I work at a company that says it's "Going green", but does nothing about, say, powering down the 30 computers in the work lab (or even the monitors!) at the end of the day (which comes at 3:00). I...

I have to agree with TravelingRae. Everyone I know with a pedestal sink has ugly boxes and dusty bottles and fusty shower caddies of crap, all out for everyone to see. Fine if you have cabinets; ...

How do you read while you're cooking? When I read I get so engrossed I'm usually done the book before I know it, and dinner would be burned if I cooked that way! Setting table and cle...

I love geneology. Forgive me for the pop culture reference, but I always thought it'd be really cool to have a family tree display like the one in Sirius Black's house in "Harry Potter" (a tapestr...

I know that my husband and I eat on only a little more than $30 a week, and we're in Central Maryland (I know food costs more in certain areas than others). If it helps any, here are some habits w...

Wow. My mom is a real estate agent (she helped us buy our house, so we definitely got a home inspection) and I've heard plenty of horror stories. Most of them, at this point, are funny: the pot-b...

Mvdiaz and whytephoenix, good points. I hadn't thought of what kids might stuff down the chutes. But, too - wouldn't your dinner get cold while you were preoccupied with the marbles? I'd to...

*don't bother diluting - sorry

I was using just vinegar, which worked pretty well. Don't both diluting it - the stuff you get in most grocery stores is already a 5% solution in water, and anything stronger is unnecessary for no...

I have this, too. When I put it on the wedding registry, I saw reviews where people complained that the shelves would fall off. If you don't leave the shelf hanging out of the cupboard it works j...

I have to agree with some of the above. I've managed to avoid most of the crap, although a spoon rest would be nice. I've always done iced tea with a jar in my sunny kitchen window. ...

Please be careful about this. I love this tip, as I usually don't wear jewelry I don't see. But my mom had some jewelry stolen recently, and the only reason all the jewelry wasn't stolen was beca...

I love doing sun tea, although you have to do it during the day. Put the desired amount of water in a clear jar or pitcher, put in the tea bag(s), cover, and set in the sun for a day. I usually d...

Paint. You could do just one wall, but that might make the others seem even more dingy or stark in comparison; perhaps use a jewel tone on one wall and a pastel on the other three. ...

For the most part, I agree with you. However, I do know that sometimes new software or hardware sometimes improves the security or function of the old. For example, I just upgraded my geneol...

I have an oily face and scalp, and have transitioned over the last year or two from every day to every four days. I haven't had a problem with smell, but do brush out my hair (briefly - only about...

What about plastic bins, like Rubbermaid?

My husband and I tasted wine in Napa Valley with appliances like those shown. Convenient for the store owner, who didn't have to really interact with us if he had another customer to ring up or so...

Is there someone at the Kitchn who can answer this dilemma? I have the same question as lurker2209, although I'd admittedly just wait until my cookies look done. But baking is more than just an a...

First and foremost would be my mother's recipe for seafood casserole, which is the main dish at Christmas, and includes shrimp, artichoke hearts, and crabmeat. She developed it herself and, I'm su...
