I'm with MKQ, the lack of privacy is an issue if this is supposed to be a long-term live-in arrangement. And the fact that it's right next to a glass exterior door? Even more uncomfortable. This...
Soy sauce, peas, chopped onion, a little ginger, and just a tiny dash of vinegar. It's not quite fried rice, but it's a good side dish.
I cook my rice in the crock pot-- three cups ...
We don't do this. I tried it after reading it in a magazine years ago and I don't get the appeal. The apple pies I grew up on were very mildly sweet, usually using only the sweetness of the apple...
Maybe being one of eight children left me with no need for privacy, but do you really expect guests to ask before taking a tampon? I would hope any guests in my house would feel free to take one w...
When we moved into our last apartment, the TV would turn on and off randomly, or change channels. It turned out our neighbor had the same problem. We finally figured out that our remotes worked o...
We primarily use scavenged boxes, but we have purchased boxes a few times because we were unable to find a box the right size size for some of our stuff. Also, in some cities, all the cardboard du...
Oh, basil. I could marry basil. Dill, sage, rosemary, thyme, and just about every other fresh herb have special places in my heart. But when I smell fresh basil, it's just bliss.
I make pie crust without plastic wrap, because I never have it on hand. I dampen the outside a little extra and put it in a covered bowl to chill. And not to brag, but my pie crust is incredible....
I don't make a habit of it, but I have gone looking for a band-aid and found more than I wanted to know! That's the problem with having been a pharmacy technician, I know what everything is for, e...
My mom uses this mantra: Your home is not a landfill. In other words, if you're never going to use it, there is no point in storing it in your house-- it will end up in a landfill anyway, and be ...
I have always hated orange juice, but sometimes I get a powerful craving for it (usually when sick). I would say I probably drink a half-gallon per year. Oranges, though-- I love those.
I was boiling a whole chicken for soup and it boiled over. The chicken fat spread in a thin layer over the entire top of my stove, which then caught on fire. At the time the fire broke out, two M...
I like the big ones cut in half, scooped out, and stuffed with rice, bulgur, tomato, and hunks of cheese, then baked. Actually that's our dinner plan tonight. But I also rely on zukes for a quick...
I love how smooth cold-brew coffee is. I have started cold-brewing all coffee and just adding hot water to it when I want hot coffee. It seems to be a lot more concentrated when cold-brewed so di...
I love my Diva Cup and would never go back. Learning to use it was comparable to learning to use tampons for the first time. And although I am a generally squeamish person, I find this far less i...

My favorite are the fresh white cheddar cheese curds. Oh, heaven.

Oh yeah, my oven mitts, too. Mostly because they have been, uh, lightly toasted.

And by "in public" I mean in a public restroom. Cause, uh, anything else would be very disturbing.

My cat would love this.
I have two throws I adore. One is orange tartan and one is pink stripes. I don't know why, but they look fantastic together.
