Great idea -- I have so little imagination that I've always just clicked "avoid highways" and hoped for the best (I don't own a car and I bike pretty much everywhere I can't get to via mass transit...
Last time I was in the store, the owner told me the name was going to change -- to something like Minimal. I guess there's too much overlap with "Zinc Details" and "Scandinavian Design" (that plus ...
Lately I've been crazy about breakfast quinoa (thanks to 101cookbooks): quinoa cooked in water and milk, with toasted walnuts, cinnamon, blueberries, and a bit of honey. But, like you, I love blueb...
My mom expressed what you might call her maternal instinct (not to mention her creative instinct) through food -- she cooked and baked almost everything we ate, from entrees to bread to condiments ...
Kudos to anyone who cares about hunger around the world, but . . . it's really not that simple. Spending extra money on ingredients (or even on a meal out) is not necessarily selfish or self-absorb...
I have exactly the same stuff on my bathroom window. I ordered it online from 2Jane.com. It wasn't all that cheap, I have to say. But one unit netted me enough film for both the bathroom window and...
Buttermilk "keeps" for a good while (or maybe I just don't notice when it goes bad?). I usually have some in the refrigerator. I use it for all kinds of baked goods and sometimes for ice cream. But...
I have gotten perfectly fine results after running my cuisinart machine for 25-30 minutes . . . not sure what would improve if I ran it longer. (I do chill the ingredients overnight, most of the ti...
I bought a tatami bed from Thousand Cranes 6-7 years ago -- it wasn't cheap and it took awhile for it to be delivered (they're made to order), but I love it. (I have a mattress, not a futon.)
I don't even know what this is! But it's compact, which is good, and it's bound to be a big improvement over my 1980s stereo equipment . . .
I'm still stuck on the soundtrack to In th...
I've been wanting a saucier for a while now -- I didn't know Le Creuset produced them! I would make all sorts of things that benefit from not getting stuck on the side of the pan -- ganache, small-...
At the risk of coming off all snooty and anti-xmas, I have to be honest: I don't have any xmas music. So . . . the first thing I'd put on would be Lorraine Hunt Lieberson singing Bach cantatas.
I bought my 19" TV in 1996, after my marriage ended (my ex and I agreed that he would keep the 9" b/w TV we bought in 1989 and I would get the stereo he bought in 1984—I still think I got the...
I live in Berkeley, so I don't really have to spend a huge amount to get good produce (I don't think I do, at any rate). But I will spend on olive oil (I don't go for the top of the heap, but I'm w...
I confess I was too lazy to click on the link, so forgive me if the Treehugger post answers my question. Which is this: If you're trying to be green, don't you have to factor in the amount of power...
