Usually the same crew comes over to my house whenever I have folks over. My best friend comes into the kitchen to gab and help out and everyone else hangs out in the livingroom. This is a perfect...
This sort of reminds me of a dinner party conversation that my friends and I frequently have.
Here's the question:
In other words, can you think of three foods - A, B, and C - s...
Oats are year round at my house, too. If I don't have them for a couple of days I start craving them. Mmmm. Though this morning I had a couple of slices of center cut bacon, an egg, and an engli...
I'm going camping tonight. Made homemade chex mix and some chocolate chip cookies. Bringing that along with a 12 pack of Samuel Adam's Octoberfest beer. Mmmmmm. :)
WhitinChi beat me to it. I love black bean omelettes. Black beans, some chopped tomatoes, maybe a wee bit of green pepper, and some good cheddar or monterey jack or queso fresco. YUM.
Trader Joes has a fire roasted corn that is delicious and I keep around.
I also keep broccoli and cauliflower sections in my freezer. I find myself using a handful here and a handful ...
I prefer uncased, usually. I hate the casing not being easily cut with my teeth when I bite into it and then being forced to eat a bigger bite of sausage than I really wanted to. Uncased doesn't ...
This is a really stunning bathroom. I love all elements of it and you've really made the most of such a small room! (Though being the worrier that I am, I'd worry about my necklace tree falling in...
Try whole oats for breakfast sometime. I always have oats for breakfast and then alternate between making steel cut and whole oat oatmeal. Whole oats cook up in basically the same time as steel c...
@Archie29: The microwave is your friend! Run the smelly sponge or cloth towel thing under some water to clean it out and then stick it in your microwave for a little bit and it'll kill off the bac...
I almost always (if by 'almost always' I mean always except when people are over) I eat on my couch using my coffee table as the table. I don't have a proper dining room and my table is used most ...
I loooove kung pao chicken and make it fairly regularly. The recipe that I use involves adding corn starch to the mix of liquids that you pour in at the end of the cooking process (well, once ever...
I use something sort of like this that I got from Target. They're basically very thin sponges, but in a 5x7 rectangle, so they act more like cloth. I use them to clean up spills and wipe things d...
I think that today I'm going to attempt grilled pizza. Whether it's grilled indoors or out is something to be determined by how lazy I feel when the time comes.
Do you think it would work well with a grill pan, too? That's the only cast iron pan I've got. (I worry that because there are fewer points of contact with the dough, that it won't cook as well...)
I had friends over for dinner last night. On the menu was:
Salmon with a maple teryaki glaze
Roasted asparagus
Forbidden rice
Raspberry almond yogurt cake
Frie...
I'm thumbing my nose at the gazillion degree weather we've still got here in the desert southwest and am going to make a bit pot of tortilla soup.
There will probably also be the drink...

Oh my god that's stunning! Congratulations on creating both a usable *and* beautiful addition to your kitchen!

Ginger scones slathered with raspberry jam is one of my very favorite things in the world.

It does look comfortable, though my attention is drawn to that strange chair sculpture (?) in that first picture.
