We're doing this at home already for water and juice. We've just been thoroughly washing the plastic lids that come with the milk when purchased and then reuse them. Seems to work just fine for us....
There is a great French/Asian fusion recipe for edamame and french green beans in Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything Vegetarian . We made this last week with our CSA veggies and it was gon...
Paper grocery bags (handles removed). These don't make it home very often, but once every few months or so they do, and it provides hours of entertainment.
Plaid Ninja - I agree that it is a bit of a pain to wash, but because it takes a while to cool down it's not usually an issue by the time I'm ready to wash it. Regarding the cold spot in the middle...
Those double burner grill/griddle pans are really great. They are perfect for the apartment dweller without access to or space for an outdoor grill. I picked up one several years ago and make good ...
I too preferred the black background, but what really bothers me now is the giant white AT logo block which seems to be occupying way more screen real estate than it needs to be (given its function...
I will second the recommendation of the Electrolux Oxygen3 model. We were able to pick one up at Sears for around $425. It takes down cat hair without a second thought, and manages to get around ou...

I second kennjamin's advice. I just read about tinted paste wax this past weekend in a woodworking magazine as a method to tint wood furniture to more closely match finishes. Plus wax is way less w...
I would also add to that list the Cal State Long Beach art dept, which does have student art sales during the year. I always seemed to miss the sales when we lived there, but enjoyed much of the ar...
I say skip the expedit, and build your own a la Shannon & Emmett's house tour (on AT:Chicago). I've built this same sort of shelving unit for books using 10ft 2x10's. You could easily buy 16ft 2x10...
I'm a fan of the Electrolux Oxygen3 canister vacuum. It makes even our crappy rental apartment carpet look brand new. Pet hair comes up like a charm, and we don't have to spend an hour vacuuming th...
