I also use fitted sheets for this! Bedskirts have always annoyed me and I love how clean and neat a fitted sheet looks.

That zinc table is $999! Wow. I guess I don't shop much for outdoor tables, but that seems excessive.

I find the TJ's brand to be strangely sweet. I tried to like it, but failed again and again. However, I LOVE the multigrain pasta with flax (mentioned by PNWGal). I was so sad when th...

Be AGGRESSIVE at the first sign of trouble. The time between finding the first poop and dealing with a full-blown infestation is short. I tried 3 types of humane traps before resorting to kill traps.

I would imagine that the light colored roof also keeps the interior of the home much cooler.

Only if they're soy and with an appealing fragrance. I cringe at the thought of burning petroleum-based wax with cheap, synthetic fragrance in an enclosed space. Indoor air pollution at its worst. ...

I think that talking to the lonely, crazy squirrel lady will yield little result. I would concentrate on anti-squirrel measures like putting down hardware cloth/chicken wire in your beds and pots t...

The linked tutorial is gone. Apparently, the author took it down due to remarks about safety in the comments section. I'll refrain from making a comment about that... Thanks for gettin...

2nding the spray can of heavy gas. It takes a small amount to seal the wine off and I like it much better than the pumps. Also 2nding freezing wine. I keep 3 ziplocks in the freezer -...

new knobs!

I love Fine Cooking. It's pricey - but no ads. I also love their inclusion of food/cooking science items (like why a bean won't soften when it's cooked with acids). Also check...

I don't mind eating in the car. However, I will think twice before hauling large amounts of food. Friends who cater or have restaurants have the worst car food stories. Catering pans ...
