We recently were gifted the Chemex coffee maker - wow. I have entirely replaced my regular coffee maker. The Chemex is beautiful, easy, and you can make coffee ahead of time that is just as delic...

is it just me or... how do I buy anything from this site? i consider myself computer savvy, yet i can't use this website...

Tyler Florence has a great BBQ Ribs recipe. The sauce has some peach or apricot jam in it, but I think substituting the peach jalapeno would be delicious! (I make the exact recipe f...

@williamsweyr - where is your house? i am looking!

so the clementine cake sounds wonderful, and something that i would like to give out as treats, but the link to the actual recipe is not working... help!

I have always gotten them at Michael's

Santa - I have been very good this year, and above, you will find the ONLY thing that I want.

We use a Erlenmeyer Flask - it's modern, super cheap, we throw it in the dishwasher and it's not something that breaks easily.

I do this horribly dangerous thing that involves smacking the blade of my chef's knife against the edge to get a little bite and open the lid just enough to break the seal.

I have never ever understood watching a cooking show where someone uses Cool-whip, but maybe that's just me.

I did this a while ago, on accident, but I have never gone back. I don't use a container, I find that they just sort of nestle nicely so they are usually together anyways...

Again, I thought that it was comfortable to sleep on every night... but we did order a mattress pad to put on top.
