These are absolutely lovely -- but a big YIKES at the price! Also, I will admit, I don't see what makes these any greener than any other candle holder, though I can appreciate supporting a local a...

The "keeping things separate" method has always been a favorite in this household, enough so that we have different reusable sandwich containers designed specifically for it. I personally have nev...

I have a lovely flour canister - it doesn't hold ten pounds of flour by any means, but that just gave me an excuse to buy a couple of 'em ;) They definitely add a pop of color to my kitchen, thoug...

The one here in Annapolis, Maryland, has been open since the first weekend in April. Rules on the books read that it can only sell things grown/produced in this county, and since we've had a long,...

Carmelized onions make a great addition to a savory pie crust -- I made these awesome little steak pies (made in muffin cups) with a crust that included carmelized onion and they were out of this w...

Agreeing with dede concerning Barkeeper's Friend -- I bought a table very similar to that one a little over a year ago and after a weekend scrubdown with the stuff, it looked brand new.

marisab - I store my stock in the freezer in reusable plastic containers...I haven't had any issues so far, healthwise or tastewise, but if you're nervous about plastic there's nice glass container...

Love it! I bet it's easy to make an Ikea Hacked version of this, too...since I'm doubting I could afford the actual Italian-made one...

This looks kind of like "Cooking For Dummies." It's probably handy if you've never cut an onion before...but I think anyone who already knows the basics (or even rough basics) of cooking wouldn't ...

"...only $100 to spend on groceries," For one meal. For 8 people. Clearly I'm not earning enough money because that seems a bit ridiculous, especially considering the main course is ...

Art is in the eye of the beholder =) If you want to create your own Mark Rothko or Jackson Pollack, I say go for it! Another good artist to look at -- for both imitation and the addit...

We had Thanksgiving at my dad's so the only leftovers we got are the things I brought: lots of PIE! The dinner crowd was cut in half thanks to illness and traffic, and half the remaining crowd was...

I wear socks or go barefoot -- our apartment runs under the rule of "take your shoes off once you get in the door" and that doesn't change in the kitchen. I suspect I'd start wearing s...

I've fasted before various blood tests and medical procedures where it was required, but not in any case where I didn't absolutely have to or like brenjay, where eating completely slipped my mind f...

Some time ago (last Christmas, I think), I picked up a bottle of Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Corn Syrup (

Yellow! The one choice I've made in life that's never changed; my favorite color.

One of my best kitchen purchases ever, price-wise (not necessarily practicality-wise; that goes to the Kitchenaid mixer & my cast iron pans) was an All-Clad kettle I found at a consignment shop. T...

Cute! Much nicer than my current keyhook, which is a cheap plastic clock-type thing we grabbed at Bed, Bath & Beyond for 2 bucks from the clearance bin (it's kitschy and cute, but...well...rather ...

I want that couch (it would go well with all my octopus/squid/underwater prints & kitsch) but I have to wonder how long it would take to get sick of all that decor. It'd be kind of like living in ...

It's a beautiful cabinet but the price -- yikes! I'll stick to my old milk crates. I wonder if someone could Ikea Hack something similar?
