Rosebud...you ROCK!! I really admire your energy and organization.

I've done this and it works great. Raw onions are too harsh for me, but the ice water soak makes them entirely palatable.

This is a cute idea to keep kids busy AND feed them. Although I think I would try cutting the crusts off so the ends 'stick' a little better.

I've noticed that while the Brits usually pronounce short 'a' as 'ahh', as in 'Frahnce', 'glahss', 'dahnce', they don't with words like 'parmesan' and 'pasta', instead pronouncing them like the Ame...

I'm with katiebug. With any kind of fruit that is in season, there's nothing needed besides a good rinse. Why mess with perfection?

Kathryn, I don't have any suggestions to add; all of these are so great. Just wanted to say...What a kind friend you are.

Deleilan, When you do get that small fridge...and I'm guessing that you will after reading all these great suggestions...don't forget to update us with photos of your *new and i...

Sour cream and sugar!...that's how my great grandmother always served berries. I think it's an Old World thing. Not that I don't like that or muffins or drinks or cobblers or anything...

I haven't been camping since my early twenties...a long time ago...but off the top of my head I can remember some of my favorites: -spaghetti with clam sauce using canned clams and bo...

So many good suggestions here. I think you've got the right idea in making some security decisions (that make sense for you) as you move so you can relax and enjoy your new home. I ha...

Years ago, two roommates and I moved a couch on a skateboard. The new apartment was only around the block and it should have taken 15 minutes, but we took turns riding on it and we we...

When I lived in Santa Monica, four blocks from the beach, it was the constant comfort of the waves, every now and then broken by the faint screams of riders on the roller coaster on the boardwalk. ...

I'm with Hollie.

Ask for "earthquake straps". Some are large and obtrusive, but you can find some that are smaller and can get the job done without being that noticeble.

closertotheocean, I use Method products and I love them. I'm always pleased with how well they work and the scents they leave behind. So far...I use the dish soap, all su...

There was only one time I had an upstairs neighbor and he turned out to be a concert pianist....who practiced at home. At first I tried to tell myself how lovely that would be. But I ...

This is one of my favorites, found in a book on vegetarianism by John Robbins, and somewhat modified over the years. Not a vegan anymore, but I love this easy recipe... tahini spread/s...

I didn't join in on loaning to this farmer, but as a longtime Kiva loaner, I was thrilled to see your posting. Kiva is such a great organization and letting people know about it is a wonderful thin...
