My mother uses her grandmother's Noritake china for special occasions. They were made in Japan before World War II and my grandfather got them when he served there in the Korean War. They're quite ...
I have never had a problem eating dessert after Thanksgiving dinner. In fact, I usually eat three pieces of pie (apple, pumpkin, and pecan). But they're small pieces!
You could always dry your dishes with a towel. I know that doesn't answer your question, but that's what we do when we've filled our dishrack and still have dishes to dry.
sayonara, I make a big pot of steel cut oats on Sunday and then reheat a single serving each day during the week. It keeps really well in the fridge and is very quick to reheat.
Yep, freeze it. Growing up, we froze all bread, store-bought and homemade. Although my boyfriend objects to frozen bread, I prefer it. He says he doesn't like that it always requires toasting, but ...
I loathe our kitchen floor. We live in a rental apartment that was very dirty when we moved in. We scrubbed everything, but the floor still doesn't look clean. I even got down with a Dobie and ammo...
Our kitten has a degenerative neurological condition and she has a hard time eating. She gets food and water EVERYWHERE. It's an impressive mess for such a tiny thing. We've completely given up wit...
We keep some under the sink in the kitchen and some under the sink in the bathroom. My parents kept most cleaning supplies on shelves above the washer and dryer in the laundry room, a set-up I pref...
That's adorable. It's probably a good thing my kitchen is light on storage or I'd totally have a bunch of novelty cake pans. The only problem is that the novelty wears off. They should have a renta...
We're actually pretty lucky. Our rental kitchen faucet does have two knobs, but it works quite well. It doesn't leak and we have a sprayer. My boyfriend especially likes it because it's not low-flow.
Oatmeal is also a year-round indulgence for me. As of late, I've been making that date cinnamon coconut pecan oatmeal you listed, which is absolutely divine.
Growing up, I was always taught that a meal must have a protein (typically meat), a starch, and a vegetable, so I always try to stick to that now. But the vegetable doesn't always have to be green.
That kitchen is absolutely gorgeous. I, too, have always dreamed of a library with a ladder like that, but when I first read about it in a kitchen, I thought it'd be annoying and in the way. But th...
Our kitchen is oddly arranged and has very little counterspace, so I have it segmented. Some counters, like the little one next to the stove, are just for storage. Others are for prep and storage. ...
I baked apple pie for Christmas last year and my bf's stepdad wondered where the cheese was. So we all tried it with cheese. It wasn't bad and I get the appeal, but I'll take my pie sans cheese, t...

My grandma introduced me to honey butter. She is not a gourmet like my Mom-Mom, but she gets the simple things perfect (like blackberry cobbler).

I made a pretty small pegboard (1' x 2') for my utsensils.
I love pumpernickel, and though I haven't made it, I did make Russian black bread, which is similar. Mmmm...

My parents always cook rice in water with bouillon. I use chicken broth now.

I use the ladle frequently, mostly for serving soup. I never use my whisk. A fork is almost always easier.
