Wow, I haven't had any serious disasters like these...but definitely some near disasters, like the time the dog grabbed the corner of a grilled pizza sitting on the counter and started pulling. We...

I sometimes let the dog have them. He loves PR (licks up any accidentally sprinkled on the floor during the grating) and i figure they are reasonable things for him to chew on, good for his teeth,...

Blowfish. I ate this in China because I didn't want to offend the Chinese customers who served it to us. However, had I known the exact way it can kill you (by paralysis and asphyxiation, while y...

The only thing on this list I'd actually worry about is bedbugs. Bedbugs don't f*ck around.

A sandwich from Collegetown Bagels, in Ithaca, NY. Hummus on a cheddar bagel with tomatoes, lettuce, and sprouts. It was something I ate in college when I needed a pick me up. Also, their hot ci...

Was anyone else irritated by the notion that Cookie was a good replacement for Domino? None of my friends who got Domino have kids. We are all married, child-free, urban professionals. Maybe if ...

@Niamh: Anyone with a Wegman's is spoiled by definition! =)

I would definitely try to cut rolled out pasta dough into noodles with this thing!

and oh, yes, I would very much NOT recommend DIY with Richlite...there are actually like two certified installers in my state and even one of those guys screwed up the installation the first time (...

I have Richlite (Sage color) in my kitchen and do love it. I do have to oil it a bit more often than I would like, especially around the sink area. But after applying mineral oil, it always looks...

I think by "marshmallow" they are referring to ordinary mini marshmallows (which is what the traditional recipe uses). Fluff seems too sweet to use as the main binder, and will also not set up pro...

Sigh, I loved Ione Skye's house. I miss Domino so much already!

I'd consider hanging hospital curtain track on the ceiling, the full length of that wall, and hanging very long curtain from it via bead chains and clips. That way, you can pretty much make the cu...

I would suggest looking at FLOR tiles. I made a 12 x 6 rug for my living room with them (cutting some in half to form a border, mitered at the corners) at a total cost of

I use half and half to get the oils from hot peppers off of my hands after handling them. I just put some in a small prep bowl, bring it to the sink, rub it all over my fingers, then rinse my hand...

Ringling Brothers is NOT a legacy to be proud of. I think it's fine for us to bring that up in this forum, since in the Examiner article, Ms. North talks about how great the circus and its employe...

These are a nice idea, but as another commenter stated, they don't throw any heat at all. But they certainly aren't creepy-chemically like Duraflame, and they may be a good firestarter for firepla...

These signs are both tacky. If you can't deal with a little sweeping and vacuuming after a party, you shouldn't be having a party. That said, when it is excessively muddy or slushy ou...

I've used Benjamin Moore Eco-Spec and Aura, both in pretty deep tones. Good experiences with both. Eco-Spec (which I imagine they are phasing out with this new line) is very un-smelly...

I've been wondering for some time if "Bags on Board" are too good to be true because they feel just like plastic but claim to be biodegradable. It turns out they are plastic with additives to make...
