My knitting group recommended the Diva Cup to me about a year ago, and I couldn't be happier. We're all ridiculously enthusiastic about our cups in my knitting group. :)

My mother makes a fantastic Chicken Marbella (from the Silver Palette Cookbook - link to recipe here ) ...

My fridge happens to be fairly short as refrigerators go (probably about 5' 4" since I can see the dust collect on top) so when I'm cooking from an online recipe, the laptop sits up there, WAY out ...

I've been using mine for a little laptop desk - the little flip-up leaves are great for peripherals I don't use all the time, or when I need a writing surface. (just have to figure out a nicer wir...

The map I love best has got to be the Nolli Map of Rome. It was originally drafted in the series of sheets...

GAZPACHO. mmmm, I can't get enough of the stuff. I've got tomatoes on my counter now, waiting for me to go get cilantro and tomato juice.

During the drought back in the late 80s, I recall our neighbor parking his truck on his lawn and washing the car there with plain soap and water - seemed to do the trick and kept the grass a little...

That's the Farnsworth house out in Plano, IL. Well-worth the trip! It's such a gem!

Ahh, I love whiteprints. And how is it that every architecture firm that ever hand-drew things decided on the same lettering style? I swear I practiced those very letterforms over and over at my ...

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. Since I'm still working my way up to the major weights, I think a bench sturdy enough to hold sitting people will do the trick. And like Dave suggests, if I ...

I got a typewriter desk just like that for FREE in State College, PA. Hurrah for lucky Dumpster Diving finds!

I'm guessing it's corrosion from nails or screws that hold up the gypsum on your ceiling. (those fasteners are almost always 16" or 24" apart, along the joists of the floor above.) If you're on t...

I got a brand-spanking new iPod recently, and I've run into the problem of importing audiobooks. Has anyone dealt with this issue? Is there a piece of freeware or reasonably priced ...
