some other recipes as well.

I just give my garlic cloves a good WHACK on the cutting board with the side of my knife, and then mince from there. Much faster!
Contacts are my onion savior! As long as I'm wearing contacts and not glasses I can cut onions forever.

Yay Target! Everyone I've talked to at home (Alaska) about this switch is excited. This one change will make a huge difference for Alaskas economy.
