bowsandbeaus, my name is also Kristin and I've always thought that it WAS one of the standard, classic names! I have NEVER heard of it being a blond, cheerleader stereotype and growing up, it was u...

I had a butternut squash with sprouts inside of it once, and we ate it, and it was fine. Not the best one ever, but not bitter or terrible at all. I was disappointed because I love to roast the see...

I had absolutely nothing in my fridge that I could bring to work for lunch today because it's all Thanksgiving stuff - so I brought a container of froot loops, two clementines, yogurt, and a hard-b...

baked apples or pears with cinnamon and a few nuts and/or cranberries - no sugar needed!

I can't recommend cast aluminum enough! It is SO much lighter than cast iron. I don't have any enameled (don't know if it exists) but I have a Berndes cast aluminum Dutch oven that I adore.

PBJ. sometimes on toasted english muffin, sometimes on toasted waffles, sometimes just on oatmeal-ish type bread. with homemade strawberry jam that I made when it was strawberry season!

This is one of those posts that really shouldn't use "we" so much.

I also have a strawberry huller.

nenasadije... we have Florida strawberries in the grocery stores in GA now... (but I went and picked 25 lbs. last weekend so I'm not buying grocery store ones) so how are they not in season in FL?

seems kind of wasteful to have two cakes, because every time I've seen a groom's cake, it's been crazily elaborate, AND the wedding cake has been equally expensive-looking. but then again, what are...

Something with a runny fried egg... either leftover grain (couscous, maybe even rice, or my current favorite, Trader Joe's harvest grains mix with the baby chickpeas in it) or spinach. Last resort...

I have the large Ona and never use it - it's a pain to clean. I imagine especially difficult if you have fruit in it, as shown. I also bet the small one is even more of a pain to clean.

Craig Claiborne's Kitchen Primer. I picked it up at a used book sale years ago and read it cover-to-cover, and I go back to it when I have questions about just about anything. I can never remember ...

My family is coming to us for Easter weekend... we're making a ham, pierogies, salad with mache and homemade croutons, garlic green beans if I can talk my husband out of making green bean casserole...

@Kathryn - two tiles will give you 12 x 24, not 24 x 24 :) You'd need four tiles to give you 24 x 24.

I usually roast my own - because it's easy, so why buy the canned stuff? Get a small pumpkin ("sugar" or "pie" pumpkin), and either cut it in half and scoop out seeds and strings and bake at 375-4...

fewer. There ARE FEWER designers. Not there's less.

mschatelaine - if you already own a big fridge (which Americans, of course, do) it's actually MORE energy-efficient to fill it up with stuff. to make your fridge more efficient if it's empty...

water chestnuts and macintosh apples - not together, but they have almost identical textures. really rich ice cream. over easy fried eggs. risotto. not-too-cripsy bacon wit...

Is the question asking about picture rails, not picture ledges? Picture rails are the moulding that's up high on the wall - you use hooks and wire to hang art (etc.) from the moulding so you don't...
