I've been in love with the Julia Child plain omelette method lately. Hot pan, decent amount of butter, eggs go in when the foam subsides. After a second or two in the pan, swirl it around then as...
I've started using my bags instead of the hand basket at the grocery store. That way, if I have forgotten my bags, I realize it at the outset and can run back to the car to get them.
If you are going to have any work done in the new place, hold off on changing the locks. That way you can give keys to the contractors, and then feel confident when you do change the locks (after ...

Changing out the stairs is probably not practical. Painting them white would help, as would a stronger color on the door.
Is that a tiny little light fixture tucked under the roof? ...
Does tupperware pick up the onion odor? If so, that one probably becomes designated for onions - voila, you've made your own onion keeper.
I like the idea of not using platic baggies.
Only 2 years? Is this a reflection on Crate & Barrel furniture? I guess it's true what they say about things not being made the way they used to - I've got a sofa that was previously used by both...
On Cape Cod, our outdoor shower has a limited season, but I have to echo the commenter who said showers outside are bliss! There is nothing better than a morning shower with the sun shining, birds...

Tiamat's kahlua cake is also a family favorite here. I've been looking at the Orangette cake. Thanks for the confirmation, leahnylen.
Cyli - you've got the best part of bacon - green beans sauteed in a little bacon fat! So good.....
