I actually get internally cranky (my guests never see it) but that is why I prefer having dinner mostly done (things in the oven staying warm) when people are due to arrive. My brain can't concentr...

I wonder which of these would be great for a open house, if any? I like them all!

Risotto. I want that Martha Stewart recipe I saw one time where she started it on the stove and finished it in the oven. I can't find it anywhere. And I was going to say poached eggs, but now I've...

Where do you get the replacement bulbs for these lamps and what are they?

After years of sharing a 1bdrm apartment with my fiance who worked from home, where the real bedroom was the office and the living room was our bedroom, living room, dining room, tv room; we vowed...

Recently stocked up on dried mushrooms of all varieties. I can't wait till the weather turns gray and I can pull them out for stews , risotto, and pasta! Oh yeah, have different vinegars, spices ga...

Corn mixed with anything. Straight corn on the cob, that's it. Also, tomatoes in soup, where they are the main thing or even a side notes, can't do it ever, I don't know if it's the acidity, but I ...
