I love Scotch Whisky and the Japanese have some great ones, too. Haven't really ventured over to the American whiskeys much. Fun articles. Thanks for writing it! My drin...

I add green apples to mine. Not too many because the apples will overwhelm.

That would have been my other guess--that it's for tea. It seems like something that would be used for steeping and then allowing the water to flow through. Although, I wonder how you block the s...

I recently bought something that looks similar. It's a juicer. The middle part is an owl, and the liquids drain into a hole into the reservoir below. It then has a spout that I can use to drain ...

$225 for a pan? A nonstick one? I remember reading somewhere that the teflon coating will come off eventually, and the pan will have to be replaces. Please correct me if I am wrong...

Unfortunately, this works only with petroleum based dishsoap. That's why when there's an oil spill clean up at the beach, they specify that you bring petroleum based dishsoap. I use t...

My shower curtain is from anthropologie. I splurged on it and I love it. It really pulls the room together. Ebay is a good option if you're looking for something in specific. I woul...

I'd love to see the painted fish in your bathroom. Please do a post on this!

Thanks tropicalcyclone for your wonderful help. I did look it up, and all I got was "about advertising int he 60's." I was looking to the community not just for a brief synopsis, but as to why pe...

I don't have a television. I have no idea what "Mad Men" is about. I keep hearing about it. Will someone please fill me in on what the show is about? Is it available on DVD? (I do ...

Gourmet magazine featured gnocchi made with sweet potatoes. I'd really like to try that out. But I think, gnocchi made from a combo of pumpkin and potatoes with fried sage and garlicky Brussels s...

Yan of Yan Can Cook always has cornstarch by his side. When making asian dishes, I use cornstartch to thicken sauces, but all other dishes, I generally prefer a roux.

So happy it's not turquoise!

Please bring your reusable coffee mugs to coffeeshops. We need to move out of the disposable culture we live in. Once in a while, sure, but some people get coffee to go every day, several times a...

I'd love to see more her deck! Great space!

Paint the walls gray! I think it would give the stairs more mysterious quality to it. Failing that, hardware/home improvement stores have laminates you can plaster over the stairs. Ikea even sel...

I'm with Emily. Bed is beautiful, please don't cover it. Save your money to get the bed you want and then you can give it to someone who will love the bed.

I am house sitting for my boss and she has a turkey fig tree. There's more figs than I can eat. So, I just did my first batch of canning fig jam/preserve.

Voting doesn't work for me. It hasn't worked for me except once during this contest.
