My husband has a fondness for hot buttered rum but I don't like rum at all, so I use a delicious German liquor called Apfelkorn that tastes just like boozy applejuice instead. Would work well in y...

boo for only being open to US residents :*(

We here in Canada had Thanksgiving last month. Our little family had a lovely dinner at home with turkey, my Nana's special stuffing, a huge tray of roasted veggies, homemade cranberry sauce, and s...

the best thing about living in Nanaimo is that you can buy these pretty much everywhere.. so I've actually never made them myself. :)

I desperately need a magnetic strip for the wall to hold my knives, a decent steel, and at least one more good knife though I'm not sure what size to get. I have a utility knife and a vegetable cle...

Dim Sum for my daughter's 15th birthday party and then *something* out of my new Julia Child cookbook on Sunday. (my husband swears that it's the best gift he's ever given me)

We have two little garbarators to feed at our house (guinea pigs), we peel everything that they'll eat, to give to them just so they stop squealing at us everytime we walk by my daughter's room!

I've only ever roasted them when they're cut up, which they do lovely

People consider this a "mystery food"? How weird.. (at least from my perspective). I put them in stew or in my combination of veggies for roasting (with whole cloves of peeled garlic, carrots, cube...

I think that I need to do this for my winter cooking! I don't drink red wines at all, but I do cook with them a lot. A case of wine for making beef bourguinon (with a few bottles of Liebfraumilch ...

The faucet at my house is totally my nemesis! It's the two-knob kind and traps a lot of water behind it when the kids wash the dishes every night. I think I just might have to price out a new one s...

@Corby As a non-vegetarian I don't have to do any "mental gymnastics" to justify my omnivore actions either. I am, however, confused as to why it seems to be implied in your comment that peop...

I'd love to learn how to do this! But I don't see it as "entertainment".. it's a practical skill. I think it's good though for people to know where their food comes from, I'm even hoping to take my...

Easy pickled eggs, just add a few peeled hard boiled eggs and voila! (after a few days of course) So good with cheese and crackers.

"our heart raced" is preposterous? I had this great Hallowe'eny image of some sort of co-joined monsters tiptoeing around the house! Very scary.

The man has nipples too.. just neither of them have genitalia.. so? I think they're kinda neat, but I have no idea where you could put them so that they'd look like they fit..

I'm not sure if this is something I just don't *get* but here goes.. this fabric looks odd to me.. maybe it's just because it's on a chair but to me it just looks weird. And why's the fabric upsid...

they just keep saying "uncircumcised" to me (not that I have an issue with that, just that's not what I want my lamps to say to me)

@ rockerdelight Many exotic snakes aren't harmful and some types of scorpions are no more venomous than a bee or a wasp. The only type of snake that you identified in your post, pytho...

I think that Janel's concern might be painting over the particle board with fake wood finish more than anything.. (though that could just be my take as I have a dresser that I hate th...
