I think if you're getting it on Amazon the bowl lift is cheaper, depending on what size/power you're getting. And different colors are more or less expensive than each other. My parents went in tog...

Key lime martinis have been my favorite that I've had so far. The half and half makes them frothy and the sweet lime taste is wonderful. I made them at a cocktail evening I threw and no one wanted ...

Well, any fabric is going to get worn out when used as a seat cover. That's just how it goes. Since sweaters usually pill after going through the wash I don't think they COULD pill when used for mo...

For those of us who grew up in the hills with people who wilted all their lettuce, NO, a wilted lettuce salad does not sound too. Blech. Please tell me that's not getting popular/trendy for restaur...

Blurgh, people used canned biscuits for monkey bread? That's practically sacrilege, and is especially so now that so many people have bread machines (though a batch of dough for monkey bread by han...

I like to make Rosemary Lemon sorbet. It's easy to tweak it so it's sweeter or sourer and the flavors go so well together. I also save some of the mix for it to make cocktails with van...

Pot roast. No question. A nice pot roast sandwich with a thick slice of melting sharp cheddar cheese and a slice of good tomato and maybe just a touch of horseradish.

I have my grandmother's china, which is simple, white and gold but means a lot to me because I miss her greatly. I also have my grandfather's reel-to-reel music collection (put on reel...

I like Marmite and Vegemite. I tried Vegemite at YMCA summer camp (we had counselors from all over the world). This amused my father to no end (I grew up in West Virginia, not really ...

I don't think lillianJulia made too much of a sweeping generalization. Of course there are very responsible local-eating vegans, but there are a LOT of irresponsible ones who don't balance their di...

They HAVE had cats, that's the point. It's just a silly "Oh wouldn't it be nice if this worked ha ha," like when parents pretend to remote turn their kids off (or vice versa). I think you guys are ...

I do this with my DVDs, sort of. I feel like I really don't have enough to warrant alphabetizing them so I organize them by spine color. How I hate that lone hot pink or yellow spine amid all the b...

I keep my yarn in hanging shoe and sweater organizers in my closet (no door on it) and organize it by color, so because of the large visible square it looks very nice. The first pictur...

We made something similar all during my childhood but called it German Apple Pancake. The recipe is so simple: 1/4 cup flour per person, 1/4 cup milk per person, 1 egg per person and 1...

It's not a recent trend of Etsy's. They've had a vintage category from the day they opened their doors. I've been there the whole time. If the creators of Etsy didn't want vintage shop...

Autobiography of a Fat Bride by Laurie Notaro Tortilla Flat by John Steinbeck anything written by Daniel Pinkwater Company by Max Barry 1949 by M...

I have a very large bathroom (could easily be a small bedroom) with a large old fashioned skylight and a claw-foot tub. I have a chronic pain condition and taking a hot bath helps soothe me sometim...

We've been doing folk art trees for a number of years. One year it was three dowel rods leaning in tree shape covered in chicken wire (so we could hang up favorite ornaments) and lights. One year i...

My mom's given me a series of really nice pot holders (aka, ones that really truly protect you) that I appreciate a lot given that I burn myself just about daily. She also gave me a be...

When I was a kid we weren't allowed to put butter or salt on our popcorn, only nutritional yeast, and our mama cats always got a lot while they were nursing kittens to help keep them healthy.
