CHEESE!!!

My dad does this and it turns out great. He takes a roasting pan (with the metal grate in the bottom so the meat doesn't rest on a flat surface) places a large un-cut piece of meat on the grate an...

I just got back from picking up a housewarming gift. Our local spice shop (www.savoryspiceshop.com) makes custom and pre-mixed gift boxes, nothing like new spices to put good cooking smells into y...

sweet corn (blanched and cut off the cobb), feta, chopped tomatoes, red onions, fresh basil, s&p, balsamic and olive oil. so incredibly good. I can eat it for days...

I ride a Simple City 8. It's the greatest bike ever. As a professional bike nerd I have several very fancy bikes for all sorts of purposes, but being able to hop on in my flip flops and cruise to...

My suggestion is to change the consistency of your soap rather than your dispenser. I water mine down so that the gloopy drop doesn't stay on the pump after i've pumped it. Plus i end up using le...

I can see the tower of a Purina pet food factory from my front porch. It only smells when a cold front it moving in, but it's pretty nasty. Smells a lot like rotten grain. Makes me buy really fa...

Is it just me, or does this remind anyone else of the movie "Boxing Helena"???? Creepy....

I have this theory of cleaning from the top down. Room by room starting on the top floor i tidy, dust, make beds, vacuum/sweep/mop. Once i see the one really clean room, it makes me want to clean...

I'm a fan of Lock & Lock. I've never had a leak and use them nearly every day to bring my lunch to work on my bicycle.

I just built three of those Sunset raised beds last weekend. They were easy to build and look GREAT. I'm very happy with them. Now if it would just stop snowing in Denver so i can plant!

Get some sticky velcro tape at Home Depot or Office Depot. Put half of it on the changing table, half on the box and stick em' together! The extra tough stuff should certainly hold the wipe box down!

Id love to point out that New Belgium is also one of the first two Platinum Level Bicycle Friendly Businesses in the US. For more info on the program (and how your business can apply...) visit www...

I've been to a BBQ where a friend of mine was using one of these. It's amazing!! Obviously not the right price for home use, but if you entertain a crowd frequently this thing rocks!!

You're going to be MUCH happier if you save up a little and install new countertops. They're reasonably cheap at home improvement stores and simple to install. Painting countertops gives me a the...

Maggie Here- Yes- i did build the fence. it was very simple, but a fun weekend project. Also the brown color in the bedroom (with the yellow chair) is "stampede" from benjamin moore.

SEWER LINES! My 1892 Denver Victorian came cheap because of a blocked sewer line (the old ones are ceramic and roots break through them). You know you're a real grown-up when you swoon over how we...

We moved into a house when i was 11 that had a trout themed bathroom. It had a runner of wallpaper around the top of the walls with jumping trout etc. Since then we tore it out, turned it into a ...

Isn't this his house that uses more water than most golf courses?

Find an old one on e-bay (ugly, ripped, who cares). Use a seam ripper to disassemble it, and use the pieces as a pattern. If you don't want to do the sewing, take it to your local seamstress or u...
