I eat 'em, unless they're so bad I just can't. I'm pretty much exactly the same as you described - frugal and lazy. But would NEVER serve that sort of thing to guests.
I pretty much never drink alcohol - not because I have some bias against it, I just don't like most of it! The only ones I do like are froofy mixed drinks that don't taste like booze.

Haven't had any and don't expect to. With 3 cats and a dog roaming loose, anything that moves doesn't for very long!
We pretty much never see any living vermin. Occasionally we find ...
Avocado flavor is very mild and would definitely be overpowered by the sugar in the frosting. In fact, Alton Brown makes an avocado frosting using the avocado as the fat. I saw him do it in a dem...
I haven't tried that either, so can't really say if it's better. But taking the idea to DIY - I just took a long narrow plastic container (about 4" high, maybe 8" long, 3-4" wide) that fits perfect...
I've used all forms of vanilla and for most things, I prefer vanilla extra or the vanilla paste. The paste is great because you can sub it tsp for tsp for extract, you get the lovely seeds in ther...
I've been wanting a cake recipe like that for a while, too. Just recently I saw this one and have been wanting to try it. Seems like it fits the bill!
From Scratch Strawberry Cake -
Got the pots, pans and utensils all pruned and reorganized. Looking good! I had already finished the pantry but the fridge is a work in progress. Have now gotten the fridge part mostly pruned, and...
Went to a "White Trash" party one time and was given a name tag, with a "white trash" name. Everyone had them and it was a lot of fun joking around about who got what name, why, etc. That could b...
Lol! Everyone always talks about filling up empty space - I can't imagine having any! I'm always having to arrange and rearrange to get everything in there. I like to have things on hand, plus with...
I've made these! To make these even quicker and easier, try spreading chocolate on the base after it comes out of the oven, then flipping it over to add the topping (rather than dipping the bottoms...
Abigailbelle - I just saw your comment. That is funny, now that you mention it!!
But Cook's Illustrated really is that - it's often illustrated (drawings) instead of having photos. The...
This is a major pet peeve of mine at home. My boyfriend's son (a teenager) gets out a new cup every time he wants a drink all day. No matter how many times I've told him to use one cup all day, he ...
My freezer could never look like that.... because the ice cream would never last that long!! I love ice cream, so I totally understand all your containers, but mine never lasts very long 'cause I ...
I much prefer recipes with pictures, but I have used recipes that didn't have them - notably from Cook's Illustrated. I guess it somewhat depends on the source and how reliable it is. But the pictu...
I always thought I didn't like squash of any kind. Until I went to a Sur la Table cooking class and the chef made a gorgeous Italian tortellini soup with butternut squash in it. Brilliant! Turns ...
Two things - I'm having trouble even finding inexpensive cloth napkins. Target had about 2 colors, Wal-mart had literally one. World Market and Pier 1 have them, but they aren't really cheap. Any...

I've been wanting something like this for a long time, but recently saw this - what do you think of the Demy Recipe Reader?

Lol! Kestrel127 - I didn't notice that, but now that you've pointed it out..... ;)
It's definitely the best way to get it really clean - but my kitchen is way too big and I'm way too lazy to do the whole thing this way!
