I have the Bodum one, and (like Kay) I've found that bits of tea get stuck in the diffuser. It doesn't have holes, but rather long, thin slits, which I think is part of the problem.

When we bought our house, we had a vintage oven. We ended up replacing it. The oven was tiny (though there were two of them, neither was large enough for a cookie sheet) and it was much less well...
Someone at my knitting group was just warning me about maggots in peanut butter cups - apparently this happened to one of her friends in college. Seems like that's a better thing to check the kids...
It's great - MUCH thicker and more durable than "If You Care." (An aside: "If You Care" seems like the most passive-aggressive brand name ever. It makes me snicker every time I see it at the co-op.)
We're making wine for the first time this year (blackberry) and I'm wondering if there's any reason (other than aesthetics) that I can't just put it in quart jars when it's finished its final ferme...
@Rivercat0338 - me too! I was hoping they'd have some clever way of making them look nice, but (since they're homeowners) it looks like they just replaced the fronts. I've been thinking of trying...
I changed the recipe a bit and made it as muffins instead of quick bread. They turned out great - no problems from lack of oil/butter.
(My "muffinized" version of the recipe is here: ...
Yeah, I agree with IzzyIzzy - Target's flour sack towels are great for this! They also come in an organic version, if you are trying to buy more organic cotton.
We have a large one of these (http://www.epicureancs.com/store/products.php?category_id=1). It fits perfectly across one side of our double sink. I don't really like to use it there - it sounds a...
Squirrely, I was going to say the same thing - oat bran is also very healthy, and very tasty. (Cooked as a breakfast cereal, it's like a much much healthier version of cream of wheat.) But I don'...
I've had mine separated for a long time. We have two sets, actually, with both the "standard" and the "odd" sizes (one set is round and one is those squared-off ones). We just keep them in a pret...
I did something very similar with a group of friends in the spring. My favorite meal from that trip was tamales - the day before we made them, I braised some pork in the oven. The day of, two peo...
I started canning a few years ago (4 or 5, I think) when our apple tree had an unexpectedly large yield. Since moving to the Pacific Northwest, with its amazing stone fruit, I've been canning a lo...
I use my soapy hands to clean it - I can feel where those stealth bits have gotten stuck that way, and rub them from the back 'til they loosen up. Also, cleaning it ASAP after use seems to help a ...
Woo-hoo! I just went and stored it more compactly. Thanks, burrda!
If you need to pit a lot of cherries, having this around really does make your life easier. I make jam, and pitt...

Laminate. It's great - easy to maintain and easy on the feet (though the recent discussion about rubber floors appeals to me...).
Gazpacho, in part because it has such good memories for me: http://seasonal-menus.blogspot.com/2009/07/no-heat-meals.html ...
It's great for making fruit curds and apple- or plum sauce. Also, it definitely makes re-heating leftovers easier.
I've made Moosewood's "Sweet Potato & Black Bean Hash" for many brunches, and it's always been a hit:
I use my soapy hands to clean it - I can feel where those stealth bits have gotten stuck that way, and rub them from the back 'til they loosen up. Also, cleaning it ASAP after use seems to help a ...
Mac 'n' cheese wine tastings at the Tasting Room (just outside the market), featuring Beecher's own, are my personal "insider's tip":
