If anyone wants to witness true hoarding, please come visit Alaska. That seems like a wild generalization, but I feel that I am being fair. I grew up in a pack-rat, hoarding household in the Midwes...

Sweeping! Instant gratification and less pet hair.

Smoked salt. I just CAN'T use plain anymore (except for non-savory baking). I start to get the shakes when it gets low...

"Fancy Quiche" as my friends call it and sichuan tofu are "my recipes." Fancy quiche is fancy because it has shallots, kale and smoked, sun-dried tomatoes in it. Apparently that's fancy! The Sichua...

absolutely stunning. I really admire the owners' impeccable taste and their (and their designers!) ability to converge iconic mid-century design with more modern touches. Beautiful!

Glad to hear it can withstand Eero's stealth moves. However: do you think it can foil a cat who can reach UP into the dispenser with deft kitty paws and get kibbles? This is the problem with a frie...

Whoo hoo! Homer, AK made the list. It is pretty nice here!

I am enjoying the idea of walking up the stairwell and seeing an attractive man showering...does anyone else think the shower stall is perching close to the stairs?

I've made seitan using the Candle Cafe cookbook. Very labor intensive but delicious. I do think the flavor of home-made seitan rivals store-bought--and it's MUCH MUCH cheaper to do it at home.

I'm very lucky...the office building in which I work is a converted duplex home. 2 full kitchens for only 7 employees! It is amazing, though, that only 2 of us bring our lunches to work. I do unde...

-Sweep the kitchen after cooking and doing the dishes -Wash the (simple cotton) curtains once a month. The kitties like to sit in the (damp cabin) windows and there is curtain of fur after ab...

Greyrussian--thanks for the link! Nice to know the company has a metal version, as I thought these bowls were awesome, minus the plastic!

The removable sink would be great for those of us in Alaska without running water! Many folks in my area have a regular stainless or ceramic basin, sans faucets--the water is poured out of a 5 gall...

Maybe a less college-look: I placed old champagne & wine corks in glasses to hold flower stems upright. There was just a little water in the bottom of the glasses & clear vases to prevent wilting....

Please read the rest of this manifesto. Cleary Sterling is a techno geek and an elitist. Reading it several days ago had me frothing. While the quote above seems enlightened and intel...

I think this is great. It would not be practical for me personally as I have 4 pets and live in Alaska with sled dogs--you can imagine the sanitary issues. I do appreciate people being creative in ...

Alaskan raspberry chipotle (on toasted sourdough bread). And our friends' homemade hot pepper apple jam (straight out of the jar on a spoon!).

Whooo! Yay for my hometown making AT:the kitchn! I was pretty lucky to live in an Indiana town with so many wonderful ethnic restaurants. Joanna, hopefully you made it to "International Row" on 4th...

Ditto to kimg924--I want to picture myself in the house I'm trying to buy. So if I see personal stuff, even books, I can't picture my OWN books, my OWN rugs, linens, furniture, artwork, silly magne...

There's another great tiny house company that AT has featured before: Alchemy Architects. The Wee House is my personal favorite in the tiny home world! www.weehouse.com
