i use a french butter keep (butter bell) that i've made.
Changing the water every few days definitely helps keep things fresh, and i think that leaving much of the ceramic unglazed al...
At home - traffic, the occasional sirens, and people talking on the sidewalks below.
At work - wind rushing through huge pine trees, birds, crickets, loons, coyotes, mosquitoes, and th...
Might not be the right kind of groundcover for a porch or patio, but some friends of mine have a little lawn grown entirely of a low, creeping mint. It's AMAZING....it stays green even in really ba...
Slowdown has it nailed. Zarazame, many of us absolutely do not need bread, milk, and eggs every week.
In university, i kept my food budget to between $50 and $75 a month consistently, for al...

i grew up in a mennonite family, eating so many foods that my friends thought were weird. Among those foods? Plumamoos, a fruit soup made with canned or frozen fruits and sometimes dried fruits, se...
i contact-papered my fridge and stove in 'brushed aluminum', and have absolutely LOVED it. Corners are tricky with contact paper, as it doesn't like to bend around the sharper corners very well, bu...
i grew up with the butter sometimes out (fall, winter, spring), and sometimes in the fridge (summer). A few years ago when i started making ceramics, i got the hang of making butter bells, and hav...
