I'm going to have to be the one dissenting voice here. I never liked the glass containers because they're heavy and therefore more likely to be dropped -- even if they themselves don't...

i don't know about pickle juice pops per se, but that juice left behind in the jar is an amazing thing (i'm speaking for true "pickles" with pickling seasoning left in the jar, like a few cloves of...

i'm growing mint, basil, and sage and they all seem to be reaching for the sky --- tall and thin. I've started chopping off the tops as needed just to keep their height in check and i've notced th...

I have actually thought of this, although i've never tried it. Since i'm roasting a chicken tonight, i'll let you all know how it turns out. Now to my question -- i understand that a ...

being low on knowledge but high in enthusiasm... where do i begin???

Wow. GREAT post. Thing that really caught my eye was the mise en place...what's with the bowl full of eggs when he's making pizza???

wow. i've used wooden spoons all my life, and have never thrown them out, only lost a few in moves, etc. I guess i don't miss the "gloss" of a new spoon, but like the old-fashioned broken in look...

The Grocery restaurant in brooklyn does this, and i always joke about running downstairs to steal some rosemary when i'm in a cooking panic. :)

- frozen corn, peas - loaf of bread - english muffins (the bf starts making a fuss if we have less than 2 at any point in time) - homemade kale & white bean soup - homemade ...

How about tips for the urban dwellers who have no plot of land to call their own, only a windowsill (and i'm talking windowsill here, not even a windowbox is feasible). What can *I* grow, other th...

Is this even possible? Its pretty easy to think of situations where A B is good B C is good but A C is awful... but if everything works together (including A C) then why WOULDN'T A B C be great?

absolutely. i have a large collection of wooden spoons (in my eastern european household, the most common kitchen tools were wooden spoons and ladels... something i find somewhat missing in americ...

Depending on what needs to be ventilated, you might be able to do what we did with our washer/dryer closet: simply put on a regular door (like an interior bedroom painted wooden door) that is solid...

Omg, i am totally with you lolashowme! Bugs do not belong in my house. End of story. The only exception might be flies, since they're too much trouble to catch and usually will just fly back out...

As you pack each box, number it on several sides (so that you can quickly see the # without having to turn the box around, especially when its the bottom box in a stack of 4). Then create a list w...

"for a short time"... like until the fish/veggies die becuase no one knows how to care for this ecosystem?

I was surprised by the eggs thing too. I just recently switched to organic cage free eggs, and was surprised by how LITTLE markup there was. A regular dozen is about $2.50 and organic cage free (...

omg -- my NYC csa doesn't even start until the middle of JUNE!
