I read once on apartmenttherapy about cleaning inside hard-to-reach bud vases or glass bottles with small necks by crushing egg shells and swishing them with some soapy water. It really works!

Oh! I have that exact tiny dishrack. I got it at Bed Bath & Beyond about 5 years ago. Not sure if they still have it. I will say that I love it and have never found another quite so small as to fit...

How timely! Over the weekend I finally was able to hang a custom mirror I had made. It was much heavier than I thought it would be, but little old me managed to get that 30 lb. mirror hung on Frida...

I agree adamwa! Trying to save that best thing for last just ensures that I'll never get to have it at all. Someone is sure to swipe it from me by then. You gotta get while the gettin's good! Siez...

A friend of mine just blogged about making homemade pudding and how easy it really is! I can vouch that it was certainly delicious since I got to sample one of the extras!

I'm searching for a tray to corral my dish soap and lotion bottle near the kitchen sink, but I need something very thin to fit. The space next to the sink is only about the width of the bottles- ma...

Fantastic idea. So now, where do I get one of those great rolls of brown butcher paper? I feel like I would use it for everything if I could just get my hands on some...

RASPBERRY. I love the CRUNCH of the seeds!

Dear Lord! The LAST thing I want to eat when I'm sick to my stomach and flu-ish is indian food. YIKES.

Yes! stolichnaya, I always use that Martha recipe with the peas and zucchini! It always turns out well, and although she calls it a "spring" risotto, I think it's all-season! I always throw in twic...

raven- I love your food rules #1 and #4! I'm very curious to know what the two in between are... Will you share? I think I want to adopt them too.

Yes! I starting getting a hankering for whale prints after someone sponsored a whale for me as a gift a couple years ago. I love those pillows.

How spoiled would I be with a Dyson??! I drool over this machine, and yet it seems so far out of my budget to actually own one. Here's throwing my hat in the ring...

I am terrified of the broiler. Mine is a scary drawer-looking thing underneath the oven. It has strange racks and pieces that I don't know how to operate. The last thing I want is to burn down my a...

I just bought some cherries (conventional cherries) for $2.99/lb on Sunday at Whole Foods which is cheaper than the $3.99-$5.99 per lb I've been seeing at Fairway recently. I try to only buy their ...

Yes. I very rarely use my corded landline phone, but I wouldn't dream of getting rid of it. For landlines, a corded phone doesn't drain power like a cordless phone would that is constantly charging...

I like a loud fan, as long as it's not a rattle. I use a fan for the white noise to fall asleep and keep me asleep in my noisy neighborhood. It has to be loud enough to drown out those garbage truc...

We always looked forward to foil dinners at the campsite! Just lay out a couple sheets of aluminum foil, fill with whatever you like- we usually did chunks of beef, carrots, some onions, celery, sa...

Yes Joan in SB! I have been hinting hard every time a tea-topic comes up. Seems to me, there is plenty of interest and topics for a bona-fide tea week :)

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the post a week or so ago about how to tell if the eggs that have been sitting in my fridge are still edible. Sometimes I have them in there for quite some time. ...
