Yeah, the rhubarb dry soda is not tasty - it tastes like earth to me. I told someone that and they thought it was crazy until they tasted it :) But don't let that discourage you from trying the ot...

Thanks for this post! As someone who is a teetoller (sp?) I appreciate it greatly. Dry Soda (lavender and oddly, lemongrass) are incredibly delicious. I have an addiction to the laven...

I just went to visit (out of town) a good friend that had her first baby and is in crazy new mom not getting any sleep mode. I sent her via mail some nice tea, a barefoot contessa cupc...

I have a cup of sleepy time every night - perfect way to relax before bed. I also love the new sleepy time extra with valerian in it. Sleepy time is so much better than a lot of other copycat teas...

I love (and own) the Celadon pattern from Crate and Barrel. I love the subtle color, pattern, texture, and clean design.

I love love love love it! In my previous rental I McGuyvered a similar set up using the side of my refridgerator and small glass jars purchased from the container store. I glued magne...

DEFINITELY contact your friend immediately. If something happened to/with my darling little pug, I would come home right away and be very upset if I was not alerted immediately. Defini...

I cannot believe someone would pay $5,000.00 for this when we would make our own ghettofabulous "clouds" with a box fan and a sheet as kids (which I highly recommend). Just duct tape a large sheet...

dishtowels. I try to avoid paper towels whenever possible and have built up a little arsenal of dish and tea towels that I love and use all the time. Whether it is washing mushrooms with a damp to...

I think the key with Williams Sonoma is to go into the store and watch for sale items. If you rely on the catalog and the website, you will never find good deals. In general, the peopl...

I have a very very narrow utensil drawer and I found a very narrow but expandy untesnil organizer at Target that is wonderful. I tried to find it online to link, but could not :(

When I was in law school in Austin I studied at a coffee shop that appeared to be repurposed from a former gas station/garage. It had wonderful garage doors that would be pulled up in nice weather...

It's not clear if you have a shy person, negative person, difficult person, etc. If someone is shy do not pressure them, especially if you will see them regularly, it will maybe just m...

I don't think I realized immediately that there is a RING on the bottom of the plate. How would this work, you would have to hand out ring plates and then give people food to put on them?

I wish I had never seen this post...now I feel like I desperately need a glass teapot. sigh.

I have the red oster beehive and have had it for several years and love it. I love the thick glass of the pitcher (and have a general hatred for plastic pitchers). I had a roommate th...

I have the Kitchenaid pans rated highly by consumer reports (that may be what you have also) but I agree with cpa1 - CAST IRON ALL THE WAY! As someone with a horrible electric stove in...

I would just be careful not to give out "statement" food - something the kids won't eat, that gets thrown away, and ends up just being wasteful.

I have a friend that makes beautiful pottery she sometimes posts on etsy under fainting goat pottery. This is one of the pieces I have:
