In college once, we were hit by a hurricane and lost power for 2 days. I cooked all kinds of stuff on the public grills, and it was great!

I had that rainbow cake pictured on the cover every birthday for years--so pretty and festive!

I own the pictured isi soda siphon. I really enjoy it. We make mixes of juice and soda or add it to cocktails.

A friend of mine is obsessed with these--she mostly puts them on sandwiches. I believe she buys them at Whole Foods.

Is gloat an acceptable answer? Maybe I can shine it up into "bask."

Oh my god, definitely onions. We have no food processor so I chop everything by hand.

We have a bottle of campari sitting around, but I just haven't developed the taste for it. Erin, your "learning to like campari" post might finally get that bottle used up!

Mojitos are definitely my favorite summertime drink, but I love anything with lime.

Oh, this would be perfect. My plant hierarchy right now is: basil first, then arugula, then parsley, then cilantro.

The really big one for me was the first time I had a dish in a restaraunt and just knew that I could make it better. I think it was a chicken or pork dish at a "family style" restaraunt near my p...

Right now, I have nothing, but I'm planning on picking up a few herbs in Union Square this week. We'll see how it works. My husband and I are so terrible at keeping plants alive. W...

I usually dry the skin fully with paper towels if I don't have time to let it sit in the fridge for long enough to dry out, but I do hate using all of those paper towels...

I can't wait to be able to have a grill. Alas, my apartment has no outdoor area at all.

A bag to carry your bags is definitely odd, but I actually really like how these are see-through.

I roasted my chicken this weekend. I'm very attached to a high-roasting butterfly method I learned from Cooks Illustrated, which allows me to roast veggies or make stuffing at the same time. Pict...

I got a few really great lemons from a friend and made gin fizzes for everyone. It's basically lemonade (lemon juice and simple syrup) made with gin and soda water. I have a soda siphon at home...

I never steam broccoli any other way!

"Strangely, I too have a jar of moonshine jelly in my pantry. It was gift from North Georgia family (along with a jar of peach butter that lasted about 5 minutes)." Carlyf, my moonshin...

I swear I don't usually have fish sticks! I don't think I had eaten a fish stick in 10 years until a few weeks ago when my husband decided he needed some. I'm not gonna lie, though-...

bokeh--I had the same thing. My first choice was to give it away to someone who would drink it, but it is Pepsi Jazz and apparently pretty vile. I think I'm going to dump the soda its...
