Just sliced mango, chile, and lime juice. And gnawing on the seed is the best part!

We've been washing a lot of lettuce and beet tops and slicing bell peppers, eggplant, green onions, and carrots.

Nothing better than blueberry pie with homemade vanilla ice cream.

Lately I've been loving my chef's knife and bamboo cutting board. Chop, mince, dice, slice then whoosh! Into the pan!

I would totally take this camping! Imagine all the combinations you could do just by packing tomatoes, onions, cilantro, peppers, basil, and garlic! Salsa, sauces, pesto, gazpacho... fun!

I just saw basil plants at my Trader Joe's... but I haven't seen that trio or herbs!

I would totally grow shiso leaves in it... they're perfect for wrapping around rice or Korean bbq meat or, well, anything.

Well, I would put the base in the living room, add a speaker to the bedroom and office, and then take a couple outside to the patio (on nice sunny days). With music throughout the house, I'd be mo...

How do I know what's eating my veggie leaves so I can figure out the best way to get rid of them? Or, I guess, divert their attention?

I guess it depends on what you're "refreshing". I'm guessing it's not something launderable, or you would just clean it that way. If it's your car, I'd try using baking soda and a good vacuum to ...

Definitely the recipe for Black Russian cake my mom makes. It's a hit everywhere I've taken it.

Totally looking forward to grilled asparagus, roasted asparagus, asparagus and poached eggs...

Oh, please tell me those avocado pits aren't in the guacamole to "keep it from turning brown". Haven't we established that avocados turn brown when exposed to air and the pits aren't magically rel...

I've started making mashed potatoes with my ricer - smooth and creamy PLUS no peeling required! I also use more milk than butter to get them soft. I like using red potatoes or Yukon...

What if you turned the anise sesame cookies into lemon cookies (swapping zest for anise)? Lemon would complement the pie nicely, but you still get the cookie part taken care of. Howev...

I wonder if cinnamon would work in it? Maybe if you broke it down into manageable chunks?

I love coffee table books!

I've actually sampled this at Costco and it's really not that bad. I'd say it's right up there with Aunt Jemima or Bisquick panckae mixes - not as good as scratch, but much less processed aftertas...

I think I'd like to learn how to make proper soup bases for udon, ramen, miso, etc. Plus, the nuances between all the different types of miso!
