It's classic Tex-Mex to put a dollop of guacamole, a dollop of sour cream, a handful of onions, a dollop of refritos, and some ground sausage, then smother the whole business with queso.

Lovely house, seriously snooty comments.

That oilcloth stuff is bulletproof - we use it to make placemats at our house, they last for years and years. If you are planning to sew (piping usually requires it) make sure to get a...

The lucite shelves in the kitchen are fantastic. Bed on the floor, not so much.

I tried this with a turkey baster and it was a disaster (that's how my Dad does it, though) I think mine didn't work because I make whole wheat pancakes from scratch, which makes the batter much t...

This is silly. DH is a really big guy - 6'6" with a large frame - and we don't have trouble finding furniture he fits in in any furniture store in town. This is a pretty cheap marketing ploy.

Are we saying that farmers have to charge $7.50 per dozen eggs in order to make a livable wage? >> No, but there is a cost to providing the chickens with a healthier diet and environme...

My kids would destroy that willow tunnel in 5 minutes. But it is lovely! All kids need is a little space and imagination. Perhaps a ball. Bubbles. Sticks. Bugs. Better yet...mud.

They're not very energy efficient for the reason bepsf mentioned. And really not suitable for a temperate climate...I live in state where you don't turn on the oven for 6 months, so these wouldn't...

My kids love our tuna pasta recipe, which is the go-to summer dinner for us. Flake 2 cans of Italian olive-oil packed tuna into a bowl, add a drained can of cannellinis, half a jar of drained cape...

We've got a similar house and have different flooring in different rooms - it helps define the spaces and the flooring reflects the use of the room. In our TV room it's super-soft carp...

One more vote for the concept II. We put 2 in our last house, and 3 in our current house. If you have a white ceiling, it really disappears in the room. But oh, the hurricane it can produce!

I did a really easy weeknight ragout last night - turkey sausage, canellini beans, spinach, basil, oregano, onion/garlic, chicken stock, a couple of handfuls of pasta. Loverly.

I had these and hated them. Hard to pop out, but they pop back flat when you try to close them. They're just not worth it...

You can also send cookies to the troops, which we did this year. Nice idea.

Gorgeous, but it seems a little impractical, mainly the sink area. There's too much sink in that sink!

She's out of touch, but not completely wrong. I agree with the sentiment that you have to adjust this to your reality. Same with Michael Pollan...it's all well and good to espouse these things, b...

Sanctimony is not attractive.

I read the article, it's his boyfriends' apartment.

We put in stainless in our last house and LOVED them. Once you scratch them up a bit they have a really nice look and talk about indestructable. With the marine edge, spills never went on the flo...
