i've had this model for a couple of years, but have only recently started using it in earnest. among others, i've made the mango lassi frozen yogurt recipe from the "best lick" contest twice now an...

oh, and we didn't pay $500 for it. we found it on craigslist for $200, posted by someone that had bought it for even less at a fan auction.

i have the artemis fan with translucent blades in my living room. it's the coolest fan ever as far as i'm concerned!

i have a wall of the "braille" design. we painted them with a brush, which did take forever but worked. i think the bigger concerns are 1) they get SO dusty. it's impossible to keep them clean; and...

orchid64 - i thought the same thing at first, but i think #5 is best thought of as a long-term strategy, not quick relief from the gimmies. if you make #5 a habit, then in lean times it will be a l...

a friend recently made me something like this for my birthday. she took a frame and attached window screen material to it (instead of the fabric used here). i use it to display my earrings.

question to the people without bowing problems - are you using the more narrow bookcases, or the wider ones? i'm thinking about lining my hallway with them, but definitely don't want to end up with...

FYI - i made this pie and took it to my in-law's for thanksgiving and my mother-in-law said it was the BEST pumpkin pie she's ever had. i would agree. i don't think the bailey's flavored whipped cr...

withcbaby, you can tell your friends that some dogs really do need that extra warmth! i have a greyhound, and awesome though she may be, she was bred to be not much more than skin and bones, so MN ...

wow, i didn't know there were so many self-righteous AT readers. mrs. w, i'm also petite and i love my ridgid 12v lithium drill/driver. it's way more powerful than drills i've used in...

good god you have nice stuff (and maybe more importantly, you don't have a bunch of extra not-so-great stuff lying around to clutter it all up).

my suggestion is: 1. New black countertop (we have paperstone, which has a nice matte finish) 2. New nickel-finish hardware for cabinets 3. Paint kickplate / baseboard black ...

bepsf - i have a flat roof (which i LOVE, don't get me wrong) and once we've had even a mild thaw and the snow turns to ice, you end up with these really loud cracks and pops caused by the ice shif...

i have these! i found an unopened package of them at a thrift store several years ago. they're great!

GreenBex, your comment cracked me up. I can't imagine anything on earth that would make me look forward to my period!

we almost installed a similar product (same thing, different brand) in our hallway and kitchen, but because we wanted to include a light fixture so we could use the light in the evenings, it was pr...

i can make a pie crust that will make you cry for joy, but any cake i even attempt just turns into a big pile of nasty. it's so sad.

yeah, the chocolate-dipped bacon made it's debut at the MN State Fair (aka The Great Minnesota Get-Together) this year and reviews were pretty unanimously bad. I don't eat meat, but my friend tried...

i'm not even going to pretend to be an expert on this one, but i'm inclined to say electric is better b/c you can usually purchase renewable energy credits through your electric company (basically ...

i love this. so simple, and so functional. i'm going to copy this tonight. thanks!
