I use Fresh Direct when I really need to stock up and don't feel like carrying groceries home -- or more importantly, don't feel likely hauling them up the stairs. Otherwise, I'll make frequent st...
I agree with melkozek -- I far prefer unoaked Chardonnay (e.g. white burgundy). I feel the oak overpowers the grape.
I'm also surprised that some find sauvignon blanc sweet -- it ofte...
To some of the commenters concerned about the heat of the radiator, I have a cover like that in my office, and I have both my printer and a plant sitting on it -- it doesn't get that hot. Also, if...
I like Kevin, but I'm kind of surprised by the runaway votes for him. I admire his consistent execution, but sometimes I want to be a bit more surprised by his food. (But I'm also the only person...
I must be weird, because I used to plan ahead, but found that to be wasteful. I'd end up with little scraps of things left over, and that don't go together, that would eventually get tossed. ...
I should qualify my vote and say that we light candles every night in the non-summer months. A set of tapers live on our dining table, so it's not hard to light them. However, if we have the A/C ...
In my life, we clearly have more of the casual-type dinner parties, but I do have some strong nostalgia for the 1950s/60s variety. Today I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable by hosting a 'stu...
I'm inclined to agree with the first post -- I'll use the baking soda / vinegar methods for spills, but nothing non-toxic seems to work on the baked on spatters on the sides of the oven. However, ...
In the West Village, I love Garber Hardware, but it's been mentioned on AT before. I've also found a good old-style store near my office in midtown. It's Central Hardware on 39th St. at 6th Ave. ...
It's nice to see an alternative to the minimalism everyone seems to favor lately. To me, when items are part of a collection, they don't really seem like clutter. Unfortunately, photographs of fu...
I also like the low-fat version of Liberté. Unlike most lower-fat products, it's sweetened with fruit juice (and not aspartame -- yuck). It's got 160 calories per serving.
I g...
I usually have a tub of duck fat in my fridge for times like these but I was out of both that and bacon last night when I made these. To round out the flavor, I added one chopped chipotle chile an...
Hmm... in that case I'm due to repaint. I painted most of my apartment about 3 years ago and my kitchen 4 years ago, but I'm not itching to make any changes. (My bathroom is unfortunately tiled co...
I like to mix lighter vegetables with the eggs but leave heavier ones in the pan and evenly distribute the egg mixture on top. I find that if I mix something like potatoes with the eggs, they sink...
We always eat at the dinner table -- for all meals. I want to focus both on my dining companion and my food. I personally don't find that to be possible with TV on.
The only time we ...
I would venture to guess that the chairs are vintage. I would just keep your eyes open for a modern set. I actually found some great art deco dining chairs on Scavenger.
Here are the...
I don't think the issue is about being ashamed of your TV. Like a few others mentioned, I don't love how our black, shiny box of technology looks among our antiques. This would likely be less of ...
My mom has the Time Life Foods of the World -- I wish she would give me the set! I do have many of the recipes though. The headnotes are really interesting and while some of the recipes are a bit...

I second the Cornish hen suggestion. It looks as festive as a turkey, but is much tastier and can be individually portioned.
