I've got a question about 'Debbie's fantastic chocolate chip cookie recipe" that this blog linked to in June, 2007. The first three times I made them they were incredible - flavorful, and SO chewy....

I love lemon/honey/ginger so much, I drink it even when I'm not sick. As a dedicated ginger lover I especially like to make a cup of this in the evening, then let the ginger steep overnight and dri...

Chili with green olives and skillet cornbread!

My goodness, those are snazzy. I love the color.

Mashed potatoes made with yogurt (instead of milk or butter) were a chance discovery made by my house-mate a couple of years ago when she came home from working as camp staff toting a 2-gallon buck...

Yes, please!

I saw something like this in a design studio in Denmark. It made a great room divider.

Beyond materials, there's also the question of where your foam mattress will end up. About four years ago I toured the recycling and garbage processing facilities of Edmonton Alberta, at the time o...

Alaskan Mermaid: It is on YouTube, search "ikea ad home is the most important place".

I like the shape and design process here immensely. The name seems rather odd to me, since it implies many languages' word for Library yet the shelves feel much more suited to light reading and kni...

What an atmospheric tour of a beautiful work space. However, where's the desk? Clean or messy, pretty tools or utilitarian tools, I'm always so grateful when craftspeople show us what keeps their h...

It's great to see one of Portland's many cob projects used on AT. Any thought seeking an editor from design- and construction-conscious Portland to contribute to your West Coast blogs?
