The reason why I'd expect people to know what PEI stands for, or at least to know that it's a province, is that it is most commonly called "PEI" and not "Prince Edward Island". We don't go around s...

Vinta crackers are my favourite. They have a great crunch, great taste, and they're hearty - they can stand up to a lot of dips, spreads, etc., and not get soggy. Man alive, they're good.

I visited Cornwall a few years ago, and this really takes me back. I loved that place. I remember getting off the train in Penzance and how the entire city smelled like a pasty. I also found out th...

My favourite grocery nearby has an amazing selection of cheeses, including a fantastic carmelized onion cheddar imported from England. I bet this sandwich would be yummy with those additions.

We had an ant problem when I was a kid. We poured boiling water on the ant hills we found, and we sprinkled flour on the doorsill - Mom swears they can't cross it, because they choke on the dust. S...

I don't make it every time - depends on what kind of bread I'm in the mood for. It is lovely bread, though. I don't have a Le Creuset, cast-iron pan, etc., but that shouldn't stop you. I just cut t...

That's how my mom ALWAYS preps strawberries...just buds them. I don't know why people would think it's gross; it's just the stem after all. In the end, it's all good!

Fanny Farmer has been around for over 100 years, I believe, and it is the ONLY cookbook my mom uses. Seriously, it is her go to book for everything. I recommend you get the big fat paperback editio...

I've never really had problems with my lasagne noodles sticking. And I'm Canadian and never, ever saw at toast rack until I went to England, nor do I know anyone who uses one. Just because we respe...

I didn't try to get rid of mine; I fed him candy necklaces (I was 8). Our mouse used to watch Saturday morning cartoons with me every week until the dog got him. Poor little guy.

Oh my GOD. Not a good post to read before supper.

My mom used to use it when making molasses cookies, just like her mom did. Good stuff!

Ah cheese curds...an essential item when making poutine!

When I was a kid, we used to take a banana, split it down the middle, and stuff it with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips. Wrap it in foil, stick it in the fire for awhile, and then enjoy.

They're great in muffins, too, but chop them up. Cheddar and caramelized onion muffins, mmmmm. My Pakistani friend taught me how to make authentic basmati rice, and she always started...

I have two dishes: chocolate chip cookies and the sausage thing (that's its name). Whenever I make cookies for my uncle, I have to give him half in cookies and half in dough (which, like myself, is...

I know what I'm having for lunch now! My favourite version is using thick, soft white french bread from the local bakery, slathered with mustard pickles, and Velveeta cheese slices. Mmmmmmmmmm!

I love my steam mop, and it only cost about $75. I got the Shark, and it was worth every penny. The floor dries in minutes, and as an added bonus you don't need any chemicals.

aaedible, I love making falafel! Where (and how) would you use the bulgar in that recipe?

A pinch of sugar? Go big or go home. :p If you want it to whip quicker, freeze your bowl and beaters. But even at room temp, it shouldn't take too long. And if you add a couple of tbsp...
