Nice long neighborhood walk (after the rain finally stopped) and then last night rode our bikes to see the city fireworks!

I think this would only work if you have a straight, flat edge on your original countertop. Our formica has a curved edge with a bit of a lip to keep spills contained.

I am also blown away by the no-formica countertop mention. I would love to have marble in our kitchen, but since I don't plan on staying here for life, it makes no sense to have the fanciest count...

We don't have space to eat in our tiny kitchen, so we eat most meals at the dining room table. I would love a more intimate kitchen nook in our next house (there's just the 2 of us), but I hope th...

I haven't attempted one, but I've seen them in the Gardener's Supply catalog - here they are online...http://www.gardeners.com/Living%20Wall%20Outdoor%20Planter/NewOutdoorPlanters_Cat,37-001RS,defa...

Huge fan! If only her magazine didn't cost $10...

I've made naan at home (using my pizza stone) and have been very pleased with the results. However, a friend recently told me about the frozen naan sold at Trader Joe's (plain and garlic flavors) ...

White Flower Farm is an amazing east coast source (they're located in CT) for all sorts of plants, including succulents. http://www.white...

I like them all! :)

Another place to buy (at least in the midwest) is Gordon Food Service. (www.gfs.com) They have all sorts of affordable kitchen supplies, in addition to the giant cans of beans. As f...

I'm a culinary school grad and the iodine issue was never mentioned. I'm very sensitive to the metallic taste of too much baking powder in a baked good, but I've never detected the presence of iod...

Regarding the fine granulated (aka table) salt, why do you recommend avoiding the iodine? I was under the impression that salt was iodinized for a (good?) reason.

I cut and paste all online recipes (thankfully the majority of Gourmet and Bon Appetit are available on epicurious.com and I use Cooks Illust online, too) into a recipe program called Mastercook. ...

I recently bought a new SS oil can (from Crate & Barrel) to hold my olive oil. I like to look of glass cruets, but have read repeatedly that olive oils should not be exposed to light. Not a probl...

no way! I love mine and use it for reusable water bottles, like my Platypus, too.

Closed kitchens! My current kitchen has no ventilation to the outside and as a result, any smoke/grease/yuck just recirculates. Who wants that wafting into the next room? Plus by the time I'm fi...

I love it, but isn't that third door a fairy door - not a pet door? I'll admit I'm dimensionally challenged, but that seems pretty skinny for most dogs!

I have a chocolate chipper and I'm not sure where I bought it - possibly King Arthur Flour - but regardless, I'm not a fan. When I chop chocolate at home, it inevitably flies everywhere and cleanu...

I would love this! Our bedroom is freezing and if I get into bed after my husband has fallen asleep, my cold arm touching his is enough to jolt him awake. I think owning this heated mattress pad ...
