That largest jar may be a Mason jar, but the rest don't appear to be. The small one without the green plastic attachment definitely is not a Mason jar.
I raise this point because Maso...
There's a pretty substantial variation in the size of FQs, so if you fail to trim them all to the same size know that your finished napkins won't be exactly the same size.
The variati...
mschatelaine I'd be interested in references to studies linking cancer to eating spicy foods. I've not seen them and I'm highly skeptical of your statement. Thanks.
Good post. In regard to what to keep on hand: It's best to keep on hand YOUR OWN favorite ingredients -- stuff you can quickly whip up into a dish you know and love. So by all means keep an emergen...
lifeabundant no need to dry your cast iron with a towel! Simply heat your wet pan on low heat on the stove until the water evaporates. Dries more thoroughly than a towel.

True, manu_pty -- but if they get dusty, you can simply empty them, rinse them (using a brush and even detergent if needed), let them dry, and replace the contents.
When I had a food processor with that sort of disc, I got a wooden rack -- made by Cuisinart, I think -- that was essentially a purpose-made version of the towel rod solution shown here:
Croquembouche is fine, but not if Claire's wed to the gougeres. They're both made from chox paste, and I wouldn't serve choux paste in two courses of the same meal.
If you really want to hang them on the wall, go for a sealed shadowbox frame. Haggerty makes silver protection strips. You can place them in the frame before you seal it; they will absorb sulphur i...
Did I read this correctly? An index card that costs $1.50? And that's before shipping? And the problem with an index card from the local office-supply store is . . . ?
My husband and I are about half-way through building our "forever home" in rural South Carolina. Our contractor walked off the job a couple weeks ago and has placed a $50k mechanics lien against th...
You can also remove the panels from your appliances and send them to be professionally enameled. The enamel is as durable as the original finish.

Geez, Louise, people! Step up to the plate. DO NOT say you want a raincheck if you don't. The original post implied you just don't want to spend time with this person, so suggesting seeing them ano...
You missed the larger picture, Emma. Orange juice -- the juice of any fruit -- should be approached with mindfulness. Fruit juice has as much sugar as or more sugar than soft drinks. It has all of ...
Handy tip: Detergent marketed for washing dishes is GREAT for cleaning bathroom surfaces like sinks, tubs, showers and counters. The degreasers cut through soap scum much better than cleaners made ...
So pretty, but so many, many dustcatchers. When I see a place like this I assume they have someone who cleans for them -- who takes everything down once a month and washes or dusts it and puts it b...
I just don't care for fake flowers. How about an aspidistra or a sanseveria. Either would have the verticality you seek. Both are low-light plants, so the mirror and light walls would (from the pic...
Hard fact: Treat the chair as a loan. Treat the tables as a gift.
In other words, you will be honorable and return the chair when friend A wants it back. You will cherish it and treat...

Um, excepting under exceptional circumstances, if you need to wash your genital area, you need a bath.
