what counts as timeless in a kitchen reno? I agree that stainless steel & granite have been around for quite a while, but what's next? I love that marble backsplash. I'd prefer a dar...

Agreed, the photography doesn't do the space justice.

Love it, I'm in an apt (5) with my fiance and we're hoping to buy a house soon - sure hope it's a temporary dwelling!

I've got the leftover ham bone from Easter. Anyone have a great recipe for split pea soup? That's what I'd like to make. Or maybe another bean soup recipe - it's split in two, so I...

I always wonder how fresh they are and rarely buy mussels even though I love them. Curse you - Anthony Bourdain!!!

I bought a gorgeous glass one in Home Goods for $15. Goes with everything, serves more than cakes.

Rats, I was in Sintra a few years ago, and didn't know to look out for the pastries. The castle are gorgeous and have such beautiful tiles and sculptures. One of my favorite travel photographs is...

My mom taught me mise en place when she went to culinary school. I use it all the time, but have learned to modify it, b/c sometimes a dish takes longer when I prep everything first. Like for a s...

Last year I flew to Beijing on Air China - they had mood lighting in first class upper deck. Whoop-dee-do. Shoot I missed the "sponsored post" tag - that blows, AT.

Whoops, just saw the earlier post on how to write up a recipe. Disregard comment above, please.

I was looking forward to learning something about recipe writing and testing. This post revealed nothing, except that the author is quite self-centered.

Now that someone pointed it out, that missing column throws everything off. Why not make a fake one? I second all the paint rec's especially the gold - I think that would work great. I do wonder...

Whoa! I've had these in my bedroom for 2 years. I like to stare at them when I first wake up - sometimes I only see circles, other times only petals. Guess it's time for new ones.

Me too!!!

Just curious, Loki, why do you hate your slow cooker? I rec'd one as a Christmas present and haven't really used it beyond keeping chili hot.

Meh, underwhelmed. Like others, I've been cooking with a few things I've found during week 1 and 2. I think most people motivated enough to sign up for the cure are already centered in their kitc...

I cleaned out my fridge yesterday and I feel great! My bf pitched in too, and we took every shelf out & cleaned it, emptied every bin and washed it, and purged some more things at his suggestion. ...
