If you're just starting out quilting, I would recommend "Your First Quilt Book" by Carol Doak; it does a good job of covering all the basic stuff without overwhelming you. And the Craftster websit...

Oh, apparently "agency, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" = every single person in this country (with the possible exception of Bill Gates) is one bad car accident or illness away from ba...

I have a cake recipe that uses it, but I think that's the only thing I use it for. It gives a nice flavor to the cake, but it can be overwhelming (like nutmeg) if you use too much.

My yes, that word "boobies" is so very tacky. I prefer "gazongas" myself. Jeez, people, lighten up. Good (and fun) post on an important topic. Thank you.

Yesterday was my honey's birthday, so we had people over for dinner and had a great time. I made Cook's Illustrated's Baked Ziti with Italian Sausage, garlic bread, roasted broccoli, and 3-Layer C...

Running puts a tremendous amount of force on your joints and there's no way you should be running on hard surfaces without good shoes. Just ask my father, who ran for years and (so far) has had bo...

What a mess.

I can't stand anything with cutesy sayings on it. No, I will not "live laugh love" and I don't take orders from inanimate objects, dammit!

Yes, beautiful, but hell on the hips, knees, and back; I've discovered that the hard way in our new house. I'm going to have to cover up that lovely stone with rubber mats so that I don't wake up ...

I'm a big believer in bringing your lunch from home as a way to cut costs, eat healthy, and live a bit greener, but the problem that I've always had with the super-cute bento box lunches I see onli...

Aren't ficus notorious for dropping all their leaves at the slightest stress? They may be hard to kill, but they seem inclined toward attempted suicide . . . . Do you have enough drai...

Yikes! This post has made me remember an incident I'd forgotten from years ago. My ex-boyfriend's two brothers came to visit us one summer in Boston. My ex and I set out to show them the town, b...

"I like that they're making a conscious decision to encourage their customers to buy more cheese and not to be afraid of cheese prices." I think you're being a bit too charitable here....

My honey is considering signing up, but the price--yikes! He loves all things pencil and I love all things colorful, but with the thingies to put them on the wall, the total would be somewhere in ...

I fear these are the kind of bikes that do tend to stay in the garage, simply because they're going to weigh a ton with all that metal on them. They're really cute, but I suspect they're a drag to...

I'm with you on the snuggle factor, floppysherman. When my honey and I have shared a king while on vacation, most of it winds up unused because we sleep squished together. We prefer a queen to a ...

I'm so with you, Sarah! Sure, there are a few shows I miss, but I don't miss the 99% of TV that's pure garbage, the constant commercials yelling at me, or the rest of it. I find that it makes my ...

Your comment is interesting, matchbookhymnal, and I hadn't heard that before about whey being added to cheeses. That would explain why I have such trouble with cheeses like cheddar, though I can d...

I agree, fledgling; vacation is about opening yourself up to new experiences! When my honey and I spent a weekend in Leavenworth, WA--pretty much kitsch central--we chose a B&B based on the photos...

"We suppose what it comes down to is that when you rent from strangers, their taste is bound to differ from yours." I would say that this is all that needs to be said about this topic....
