WTF's a ball dress? and hostess pajamas?

Trader Joes has some soup and pasta bowls that you fill with water, microwave 3 mins and mix, if you're like me and need warm food. I carried a small container of parmesan, and it hit the spot!

These seem similar to chocolate cookies from a bakery in Santa Cruz, CA, with mint chips in it- difficult to find in grocery stores, but so so good. I have more luck finding mint chips around Chris...

definitely have to agree that some things reheated require a toaster oven- pizza is almost returned to fresh by 30 seconds in the microwave followed by a few minutes in the toaster oven

I second the hotel- when the power went out for the second time in a week in 115 degree heat in Arizona- so we couldn't even run fans, we called the new Hilton that went in recently and asked if we...

a fair assortment of screws and nails.. funny this is up- just bought my first house and am experiencing the daily run to the hardware store.. argh.

cooking for less time/higher temp- experiment until you get the texture you want I want brownies now!

I unpack when I'm packing for the next trip, or just continue to live out of the bag until it is unpacked...

all I can think is toilet overflows--> toilet contents all over shower floor- however my roommate uses a wheelchair, and I've often thought that it would make a lot more sense in general if we just...

yay- excited to see an accessibility related post on AT!

Was given the pillow as a gift, and as a person very much against cheesy stuff, I didn't expect to keep it long. However, it is a very comfortable pillow- great lower back pillow, great neck pillow...

Ha ha on the Chevy Cavalier- rented a brand new one (read 200 miles on the odometer- I'd never even ridden in a car that new) for a week-long road trip. By the time we were home, the trunk was no l...

Been looking at doing a wall mural based on Degas' Ballet Reheasal- this would be perfect, but it doesn't appear to actually be commercially available.

vegetables brown when overcooked, period.

Depends on what it is- just finished a week of homemade mac and cheese- mmmm, but most things get old before that. I wish I had a bigger freezer.

Screw-on top won't stop ants- the little suckers just follow the rings like a superhighway. Good luck!

I've never had trouble emptying my Dyson. However, it doesn't do an especially good job of picking up heavier things unless I use the hose. It does great with dust and lighter things.
