Don't use a knife on the halves after you slice and score them (or don't even bother scoring them). Just eat them out of the mango with a teaspoon or spoon. The curved spoon gets more of the fruit ...

I wished it was a bit more pure yellow - it's definitely a softer, saffron-y yellow bordering on ochre in reality/at the stores.

Had so damn much trouble with that loathsome Karim bottle, couldn't dispense soap without herculean efforts that were best put into scrubbing pans. Haven't had any problems with this new bottle so ...

I love them. They're a perfect counterpoint to more traditional shapes, and kinda trendy with the new design movement for faceted furnishings.

I found the Nelson chair to be quite comfy, plus there's a lot more lyricism to the design of the seat. However, I already have my swag of choice: the Gubi chair with swag legs, in bright yellow wo...

I'd buy this bookshelf. Especially if that guy came as a gift with purchase! :P

The newer versions seem rather squared out, and I might be mistaken, but they didn't seem to recreate what looks to be welted seams on the originals, which would account for the sharp edges. ...

It's a great idea, and one that I gravitated to when I saw it two ICFFs ago. Unfortunately, the sample they showed had rather spotty workmanship. I hope the production pieces are much improved.

It's fun to watch food prep programs anytime. But I echo the sentiment of the other poster who mentions that since it doesn't really need to be viewed too sequentially, it's fun to watch. Food porn...

I love bok choy, and we all cook it very similarly, it seems. I love it sautéed in olive oil with garlic and some fish sauce to season, with a dash of sesame oil thrown in a minute before se...

Ohmigod, RJD - chicos! We had a tree in our yard too and I never ate the fruit, although our girls would always climb the trees (much to my fear that they would fall and land on our cement drivewa...

Hah! Carol, that was exactly what I was thinking - I'd be wary to recommend any of my upholsterers until this thing checked out for bedbugs, lest my own work at their places be infected! ;)

Yeah, I love this screensaver. I've had it for several years and it makes the monitor part of my furnishings, as opposed to an item on its own.

So, when and where do you add the rest of the lemon zest and parsley? It doesn't say!

As long as there are no Bedbug Gifts With Purchase! Heh. jk

I'd suggest playing up the green if it's as nice as the jpeg makes it appear (a turquoise-y/minty shade always seems watery and fresh) and use it the accent color. I understand feeling like the toi...

I wonder if the popularity of DWR and similar catalog/internet sales-driven furniture stores took a hefty chunk out of their clientele? What clientele wasn't annoyed and rebuffed by the apparently...

I found the Shade Store online after seeing an ad in the back of a magazine. They were great, and produced the exact look I was looking for, in just a week, and ordering it through the site was ext...

I'm torn about Autobahn, even if I like their aesthetic: the King lamp they first showed at last year's ICFF is a near-complete knock-off of Jonathan Adler's lacquered Trousdale Lamp. ...
