Can we continue these "5 Ways" posts past the end of the month? They are so helpful!

I can't believe you use a measuring cup to serve soup. That just seems so....college student. A friend gave me a huge Henckle meat cleaver that is so huge and bulky that I never use it.

I rarely make meatballs....all that extra work and it tastes just the same as making a meat sauce for spaghetti.

Any tips on how to make tomato soup less "tangy" (without adding tons of heavy cream)?

Does it taste like bananas?

dev1ils - share the oatmeal recipe!

swatters - I'd love more details on that recipe!

The trouble with white grout is....it doesn't stay white. We recently did our bathroom in white subwya tile and used a pale grey grout, and it looks great.

Late in the zucchini season I discovered this recipe for Zucchini Gratin.....delicious. http:...

I TOTALLY agree!!! I already have it on my weekend to-do list...baking bread.

KkatMpls: Yes it does, but i usually make about 3 liters of yogourt at a time.

Excellent idea. I strain homemade yogourt on a weekly basis and I haaaate dealing with cheesecloth.

I grew blue potatoes in my garen this year and they are so unappetizing.....even though they taste just like regular potatoes, I have the hardest time bringing myself to cook them.

I tried this recipe and wasn't too impressed. I see I'm in the minority!

I always wonder about how effective it is to leave plants in the bathroom for humidity. We probably only have the shower running 20 minutes per day, out of 24 hours.

I thought the movie was one of the most (unintentionally) hillarious movies I've seen in a long time. My husband thought so too.

Vodka martinis. Raw tomatoes. Seafood. Swiss Chard.

I don't like it.

I wear rings that don't have any nooks and crannies so I can keep them on at all times.

I would love to, but the exterior of my house is brick (earth tones & red) and the interior is mostly pale greys & blues, and I can't decide on any bright color that would look good with both.
