We've always kept ours in a drawer...I never thought about there being another way!

I'm a big fan of these meditations-- they come across as more personal for sure (kind of like an editorial, if you were to think of traditional news sources) but also allow the reader time to think...

Yup, I too always use a ladle. It is perfect for getting all the stuff that's sunk to the bottom of soup, plus an even amount of broth. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that I don...

Mmm! I made a fondue type stuffed pumpkin awhile back-- gruyere and bread and stock and cream. So it came out like a gooey bread pudding. So good!

Thank you, EvaInNL! I ended up scraping with a knife, but will try the vinegar option next time (because we all know there will be a next time).

I love that 101 cookbooks recipe too! In fact, I think I OD'ed on brussels sprouts that way last year...but I think I am ready to try it again :)

I was cooking a not particularly colorful fall meal of vegetarian chili (but good!) and some of it burned on the bottom of my enamal dutch oven. Any good ways to get that stuff off? I've "soaked",...

I wish I had a rabbit!

Sharp side up sounds like a bloody accident waiting to happen.

Out of all the foods/recipes I've ever shared with anyone, the MOST favorite is the M. Clark broccoli! It is THAT good! When I make it, I don't even have time to let it marinate, I just pick it wa...

I've found that what works best is a stemless wine glass filled about an inch with sweet(ish) white wine. I've tried everything else-- including red wine!-- and this works best for me.

I've also had the pyrex dish explosion-- I found shards even years later! This summer I made mango juice in my juicer, but when I went to clean it I couldn't get the blade unscrewed. I didn't hav...

I'll give it a shot!

I'm totally on board with drinking and kitchen dancing! I think of that time as a bit of reprieve-- so no need to do a chore :)

For me it's cheese-- sometimes a small amount that comes to maybe $6-- so the price per oz is up there, but overall it's just a little splurge and so worth it!

Do you put the jars into the ramikens? Or only if you are using paper liners?

I've enjoyed having Aquavit around-- good on the rocks while eating smoked salmon or in a cocktail with cucumber or watermelon juice.

What about making summer rolls or egg rolls? the fillings are easy to assemble, then everyone makes their own!

It's almost too gorgeous to eat! Almost ;)

Can't wait to try this; I have a bunch of frozen bananas in the freezer and it's too hot to make banana bread!
