I have to ask, where'd you get the idea for this post? I just posted this exact question on Friday. It must just be garlic season! I got some good tips though, including lemonade with fresh lemons,...
We always picked blackberries around the neighborhood because they were in a very low-traffic area. And for a while we picked at the park until they started spraying there. The goal was always to g...
Omigod I bought out the last of these at the Crate and Barrel outlet when I heard they were going out of business, this is great! We break pint glasses like once a month but in almost 30 years I ha...
I agree with the vote for a rug to cover that linoleum (something mod and Chilewich-y?) and something more efficient than that microwave cart (concealed storage, please). Would your mom be sad if y...
angelfunk, that's so exciting! I wonder if we could do that...
In the meantime we've got lavender and catmint that the bees adore and I can't kill, along with some bee balm and other h...
Any chance of a link to the "summer feast served lakeside"? It sounds gorgeous and I can't find it on the website. Do I need to go buy the magazine? Should I?
I like my margaritas with frozen strawberries instead of ice. But not pre-packaged frozen ones, I will go to the Farmer's Market and buy a flat of strawberries if I am having a party - they get cut...
I think the raised bed idea is good, they are supposed to be less water-intensive and easier to grow stuff in because they are less dependent on the quality of your existing soil. And it's less la...
When I'm having a nice party, I will go buy the big box of assorted crackers from Costco. They have multi-grain, sesame and my fave buttery ones all in one big box (and it's always there) for a res...
I wish everywhere would start charging for bags, plastic and paper both if they still offer both. People, bring your own! Also, mrs, where did you find your nylon produce bags? Are you happy with t...
Grr, my local CSA doesn't even start until May. It's 71 with a chance of show tomorrow and the lady at the nursery last weekend showed me where the tomato plants were and followed up by saying "you...
I am very interested in these as we are in a very windy area (predicted 70mph winds today, oy), but their website says we are in a low wind area where it would not be economical for us to use these...
She's just another one who sells that print now. It makes me wish I hadn't bought it. Although I do like supporting the little British bookstore that first decided to reprint it instead of one of t...
I think that there are very few things that my husband and I are equally attached to. He likes the sofa, I like the loveseat. It's all kind of split. Stuff that was bought under his momentum vs. mi...
It bothers me to no end that they are required to prove that they are bad before the ban can be enforced. I would much rather have the big companies prove that GMO's aren't bad.
STLcolleen, if you've already got bulbs coming up, I'd start with a careful rake, weed and mulch. Maybe a bit of fertilizer for whatever bigger shrubby stuff you've got. I'd leave trimming for the ...
My parents got me a really nice oval glass one from the Sharper Image - I keep it in the laundry room since there isn't space on the bathroom floor. It's very unobtrusive and sleek.
Huh, I think if Chris had said that it was some sort of fake fur instead of human hair people would have been way less freaked out. Apparently they weren't allowed to use any type of animal fur so ...

Sour cherry pie from when I was little and we had a cherry tree with fruit too sour to eat straight.
I made my own granola last night based off of this general recipe: http://orangette.blogspot.com/2008/02/consider-it.html
