It's not as local as it should be, but I am craving Bea's chilled avocado, orange and lime soup, so that's on the menu. And we've got a salad with fruit. I have no interest in turning on the stov...
I leave mine in the oven all the time. I remember once Alton Brown recommended it. It does take a little longer to heat, since it absorbs heat, but I've had a lot better results with baking, sinc...
To highlight the detail, you could use a colored wax (after staining, of course) to emphasize some of the carving. If you can't find pre-colored wax, you can tint your own. A quick google search ...
I have a combo W/D unit in my kitchen. It hooks up to the sink for water, which is annoying when I want to do laundry and cook at the same time. However, it's really convenient to dump dirty dish...
I find that keeping magazines takes up too much space, so I started ripping out recipes that I want to make. They, along with recipes printed from the Internet, go into a vertical file box for eac...
I think knives are much more likely to accumulate dust and dirt in a knife block or in a drawer than on a magnetic rack. Those places aren't cleaned that often, and grime tends to accumulate (I ju...
I think this probably doesn't appeal to the taste of most AT readers, but I love the salon feeling here. I appreciate the theme that has emerged as opposed to seeing another tasteful space.

I think other people are suggesting a darker wall color to add a little contrast (is the paint also washed out a little from the flash?). I think you could also achieve that with some brightly col...
I agree with the commenters that say the apartment looks lived in. And I also think that Timothy and Laura have some really great pieces. For some reason they get a little lost to me. It may jus...
My grandmother, who lives in rural Missouri, eats her main meal at mid-day and calls it dinner. Her evening meal is much smaller and she calls it supper. I always thought that was a practical con...
Since all of our garbage goes in our apartment's bins, it all ends up inside a traditional black bag. I'm guessing that means that the smaller bags inside aren't going to break down. Would it mak...
I wish I could pick semi-open. Right now my kitchen is set off from the rest of the apartment, so when people are over, I feel like I'm missing out on all the fun. Even if I cook ahead, running b...
We use plain white cotton napkins for everyday, but sometimes if we overfill the washer/dryer, they come out pretty wrinkled. If they are no longer damp, I've learned (from Cheryl Mendelson's Home...
I have this hamper and have been pretty happy with it so far. The lining is attached with velcro, which made me a bit nervous at first, but it seems to be holding up pretty well. It's nice that c...
Kroger was my neighborhood store growing up. It was good for basics, but we were never big fans. And their generic label is dreadful. Now that I've gotten used to smaller, specialty stores in th...
I am definitely an ardent over-the-top person for the many reasons others have mentioned, but I thought I'd point out that some brands of toilet paper have decorations in their quilting (Northern i...
I agree with angorian that some rules were created to delineate class differences, but they also were created to put people at ease. There are fewer misunderstandings and people can focus on conve...
I have 2 windows in my kitchen, so I answered 'yes.' But does it really count when they look out at brick walls in an air shaft? I appreciate being able to have an air-conditioner in the kitchen,...
I suppose I'm old-fashioned, but I'm loyal to the Cuisinart. I have the one with the mechanical, paddle controls, which I much prefer over the push buttons that both some of the Cuisinart's have a...
