ugh. i'm so over this style of "upcycling". It just looks like garbage. just send them to be recycled already ... i believe re-nest even posted on how to do that already!!!

I don't get it. How can orange signify eating with caution AND gusto? Also, i was always under the impression that green was an appetite suppresant (this is before the low-fat/healthfood machine ...

Clearly i'm a New Yorker. My reaction was "eh, pretty small, but totally do-able". I've definitely lived in rooms smaller than 15x10, but i'm not sure i'd want to BUY something like that.

Plantains. They're just too sweet for a savory meal. And on top of that they're kind of bland. Olives. I love pickles and pickle juice but just can't get into the brine of olives.

haha, i guess i don't have to go to the website to get my score since we apparently live in the same neighborhood (based on the above map). Seriously, we're like next door neighbors. :)

I always have homemade bbq sauce on hand and use it in quick quesadilla dinners (get a tortilla, whatever cheese, drizzle some sauce in there, maybe a shrimp or two from the freezer, and voila -- d...

Although i participate in a CSA, support the farmers market, and don't buy out of season, i really think that all this "local eating is sooo much more delicious" stuff is just too romanticized. It...

I'm pretty sure the springs (pictured above) in Bath are not actually open to the public for swimming.

I thought the way the borax/diatomaceous earth worked is that it is very sharp on a micro scale, so it effectively cuts holes in the exoskeleton and the cockroaches die. Since its not an ingested ...

are those gooseberries in the top right of that photo!?!? where does one find fresh gooseberries?????

I'm an awful person. I usually steam them as is. I console myself by telling myself that they're already half dead by the time i get them home... they're usually pretty lethargic from sitting aro...

Ditto on putting it in all mayo-based salads. Its my secret ingredient.

why would collecting rain water be illegal?

I have that exact map and have tried the same project, and let me tell you it is NOT easy. Foam core cannot be cut at home, end of story. Has to be pasted and then brought back to the art shop fo...

Sautee pan, definitely. My cookware set (cuisinart, highly recommended) came with 2 skillets and i think i've used one of them once since buying. The sautee pan gets used more than anything else....

i have an instant read thermometer like the one you linked to in the article, and tried to calibrate it recently exactly as you described. here was my experience: -dip into boiling wa...

I see your point, but i've replaced american cheese with sliced munster for pretty much all american cheese applications (burgers, grilled cheese). Its mild, melts well, and is tasty.

Geez. I know what PEI mussels are, but only as of late. I've heard of Prince Edward Island. Did i know they produced mussels 5 yrs ago? No. Did i go to a restaurant and see "PEI mussels" on it...

stoned wheat thins!

I bring my lunch a lot and usually cook up a big batch of something (stew, soup, curry, etc) and portion it out in plastic containers. I then freeze and take them into work (where the freezer is N...
