I agree that it's creepy and rude and try to avoid it. I also have a tendency to grab a basket not a cart and proceed to fill it with two bottles of wine, three nights' dinners, canned pantry stap...

We had this a couple apartments ago and it's by far the best, sturdiest piece I've ever gotten from IKEA (and that's a large sample size). Our kitchen was very long with counter-space on only one ...

Our kitchen has this ridiculously shallow drawer (used to be a pull-out cutting board above it) that gets used for tupperware lids. Nothing else can fit in it. I go all-plastic, thoug...

Agreed, syrupandhoney. That kitchen is three times the size of mine. Full size oven and refrigerator. Gas stove! My kitchen barely fits two people standing side by side, let alone actually cooki...

I made the vegan yum yum one a few months ago and it was fantastic. Granted, I don't eat much dairy and eggplant is about my favorite food on earth, but wow was that pine nut spread tasty.

I grew up in CT and had never heard of this. I don't feel like I was missing anything. Ew.

Not always. For one, I nearly got banned from the kitchen for insisting something green go in every meal. Or left to eat the entire pot of spinach myself. So now I figure as long as there's some...

Anything not individually wrapped will probably get tossed. You really don't want dozens of kids rooting around in anything that's not wrapped up. There are organic / more natural / slightly heal...

This is very helpful!

Angel hair. I'll mess around with other shapes, particularly for pastas full of meat and veggies, but angel hair/cappelini is my hands-down favorite.

I'm not sure how cutting all carbs would reduce migraines. I know for some people with insulin issues, going low carb can be helpful, but even the lowest carb diets (i.e. Atkins which forces your ...

We have a tiny freezer and buying another one isn't an option. :( It's also generally stocked with at least 3-4 kinds of veggie burgers. Not a pantry staple, but really useful. Froze...

I made the Uova in Purgatorio. I'd done something similar, but finished it in the oven, so the all-stovetop method was new, simpler, and delicious. Will definitely be making again.

We don't have a dining room table. We eat on the couch (er, futon) and coffee table. I'm pretty sure my boyfriend eats lunch in bed, since I always find dirty dishes next to it when I get home.

Last night was supposed to be steak night, with a nice bottle of wine to celebrate my boy's birthday. But then I got sick and didn't want to waste the fancy food on dulled tastebuds (and really di...

I tend to be skeptical of this sort of thing, and even more so of the idea that plate color affects amount eaten. Anecdotal evidence: my family eats mostly off of blue and violet plates and we eat...

soup soup soup. plain white rice if my stomach is upset.

One set of chipped, stained, once-white IKEA dishes. They're terrible and haven't really survived the five or so moves I've put them through, but I hate buying stuff so I haven't replaced them. I ...

two words: hot sauce

Bananas. I refused to eat them as a kid. Then, between the drinking and the running, I started getting massive potassium cravings and now I like and even crave them as long as they're ripe enough...
