Yeah, I was stumped by this assertion as well. I was born and raised in the city - in the neighborhood of Dorchester - and it's never crossed my mind that it could be family-unfriendly. I attended ...

Not cookies, but the last wedding I went to was a Boston groom-New York bride wedding: they had Yankees & Red Sox cupcakes, and Hoodsies (which for those not familiar, are little ice cream cups tha...

I'm an American, and was surprised that it was assumed I would not know what PEI stands for - didn't everyone grow up reading Anne of Green Gables? Or at least watching the PBS series?

I would paint the porch, matching most of it to the trim of the house, using 1 or 2 accent colors. Pick out the spindles of the bannister, or maybe the edge of each step, in a very noticeable accen...

Immersion blender - a gadget I have only because I don't like chunks of veggies floating in soups or tomato sauces. Ice shaver - to make homemade sno-cones :)

My parents used to have the misto, it clogged so much and so badly, they got rid of it.

cats = no mice, few bugs (at least at cat-reach levels)

gym stuff

I use tongs, if I'm only using 1 or 2 lemons or limes. Actually, I very rarely juice more than 2, so I guess I can just say I use tongs.

I have a few tomato plants growing in my kitchen this year, so far so good, but we'll see if I get actual tomatoes in August... I have two large south-facing windows, and have always had good luck ...

Aside from the coffee rule, that's my usual m.o. I didn't realize it was such an unusual thing. Shop on Sunday, cook two Sunday dinners, eat leftovers for the week (my work hours are so unpredictab...

I have a vertical lid organizer (the organizer is horizontal, lays on the shelf of my island, holds the lids vertically) that NEVER EVER EVER holds the lids properly. I've had it for 5 years, every...

My family's recipe has no caraway seeds at all! I made one yesterday to bring in to share with work tomorrow for breakfast - can't wait!

Roast! Can't believe that's not an option

The last snowstorm made me wish for stew, but since they're now forecasting temps in the upper 50s for the weekend, I'm at a loss.

I have always made mine with brown sugar, cinnamon and dried apple slices, LOVE cream of wheat! Man, I could have used a bowl this morning.

My secret: buy a bottle of champagne, only to be uncorked when all filing is complete. Then celebrate!

Being a huge klutz, I just can't pick the worst spill! My top 3 off the top of my head: dropped a liter of olive oil on the concrete front steps of my old house, leaving them slicked over for month...

TIMER!!! I also use the timer light going off as a reminder to turn off the tv and go to bed : )

Hasn't the iconic view of Boston-from-the-water come to be one including the hotel with the arch in the middle? I believe if the rendering above included one more building to the south, it would sh...
