The striped straws trigger nostalgia, but I'm not sure why. Before I saw the description I thought they would be perfect if they were paper. Now if only the memory would come back.

If you are familiar with traditional quilt patterns, the name becomes more humorous than irritating -- at least for me. It is a play on the traditional double-wedding ring pattern. I've had the sin...

I'll put in a good word for this product. My recycling has to sit out in the open in my apartment and these don't look as bad as other options. They don't fall over when empty and hold quite a bit....

My new favorite is Trader Joe's Sipping Chocolate.

The weather is windy and chilly and I wish a crock-pot of vegetable soup or chili or beef stew was waiting for me at home. Sigh.

In my house growing up there was no problem, my mother drank buttermilk on a regular basis. I generally use powdered buttermilk for recipes.

I have a Vitra miniature Eames chair and thought that might be the only way I would own one. Would love to add this to my red furniture collection.

No sugar, no flour, bacon grease, iron skillet. Anything else is not cornbread to me.

Just the mention of salsa has gotten me craving some! That would be first on the list.

On my last adventure to Trader Joe's (the closest is a two hour drive away) I discovered the Trader Joe's Refreshers. They are wonderful in blueberry, tangerine and pomegrante. Truly a blessing for...

The classic cucumber sandwich. Wouldn't it be better to say set of teacups? Tea set implies a teapot and sugar/creamer also.

I'm always open to new ideas.

I bought beautiful radishes at the weekly farmer's market. They were delicious, but I'm not sure how to store them. Do you refrigerate and if you do, do they need to be in a bag or something?

I'd love to have the Rice Krispie bar recipe from the early 1960's that used the chocolate and butterscotch chips and done in layers (as opposed to mixing them all in together). My oth...

I was just whining (to myself) about not getting Easter baskets anymore. I'm also a firm believer in not messing with perfection, I'll take my Easter candy as is. Maybe eaten in conjunction with br...

I would love to have a vacuum that really "sucked"!

I have a macrame hanging table that my college roommate made for me almost 30 years ago. Maybe it's time to take it out of the box and use it!

I would love to try Mrs. Meyer's, does "she" do an unscented? I can't use scented products and I find it very hard to find them.

I never really bake with chocolate except for a basic chocolate cake or chocolate chip cookies and I really should step up my skills. I'd also like to try baking with really good chocolate. My co-...

I would add an 8x8 and/or 9x9 square pan. Sometimes a 9x13 pan of brownies is just too much! :-)
