This dish is also a staple Cantonese dish. In Cantonese home cooking, its usually a bit soupier...also, sometimes some ginger is thrown in before the tomatoes are added. Yum - just reminded me I ...

Aulaire - if shoes lined up in your ancient Japanese garden look so fantastic - are you saying that Asian people who live in modern apartment buildings are doing aesthetic no-no's when they take th...

It's not really wallpaper/contact paper - once it dries, it's completely like paint - so you can paint over it. It's more like a paint that goes on like wallpaper. And you can't see the seams eit...

While Aulaire does have a point - about neatness... At least for Asian & other folks who take off their shoes when they enter houses - a shoe storage solution next to the door makes a ...

I have a recipe from back of Bisquick for Chicken pot pie that is sooo easy, slightly unhealthy (it involves Campbells soup too) - but LOVED by everyone. Easy peasy.

Well - if I'm not mistaken from watching that show, it's based in the Bay Area, CA. Growing up in CA - they always tell you not to hang items - especially large and heavy items like mi...

I have read on other sites that talcum powder set down as a barrier works too. I have yet to try it, but my hopes are high. I think that the various solutions listed here may work for...

Wow! I live in NY - but originally am from San Jose. I am really surprised that 300 sq. foot studios actually exist in San Jose! When I was there, single family homes or condos were the norm.

I've used it too - here in NY. Agreed - it is *a lot* of work - and kind of pricey. It cost us about $750 for the sanded primer and enough plaster for 2 layers of the american clay.

Is it also used in stews, soups? It sounds good.

If you can find a foot switch at a hardware store, it's probably really simple to just splice the wire of the powerstrip and install it. People do it all the time with those thumb whee...

Although this may sound crazy - please don't over-react everyone! I had bedbugs about a year and a half ago - and it was horrible, demoralizing, frustrating, and paranoia-inducing. Once you ...
