LOVE scrambled eggs, hate omlettes. Hence, soft, fluffy, milky eggs are key. I can't stand that leathery bottom on omlettes. Pretty much cook mine the same way, but always use a little milk to ge...

I have been wanting a dress form for about 2 years now! Looking for the right one for scarves, necklaces, etc. Love it.

Definitely grate the ginger instead of mincing - and graters come in all sizes and widths, so you can pretty close to minced ginger. Coming from an Indian family that cooks Indian food most night,...

You don't have to store ghee in the fridge. My family is of Indian origin, and we make this stuff at home (by melting/clarifying butter for hours, and then waiting for it to harden) and we store i...

Wow is this really LA? It looks like SF! Great place/neighborhood.

Was feeling sheepish thinking I didn't know how those magical free-standing tubs would drain. Now I realize the plumbing is not shown.

If it's in the lease that adding people costs $$, than yes, what they are doing is legal. If not, contact your local housing authority. Landlords always get freaked out when the housing authority...

VENICE! Definitely Venice. Born in LA, I moved to NYC after college and fell in love with the city. I forced myself to move back to LA to give it a chance, since my parents are still out here. A...

Any thoughts on the best way to string a few of these together vertically? I just hate those Ikea light wires - they are so fat and unruly, and I'm not sure what the best way is to light multiple ...

It's actually by artist Jay Kelly, and was the visual he designed for the 2008 AK Street Festival this year, on Sept 28, 2008. I only know because I bought a poster print and have been meaning to ...

I think I prefer the look of slanted, but often that method covers up the majority of the headboard which may be worth displaying.

I live in Venice, and I fear my desire for a safe neighborhood will be at the cost of culture-numbing gentrification. I personally hope there can be a balance!

Ikea makes a pretty similar chair in a basic beech wood that you could paint yourself. A cheaper, DIY alternative to the DWR option...

I actually enjoy the idea of a small tv in the bathroom to watch while enjoying a nice long bath. The coolest bathroom technology I've seen was at The Charles Hotel in Cambridge, MA, which had a h...

I loved this paint - it didn't even take a full 2 coats and no primer. Low paint "emissions", blends into itself so you don't without having to worry about splotches, and dries fast. I bought tw...

I love my Hopen bed too! I had to settle for a Ramberg a few beds ago as my tiny room in NYC had no room for the Hopen. Since then, I have had a Hopen in NYC and one here in LA. There is just so...

I went out and bought the wall-art last night and love it! I got one of the bird one, and two with the petal design. The gold is a great accent color.

I used the Benjamin Moore ones while living in NYC, and they work great. I also highly recommend the Aura paint - so easy to DIY, and it blends into itself so you don't have to worry about paintin...

Biked down to the Santa Monica Farmer's Market on Sunday morning, and enjoyed crepes and a string quartet in perfect California weather. But the best part was the free valet bike parking!
