I need to find a few more uses for my rice cooker. (3 cup, no steamer basket, fuzzy logic with settings for porridge and quick cooking.) I love the thing, but I don't feel like I'm getting enough u...

Well, I just like warm liquid jello (much more than I like it cold!). But the gelatin sort of coats your throat going down, and it feels nice. More effective than a cough drop, IMO.

Red velvet also makes good cake pops. Last year I shaped them into jumbo Hershey's kiss shapes, and dipped them in chocolate. Complete with aluminum foil wrapper and an 'eat me' tag in each one.

Lucky! I just scored a cast iron takoyaki pan today (for $10!), so this post was very timely. Thanks.

I do garlic the same way I would an onion. Slice down (but not through the root), slice horizontally, then across.

Not necessarily this month, but I really want to learn to cut ribs for kalbi. (Not flanken cut, but the other way. There is about 2" of bone at one end, and the meat is in a long, thin strip.)

But...but...the cherry Luden's are tasty. lol. Anyway, I never bother with cough drops, because yes, the 'medicated' types are nasty. If I have a sore throat I nuke some jello back int...

Snow ice cream, and whatever can be found in the house. We've got about 4" already, and it's still coming down.

This is exactly how I keep the recipes I find online. Though, it is really annoying that I can not for the life of me find dividers that stick out beyond the edges of my page protectors--so I just ...

I don't ever make pizza at home, it's just not something I'd bother with. That said, one of my favorites is Mellow Mushroom's 'coco'--hummus base with artichoke hearts, feta, onions, provolone and ...

Mmm, nabe. I've been meaning to try this with a deep-sided electric skillet, since I don't have a donabe or the tabletop cooking thingy. @Elsa: I think you could use it on the stovetop...

I wouldn't paint the cabinets white, myself. I think they would look nice with a darker stain or paint color, to go with the dark appliances and show off the lighter wall color and counter tops. (R...

Recently I've made a milky miso soup with kabocha... inspired by this post from Humble Bean.

If snow is forecast for you, you can always just set a bowl out and let the snow fall in--no worries about it being on the ground that way.

Put some of that jalapeno peach on cream cheese, maybe with some chopped nuts, and eat it as a dip with crackers.

Rice cooker! I mean, it plays twinkle twinkle, little star when you turn it on (if you want it to). The ice cream maker is always fun. And it's not finished yet, but my da...

Cooking with Dog, on Youtube, has a great video showing how to prepare sukiyaki too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVWPH0C_17c

I have a Japanese recipe book, from years ago, that includes a recipe for Strawberries in Bubbles of Snow (ichigo no awayuki-kan). It's a combination agar gelatin/meringue foam type thing with whol...

These are pretty, but I've come to love our upright spoon rest because it takes up less space.

It's 10 degrees outside right now, and I have peppermint ice cream chilling in the fridge, pre-churn. Hey, gotta do something with the leftover mini candy canes right?
