The Bocuse d'or is like the Olympics of cooking. International teams compete to create the most complex, time-consuming and articulate hot and cold platters of food you could imagine. Teams spend ...

They are wood hollow core doors? Maybe you could prime and paint them (any color you want) with an enamel? I have hollow core doors as well and I am trying to figure out an easy step b...

Those look unctuous. Rich meat balanced with aromatic herb and citrus reminds me of all the good food in Northern California.

I would like to add anything by Captain and Tenille to that list...Just kidding! Maybe. Wow! Seven of those albums were on regular rotation for me when they came out. Doesn't make m...

Wow. What fun. I'll add that I and my wife have been the victims of peepings too. Sometimes I forget, and Chelsea forgot last week, that in IL you can't purchase alcohol before 11 am....

guilty cart peeper. I chalk it up to research. It's interesting to see how much money some people spend on groceries. The prepared foods tally up really quickly. I als...

I'd go for a small turkey breast. If you are handy with a knife you can even take it off of the bone and it will cook much quicker and be less of a hassle--just slice off what you eat that night a...

So much color and texture and fun to look at. Plus, you have excellent taste in wallpaper (particularly the G&B "solitude" pattern!) Really love the way all the colors and objects look together.

I'm looking forward to next week's episode where one of the V brothers says to Kevin something like, "I cook your food at home on my day off." The chicken wing dish was like an ad for ...

This reminds me of an apartment I used to live in.

These are good to use if you have smoky neighbors (and you are not a smoky neighbor). Smoke and cooking fumes can get pulled through neighbors' outlets and into your place.

Can't wait to check it out. I always identified that neighborhood with Meyer Delicatessen.

yep. cured and smoked pork belly. I thought it was funny on Top Chef when someone took slab bacon and made a pork belly dish and threw Tom for a loop. I believe he may have won the challenge.

I've been thinking about the whole idea of "kind of green" lately. It's easy to be kind of green at home by switching to certain products, using less water, etc. It can make us feel good and we c...

Try a closet bar too if you have a closet space that's not getting any use. Set up an Ikea cabinet base with a countertop and put up a couple of shelves. Take off the door and make it a focal poi...

I like(d) this one.

Always in my fridge. It's good with freshly roasted vegetables.

Yes! clampers said it!

Tap into your inner squirrel.

Funny, what they are re-purposing in the Netherlands we haven't even started purposing in the US.
