Mine are on top of the pot rack, but it's not a hanging one like Sara Kate's--it's kind of a flat bar that comes out from the wall a bit, with hooks hanging down. The lids go flat against the wal...

I'm with cmc--the biggest drawback is that my husband and I can't cook together because we'd just bang into each other. He's kind of a sous chef when we cook together, so my solution...

I'm with spossberg--I'm still traumatized from when I put both milk and lemon in my tea as a kid, but you're so convincing that I'll have to make this.

Fridge handle, and a backup on the towel bar on our microwave trolley thing. My mom always kept towels on the fridge handle, and I never noticed that other people don't until adulthood.

I made my corned beef yesterday in the crockpot, using this recipe as a basis: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Guinness-Corned-B...

Milk and graham crackers has always been a favorite of mine. I'm a huge dunking fan--I'll dunk any sweet thing in any milk, coffee, or tea.

I'm with everybody else on the silicone spatulas.

Like a lot of other people, the only thing I buy exclusively frozen is peas. I love peas, so this is a pretty frequent trip to the freezer aisle. I also like frozen raw shrimp--I ...

I love corned beef, but I love corned beef followed by an Irish coffee or a stout float more!! I am so excited for my own green-beer-less St. Patrick's Day party.

I don't have cabinets that go to the ceiling, but that space is full of wall, so I don't have anything else there either. It is a nice space for my kitchen clock though.

"who has "leftover cake?"" Seriously. What leftover cake? I love to cook, but there is a point at which something is too much work for the additional payoff. I will...

What about canned tomatoes? Are they even grown in the US? I use them as my main non-seasonal source of tomatoes (and thus my main source, period, since I'm in the northeast) and ju...

My uncle is super into waffles and makes a killer banana sauce for them. It definitely has bananas and sugar, plus milk, and is pureed, but I don't know the specifics. It's basically liquid banan...

My go-to is pasta with jarred sauce. It's not the same as homemade sauce, obviously, but I was raised on that stuff so it has a special place in my heart, particularly a "chunky garden style."

We have a set of stemless wine glasses that I love for cold beverages. Personally, I'd probably stick with a mug or two for hot beverages, plus a few of the stemless wine glasses, and you can easi...

I made the Bittman souffle last night! It was definitely as advertised--easy, rich, and chocolatey. benayse--I'm probably too late, but I'm pretty sure he said you could make it "up...

We're making braised short ribs together and I'll be attempting a chocolate souffle (this week in Bitten). There will also be wine--first we'll drink whatever's leftover from the bo...

My landlord is on the conservative/annoying side of the spectrum of what you're allowed to do, but this week I'm putting up a pot rack, a magnetic knife strip, and a fun clock from etsy.

Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything Vegetarian has a bunch of bean things--the griddlecakes would probably be something like she describes.
