Can you request guests to bring plastic plates? If you have invited other 2-3 year olds, their parents probably have suitable plates. Does the "Little Gym" have a kitchenette? Possib...

I've had a squirrel mark his territory on my balcony screen. So, I would try to rub down the screen with a little soap and water first to get rid of their scent. then rub on the hot peppers, as m...

the tree decal coat rack is very charming.

Lovely idea. To cut costs, I would take co-ordinating fabric and tie it around the plastic pot the plants would come in. That would be cheaper, right?

She did such a lovely job!

I haven't tried it. But I thought the whole point of using charcoal, was... well, for the charcoal grilling taste it imparts on the food. Is it cheaper than using your oven? I know it would be n...

Pricey at $38. Love the design though. I would use tp in it, but use it as a kleenex box. Some people would cringe at the idea... but, it's not like I'm using old tp!

For outside windows that get all grimy, I use a small squirt of dish soap in water and a squeegee... For mirrors and the like indoors, I use just a damp microfiber and another dry micr...

Is it sad that I guessed the use? I don't own one, but I knew they existed.

Try searching for a community compost bin. You can take your scraps there, and other people in the community can take from the bin, if they need. There might be one in your area.

Mosquitos love me. Thanks for the tip!

Yes, I would also like to know how allergy sufferers cope with the Kleenex issue. Do they need to carry around more than one hankie?... I seem to go through 5-6 in a row, in the mornings....

I was always told that vegetables turn brown when you decide to peek, and then re-cover it. Once the lid comes off, it should stay off.

Once you cut the daffodils and give them a chance to leach out their sap (in a separate container of water), you can then go ahead and mix them in mixed bouquets without much harm to the other flow...

I am in the other boat about non-stick. I avoid it like the plague. I guess it really does depend on your cooking style. For me, the only skillet I have is a cast iron frying pan (actually 2). ...

Maybe pull a colour you like from one of the smaller printed patterns on the bottom of the curtain. Striped sounds nice too, it might help in girly-ish overkill. The chair might disappear into th...

Rachelw, thanks for the explanation, it took me awhile to grasp the concept. This makes more sense now.

Cupajo, you're right, I do feel better better for having participated. But, please don't assume that is the only thing I do. I think it's important to show your support for initiatives like this.

Cupajo, I guess the difference is that turning the lights off for an hour produces a measurable gesture. It's hard to count the number of people with their head hung and fists raised in the air.

Something in the milk tenderizes the chicken, not sure if you can substitute it with another liquid. That being said, I can't wait to try this recipe!
