Me please :)

Tomato paste and pesto paste...pretty standard, but this new brand (which I can't for the life of me remember right now), is actually quite good! I find myself adding it to all sorts of things sin...

Why have my herbs wilted away, even though they've been watered and placed in a full-sun spot (just like their tags say)? Do they need bigger pots? Some kind of fertilizer? If so what?

My moment was very similar to the browned chicken moment. It was when I perfected fried potatoes/ hashbrowns. My dad is a master, and I've always wanted to replicate them, but would either burn t...

Having a little party tonight and making homemade pizzas (better get going on that dough!). Came by the Kitchn to look for some quick and easy veggie sides that you don't need to be sitting down t...

Thanks Alana! I'm getting things ready right, now, and have a LONG way to go, but it's a good feeling knowing that I'm going to be proud to show off my home, and not embarrassed... I ...

As much as I'd L-O-V-E a blogger from the 'Lou, I really agree that the AT coverage (Midwest and Beyond), is lacking some serious representation from both the South AND Canada. We have SOOO many r...

I agree, a good sauce-covering thread would be nice! That is a skill I could definitely use...especially since I so proudly diced my first onion (properly, that is), on Monday when I made risotto....

I second all of the above questions on herbs. I planted my first pots last weekend, after leaving the seedlings inside for a bit too long, and I'm hoping they bounce back. But I don't know when, ...

I made plans with a few friends to come over Sat. night for homemade pizza and drinks, so even though I haven't done too much official "curing", I'm motivated to wrap up some odds and ends and get ...

Hahaha! I didn't really fully cure my apartment this time around either, but I've been making slow but steady progress on the black hole that was my bedroom closet for the past two months. Last co...

I'm feeling like a total slacker!!! But I didn't have quite the huge mess of problems like I had back in the fall. I suppose that's the point...that it DOES get better with time. I also fell shor...

Busy weekend here (wedding today, party tomorrow), but I managed to throw together the dough for another batch of no-knead bread last night before going out. It's in the oven right now! That migh...

Amazing! Love it, especially how all of the different woods seem to just blend together in perfect harmony! Great work!

Haha, thanks for the shot of my bread, too! It's encouraged me to keep the tradition going, and I'm planning on starting another loaf on Saturday morning!

I don't think it's snooty to show people how to hold the glass correctly...It's one of those pet peeves of mine, for sure, but in all honesty- if people hold it by the stem rather than the bowl, th...

I'm planning on a few containers of herbs, and want to try alfalfa sprouts but haven't had luck finding the seeds around town.

I had a busy but pleasant weekend in the kitchen baking my first no-knead bread AND roasting a chicken. I started the bread on Saturday morning, we roasted the chicken Sat. night, and I finished b...

I did it! I finally made the no-knead bread and it turned out pretty darn good for my first-ever bread baking endeavour. I'll post some photos to flickr tonight. We brought it over to my parents ...

I was entirely exhausted from yesterday's festivities (and they did drag on into the wee hours of today...), and after throwing together the dough for some no-knead bread, drinking two cups of coff...
