Yum, provided it weighs under 4 lbs!

My mother gave me a recipe for no-roll pie crust which is effing awesome, easy, and appears to be impossible to screw up! Screw your rolling, I'll take my patted-out-with-fingertips crust.

My vote: go buy a canvas from an art supply store and DIY instead of paying someone else ungodly amounts of money to do it for you. I like textual artwork, just like it better when I don't pay som...

I have the bodum one and it's perfect. The one thing you do have to be careful about is when the little particles of tea get stuck in the holes of the diffuser. Takes some scrubbing but they do c...

Responding to akay: toaster ovens take up far more space than I have, being a (most likely permanent) apartment dweller. Plus I singed/charred my knuckles enough times on my ex's that I kind of ha...

Sorry, but this looks like $3. Might as well use pipe cleaners...

This is the most awesome thing I have ever seen! I freeze a lot of baked goods and have to remember to take them out soon enough to let them air-dry (so to speak), but sometimes I just don't have ...

Why is it rude exactly? It's not like the person's sitting there pissing in a corner and yelling at the other students. In fact, there's no interaction at all. I have never understood this. Peo...

Yum, sexist furniture. Woohoo reinforcement of gender stereotypes!

I think of it as "if you can't handle a pet on the furniture, you shouldn't have a pet". Like saying kids aren't allowed on the furniture (they're messy too) - it's kind of ridiculous.

I got a decent one at JC Penny about two years ago. But in future, you should probably qualify what "doesn't look like ass" means, since what looks like ass to me apparently appeals to some people...

My cat crawls under blankets. But then again, he's a hairless cat, so that's probably to be expected. Seems to love being under his blanket when it's in the 80s in the house (even better if he's ...

Where was this when I was a child?! My parent's dining table had metal trough-like things underneath that I used to roll marbles down, but this is clearly superior.

To Michelle of Montreal: I've used a non-silpat baking mat from target and it works great! Extremely easy to clean, everything comes off of it cleanly (I've literally never had anything stick to i...

And how exactly are these options eco-friendly or responsible in any way?? This whole post is disgustingly reminiscent of alarmist media sources that result in people yapping about epidemics and e...

It's off topic, but where did you get that headboard? It's gorgeous.

I'll take it, if you're not uber far away. I'm in western Massachusetts. How much do you want for it? I'm reachable at frecklestars at gmail dot com.
