I spy some Jeni's ice cream in your freezer ... mmm!

Wow what a heated conversation! Growing up, we weren't allowed to eat Kraft cheese (nor were we allowed Wonderbread in the house - but that's another story). My best friend who lived next door al...

Oh wow, I thought my grandmother was the only one who used the FHB! We use it all the time in my family ... we even sometimes have to use it just for me ... birdie_dc Hold Back ... heh heh heh.

I was there a little over two years ago ... amazing market! I think I ate my weight in takoyaki. Here is a photo I took from the same market of some gorgeous pickled vegetables: ...

I made this last night and it was so amazing. I think next time I want to up the pepper a bit (I might have gone a bit crazy with the sea salt), and I did it with the lid off the whole time. I ba...

I love Jeni's - was there last Friday during a visit home and had a KILLER ice cream sundae - but Influenza Ice Cream? Couldn't she have named it something a little more ... healthy-sounding? I c...

I loved this episode - Carla can COOK. She's certainly peaking at the right time, that's for sure. And having Toby "Awful Eyewear" Young on the show made me appreciate Gail Simmons so much more. ...

Right after the show ended last night, I had two thoughts. I can cook a steak and salad just as well as Leah ... but why in the world is, like, she, like, on, like, the show, like, still? Every t...

I'm wondering if there are any trees that would do well without full sun (but fardaesm beat me to it!). I would love to have fresh fruit in the winter but we don't have southern exposure ...

I definitely agree with your point #1 - whyyyyyy oh why did we only get Martha for the first ten minutes?! She would have been such a fantastic judge, and would've offered more insight that Natash...

I have to have an apron on when I cook. It just doesn't feel like cooking without it - we must be on the same wavelength, Michelle of Montreal! The one I wear most frequently was given to me by m...

Maybe this is more of a "Good Question" than a comment, but I am thinking about getting a set of knives for The Boyfriend for Christmas. Should we start off with a santoku? Does anyone have any s...

I liked this episode a lot - it kind of showed Jamie's true colors, she is starting to get on my nerves with her attitude -- "I've done TV before, this is so easy" -- and then being a brat about it...

We don't have one either ... and I thought I was the only one out there who had to heat the oven to 200 every time I wanted a leftover ...

We are in the process of doing JUST THIS THING in our apartment. We didn't use spray mount adhesive precisely because of the fumes and toxicity. We got eight different pieces of foamboard as the ...

Forget Young! What would Neil DIAMOND do is the more important question!

When we finally got to get some Grown Up Furniture, we gave away our entire living room on Freecycle. I am a big believer in the idea that you shouldn't sell something you got for free/inherited, ...

If I'm peeling for a pie, I would definitely peel the apple first, then cut. It's too difficult to peel each slice! This happened last night when I threw together an apple/pear/quince crumble ......

Oh Eddie ... the Uggs ... I hope he's wearing them because he doesn't care if they get covered in green spraypaint ... ;)

I would have to say that if you have a choice, you should get the 12 cup KA FP. As others have noted, it has the smaller work bowl (4 cup) that you can definitely get a lot of use out of for small...
