I think my special project will be a backsplash with some color since I can't paint (I'm a renter). I think I want to do a black/white/red theme in the kitchen and I was thinking of getting black a...
Mine are split 1/2 in the kitchen and 1/2 in the hall closet. I just have a few all purpose sprays and extra dish soap and sponges, but like to have things at my fingertips. Though I guess you coul...
Any options for temporary backsplashes for renters? I can't paint in my kitchen, but I would like to add some color. My cabinets are light-ish wood and the walls are white (http://www.flickr.com/ph...
lotusmoss - the Sh-mop looks SO much more effective than my swiffer, which I think only picks up about 50% of what's actually on the floor!

I sweep (dust pan and brush) about 3-4 times a week. I don't think I have ever mopped though!
I've actually never bought a broom or a mop -- any recommendations for eco-friendly models?
Didn't get to it this weekend, but will work on it this week. I did start making a mental list of things that I need to get rid of and I don't think it's that much! Maybe just some kitchen utensils...
I actually did most of this sorting last week but it will be good to give it another run through! My biggest challenge will be kitchen utensils and figuring out where to keep them. Right now I have...
yogini -- I thought the same thing! I ended up purging about 2 garbage bags of expired food and generally gross things found in the fridge.

I'm a renter in Murray Hill and I'm looking to make my kitchen more user friendly. We have a good sized space with one half occupied by a fun bar area with sports memorabelia and the ...
I bought the Debby Meyer Green Bags at CVS a few weeks ago and they actually work pretty well. I think the trick is to have as little moisture in them at all times, so about 2 or 3 times a week I j...
Last night I attempeted braising for the first time and made beef short ribs braised in Black & Tan (Yuengling). They were so hearty and delicious ... I was so proud of myself!
I made these last night (my first attempt at braising anything!) and they were amazing. This will definietly become my go-to dish when I need something warm and hearty. Thanks!
I just made this for dinner the other night, but instead of butter, I used a little olive oil and grated ginger. I didn't eat the rind, but my SO did, so I guess to each his own.

Dinner tonight -- pan-seared scallops over greens with a side of roasted butternut squash.
Not really sure if the two go together, but I'm excited to see :-)

I have all but given up on making rice -- it always comes out either burned or hard. Any tips?
