In my experience what salad spinner you are using makes a big difference. I have the cheapest possible one (from the dollar store) and it is easy to clean and use-- no spring-loaded spinners, just...
What, you mean actual houses in Canada don't look like this? :) I think even an American could recognize this as art rather than actual Canadian decor, Chris.
I adore those geese! ...
Just to clarify: I am in no way associated with FlyLady. My mom is just really into her strange purple rubber brush, which to me makes about as much sense as a foot dustpan.
That k...
Dana, clearly you meant no harm, but my Midwestern hackles went up at "hinterlands."
My cookbook-soulmate is "Passionate Vegetarian" by Crescent Dragonwagon. She wrote from Eureka ...
I like a malty and sweet beer when I'm just drinking a beer, but when I'm eating, I want something bitterer.
Several of the beers that used to be brewed in my hometown (the brewery w...
I had a Target version that looked like the RSVP. After less than a year of use, the bottom fell off! Apparently the glue used to hold the pieces together was oil-soluble. I was too mad!
I hate cleaning when my husband is around. Even if he's also doing chores, I can't resist (unfavorably) comparing how hard he is working to how hard I am working! It's a no-win situation. Luckil...
I had a futon on the floor in college. I miss the simplicity. As for cleanliness, well, I have two cats hopping all over my bed most of the time, so I think there is probably not a lot of differe...
Oh my god! I read that book over and over when I was a kid. I found it in our small-town library and loved the projects. My mother thought I was nuts to be looking at such dated decor... who kne...
I use similar containers as to-go cups. Just cut a small cross in the top of the lid and poke a straw through. That way, I get the "refill" price on fountain sodas at the convenience store!
We canoe-camp, which usually means we can lug along more cooking gear than a backpacker. I like one sweet potato (or a couple of carrots), one potato, one onion, and a little bit of ham cubed and ...
I make homemade yogurt from powdered milk, which makes it extremely cheap.
I tried making my own wine, but it turned out to be more like making my own prison hooch. Very yeasty and ...
I use baking soda with a tiny bit of dishwashing detergent. I don't let it sit, though, just rub in circles (gently, not scrubbing). It works fine for me.
I LOVE the pairing of the table and chairs. The mixture of textures throughout the house is very pleasing and I also like that the walls are bare. Thumbs up!

You forgot to mention the most fun option, which is to buy wine by the crate!
I tried this with tea towels and they turned yellow. I wish it worked, though!

I can't believe this didn't include FlyLady's Rubba Scrubba!

That poster is perfect for we who love the good stuff, but can't afford to bring it home! Ah, Eames!
