I'm not growing anything, but I AM trying to figure out how to make the buttery crackers that are the most delicious thing ever that I grew up eating at my dad's country club in Atlanta.

I realize this is slightly off topic, but as a kid we took a lot of road trips - my mother, grandmother and me. My grandmother always packed for me "bread and butter sandwiches" which were exactly...

When in Florence, try finding a place that serves lunch standing up, because that's how Florentines will do it (to save the coperto, the charge that's like a gratuity). There used to be one called...

I've always loved old street signs. great idea. http://www.margincomments.blogspot.com

this looks like the English pub classic meal, ploughman's lunch, made into a sandwich. good stuff. For sure the key is good cheese.

I wish we'd had codes like that! Good stuff. Gonna use it.

I agree with tasteduds. my first thought was smashed pavlova! but, it's easier to make and to buy (cheating, i know) little meringues than making a pavlova-ish one. i thi...

Bastards! How could they? But seriously, I had no idea about this threadcount fraud! It explains so much. http://www.margincomm...

I like how many people keep tea in their drawer. Me too. Sometimes I've got those Biscoff individually wrapped cookies in there, or raisins, or possibly crackers. Often I...

Growing up in Atlanta, we could only get Vidalia's about once a year. So you'd have to find good ways to store them so that they lasted a long time. I remember one method my mother tried was hang...

In Atlanta the "vegetable man" off of Roswell Road near Wieuca sells shelled peas in the summer. He has Lady Peas and Crowder Peas, and sometimes Lima Beans. The Lady Peas sound very close to what...

G and T was my grandmother's drink. It was also the first mixed drink I ever ordered (I won't mention how young I was!) I remember when I was in 2nd grade my mother, grandmother, an...

very fun. I'd like to have one! http://www.margincomments.blogspot.com

I'm a good ole "Joy of Cooking" kind of gal.

love the similarities btw the comal and the southern US cast iron skillet as the "do everything" pan once it's been properly seasoned.

nice Fight Club reference. I don't have any mushroom experts in my friend group. Or facebook friend group. At least not to my knowledge. I'm afraid I'd poison myself. How do I cult...

love the furniture with the maps! so cool. http://www.margincomments.blogspot.com

it seems like it moves pretty slowly. how does it's cleaning time compare to a roomba? is it a vaccuum or like a scooba? http://www.m...

We kept a can of bacon grease inside a decorative stoneware container with a lid. On the counter. Never refridgerated. I think all the preservative nitrates that went into the curing of the baco...

I like round scones. It's not so much the roundness, as I know when they are round, they are the kind of scones I like. I think of triangular scones as very "American" scones - too sweet and the ...
