California Pizza Kitchen used to do an excellent version of Potato Leek Soup. I used to have a recipe for it (from online) and it required some thyme and even some soy sauce to give it a savory de...

Geez, I've needed this! I have tried other doorstops - too small, too bulky, just plain ugly - this looks like a beautiful, easy-to-store solution.

You know, make it a theme wedding - High school prom! You can send out cute invites with this theme and decorate the place with streamers, balloon and flowers (purple, if the fiance insists). Go w...

Ideally, you can plan the holiday menu with plans for tasty leftovers. Sausage stuffing goes to stuff mushrooms later, sauteed carrots and mushrooms go into the soup pot with the turkey carcass an...

I confess, my family regularly goes to Black Friday sales! Why? Every one of you state excellent reasons for not going, but for us (sisters, sister-in-law and cousin-in-law), it is a time to hang...

Seriously beautiful interiors that I want to live in...

While the clock statement is not grammatically correct, I think many of you are wise enough to know that it was meant to convey the sense of casualness and resignation a person would feel with them...

I was a little ill thinking about how many eggs Padma and Nigella had to eat for the breakfast challenge. I like eggs, but it still seemed like too much...

Are the baking times the same if the crust is room temp and the filling is frozen?

I must be a bad mom or something, but until this summer I did not know that carrots were my kids' favorite vegetable. We ate at a restaurant in Nevada City CA (Izzy's) and they served sauteed carr...

I'm with the other posters - give little fun toy-type treats instead; Target usually has a ton of that stuff. Goldfish crackers are great - I put them in my kid's lunch box as treat. The fruit le...

Hy husband and I were laughing at Robin's tendency to TALK TOO MUCH. We thought about the poor camera people who had to do the interview her - and just can't get her to stop. Also the editors hav...

ratita, while your grammatical corrections are correct, it seems out of place in a blog about food. If you feel the need to discuss proper sentence phrasing, perhaps you should find a site related...

Scallops, yuzu, halibut, ceviche - I think Top Chef needs to restrict the use of these ingredients or recipes, to something like only once in the season for each chef. It is tiring to see three or...

I use Calrose type rice, but have use others and yes, I wash rice. While U.S. rice is relatively clean, I have always found some rice hulls and a few pebbles in each bag - so, always good to pick ...

This is a hilarious post! I am staying away from eggs, microwaves, glass/pyrex containers, and any liquid form of sugar...

Yes, I keep having trouble with bell peppers in containers, but the jalapenos have done just fine and even survived an accidental lack of watering in a heat wave! I am sticking with ea...

Is anyone else getting tired of Eli proclaiming that he is the best chef there? I think not... Mattin might have be loved by his fellow chefs, but his food never appealed to me, or hi...

Really, don't you wish we could have charts like this for every industry? Maybe then we could figure out where the money and power is really going...

Why? Well, because it is Fun and Silly and Ridiculous - things that people need a little bit of in everyday life.
