I got married last September and while the reception was more casual than a lot of people plan, some of the ideas might transfer well to other situations/settings. We did a lot of the reception our...
I agree with those who suggested Correlle, though I personally refuse to own any (but it's a personal thing and has nothing to do with the quality of the dishes) - it is virtually indestructible. I...
Kelly here. Thanks so much for all the advice, everyone! We went out and bought the Electrolux ErgoRapido (the one recommended by AT:LA in the second comment) this weekend. After 24 hours, we had ...
I forgot to add that for breakfast, biscuits and gravy are actually pretty easy to do camping. Just make the biscuits ahead of time, and bring sausage, a package of gravy mix, and some breakfast sa...
I'm a big fan of fish (preferably salmon) cooked in foil on the campfire. Add a little oil, salt and pepper, and you're good (a few seasonings if you wish, but no need, or you could marinate it ahe...
I am so sad! I check this site a couple of times a day, especially when it's a really slow day at work. It's a bummer when (if as speculated) a few grumpy people ruin it for the majority.
I have a rule against fake animals in the yard. Just a big "no" on that. There are rules about what we can and can't have in our townhome subdivision, but nothing against large fake deer apparently...
Penzey's (a mail-order company that also has store locations) doesn't sell in bulk, but does sell many of their spices in smaller 2 or 4 ounce containers (as we...
My husband had ants for years in his townhome and could never seem to get rid of them - sure, they'd go away for a while after he put out traps, but they'd eventually come back. When I moved in aft...
My aunt made me 6 of these as a bridal shower gift and they're super cute. Very easy to do, also, I think. Some of the pattern companies have similar patterns, but all you'd really have to do is: t...
JefferyK - I store the booklets next to the CDs in the binder pages. It's a tight fit, but it works. I put them in the "outside" slot with the CD in the "center" slot, which means I can more easily...
I know people will gasp at this, but... any dish where tomatoes or onions are a central focus. I detest them. This will make most people sad (I'm sure my husband wishes it weren't so), but it's tru...
I moved my CD collection into 3-ring binders several years ago and am so glad I did! They're still heavy to move, but take up so much less space! My collection of 900 CDs (that hasn't physically g...
I moved into my husband's house when we got married 9 months ago and shortly thereafter determined that some nightlights would be good for our marriage (because a wife who is cursing at 2 am becaus...
hja - I never would have even considered the idea of having a housekeeper, except that my husband, long before I married him, had his grandma doing it (since that's her trade). It was a good thing,...
My husband recently installed an under-cabinet television in our kitchen for me, so right now I'm watching the first season of a sci-fi series I've been meaning to check out on DVD. We have a fairl...

I like red pepper flakes too, but then I found cracked black pepper, and I love it even more.

Chocolate mousse, or banana cream. Both disgustingly easy for pie, and don't require me to turn on the oven in the heat of summer.
