Another vote for growing herbs indoors!

I got the pink one as a gift and it brings a smile to my face every time I look at it!

I'm with R_Claw... better knife skills. I've never understood how experienced chefs manage to chop fiddly things like onions so quickly and accurately.

These are a breeze to make and so delicious... I first tried them last month and have probably made the recipe 3 or 4 times since.

Just made these this weekend for a dinner party. Like walkneverending, I found that one batch of dough did about 30 olives; less than half a jar. (I quickly whipped up another batch of dough becaus...

During the pre-Christmas baking season, I called my mum for help with pie crust, too.

I've found them to be pretty useless, too. I had both regular and heart-shaped ones, and they all were more trouble than they were worth. I wound up giving them away.

My husband follows Alton Brown's "no unitaskers" credo, but hey, you can't look a gift garlic press in the mouth!

My sisters-in-law and I all have heavy, cast-iron plasma-coated saute pans that our mother-in-law gave us as shower gifts - and they are AMAZING. Nothing sticks to them, but they're not "non-stick"...

I agree with Faith - the tartness of fresh cranberries is perfect in a rich pound cake. My mum makes one with cream cheese, pecans, and cranberries, and it's to die for. It's a wonderful fall treat...

I've made the Taylor's Roasted Potato Tacos with Creamy Dressing recipe since it was posted a few months back. Absolutely delicious and so easy.

@teacupnosaucer - cherry almond nanaimo bars are to die for! You can find lots of variations of the recipe on the internet. One caveat - Nanaimo bars have to be made with butter, NEVER margarine.

I second the motion for Dolce Amore on Commercial, and for Lonsdale Quay on the North Shore. As for coffee, I'm no connoisseur, but I love JJ Bean!

I made this soup last night, and man, was it ever delicious. VERY easy, VERY hearty, and I'll definitely be making it again. I'm beef-averse, so I used chicken broth instead, and it was a fine subs...

Like the others said - much as they look handy and easy to use, I wouldn't buy them because you'd never be able to get them clean. Yikes!
