You can sprout any bean - it just takes longer with some than others. You can even sprout chickpeas (although those take a while and you need to monitor them carefully). Try mung bean sprouts - t...

Yum. My mom did something similar too. I think we're gonna try this with the homemade tortillas.

I'm so glad you've posted Food in Jars! It's been one of my faves for a while now.

Yup! You can do it on a stick too - here it is RAW on a stick .

That happened to my Le Creuset a month ago and I was/am horrified. If it's a Le Creuset, there is a lifetime warranty though.

Thanks everyone! I know the Brooklyn Target DOES NOT sell wine, so that's that. As for Black Box, I've heard good things, but has the price point really gone up to $30? I would rather get DTour ...

Craigslist is a great way to go to get quality without a huge pricetag. I live in Brooklyn, so designer/nice things can be pricey, but I always see great prices on AT's Craigslist finds for Chicag...

I second caramelized onions. You can store and use them in anything (sandwiches, pasta, salads, pizza, casseroles, etc.). You could also make a nice chutney with onions and mango - can it and pre...

Throwing a Seder at the new apartment that will be vegetarian and hopefully inspired by this "Mexican/Passover" NYT's piece

Good old mason jars work for me in quart and pint size varieties! They look really nice too . I use
