I hate this tip. It's lauded everywhere from Sesame Street to crappy health magazines that urge you to "go green" in order to sell ads to pharmaceutical companies. The calculations are useful, bu...

Every time I think about getting married, I think about awful wedding food and decide I'll just live in sin a little longer. Maybe if I got a professional kitchen as an engagement ring ...

When I was renting a place in DC I got a pack of 5x5 origami paper from one of the now-defunct stores in (now-defunct) Chinatown and used double sided tape to make a color block grid on the wall of...

I see these types of things occasionally - how are they shelf stable? They're not rife with fat, sugar, or trans fats?

That photo is transcendent.

Pimento cheese always transports me to the memory of hiding in my great aunt's rose bush so that I didn't have to eat any more of it. As northern kids visiting southern relatives, this was not som...

I love the sticker idea!

I have a set of the wide bowls and they go in the micro all the time, without becoming killer. The tipping is a problem though. I love how they look and often use them even when I know I'm likely...

And only 6.95 a pound!

Just two weeks ago we bought some two year old cheddar from a guy at the public market who grumbled that he "only made 60 cents on that sale." His loss, our gain. We'd had old cheddar before, but...

I think we might try to grill a pizza for the first time. I've always been nervous about doing it on charcoal, but there's no way in hell I'm turning on the oven.

Yeah, when I worked at a florist washing out buckets, I'd come home every night with my hands looking pickled and raw. Whatever is in those buckets is NOT edible.

Closets: Necessary, but not a deal breaker. Lack of counter space in the kitchen: Seek counseling.

I've heard of some hippie-dippy food products, but this - NEVER EVER. Is there even enough market for something like this to justify bottling it? Was it selling briskly?

Vacuuming and drying the dishes by hand.

How can people drink unsweetened ice tea? When you chill tea, all of the perfume goes out of it, so it just tastes like bitter water. But when you sugar it, you can taste beyond the bitter.

Go to somebody else's house for dinner. A parent is particularly good for filling this role.

Also, if Pharrell sits in this, does that mean he's participating in the implied act? Imagine the "toys" that would be required!

This treads very close to what's covered in Feministing's coverage of furniture (and fixtures - the number of urinals that are shaped like a woman's ass are horrifying) that objectifies women.

Pretty much all of the bread in our house gets eaten on the first day, or frozen in whatever it came in (usually a paper sleeve). When you want to eat it, you nuke it for 20-30 seconds in the pape...
