We frequently watch TV while eating breakfast and dinner. We have a TV in the kitchen (originally installed for use while spending lots of time baking). It's off in the corner, so not directly the ...
I think it's a cool idea. But, unless they're coming out with multiple varieties, count me out. Skin allergies require the "free" version. I would guess that if the product caught on, they'd come o...
I also like to have a "stuff to eat when ill" list. It's especially helpful when one is nauseated (especially if, like me, you get nauseous when you're too hungry). Beyond the traditional saltines ...
I think it's really hard to do vintage-style without making it look like your grandmother's kitchen. Most of the pictures above got it right, but not all. It's something I struggle with, especially...
My more professional cookbooks (not BH&G) all suggest using unsalted butter for that very reason. They do on America's Test Kitchen as well.
I'm guessing the same reasoning is behind w...
At our wedding almost two years ago, we didn't have cake. Neither one of us really like wedding cake, so we didn't have one. We had a very informal reception (city park, grilling, kickball), so it ...
Wow. I thought my new house had a big kitchen. I had no idea it was actually tiny.
The idea is good (paint), but the pictures that accompany it are ridiculous. A small kitchen is one t...
To follow up on what Lisa (Montreal) said, here's a link to Kansas City Community Gardens . Community gardening is a great way to go if you don't have the o...
FYI, I just heard back from Faith, and the pitcher was made by Green Gate. Unfortunately, Green Gate is a Danish company with no distribution sites in the United States. They have a nice website wi...
We have a cayenne pepper plant growing right now with half a dozen big peppers on it.
Now that we've got them, I have to ask... how does one use the real peppers (and not the dried gro...
Thanks for linking to this article! We just moved into a house with an outdoor fireplace on the deck, and it's just begging to be used for cooking. This is great advice and I'm sure we'll find it h...
I don't think it's a deal-breaker. I'm incredibly happy that our new place has gas, because the old one was electric.
My best advice for an electric stove/oven is to get a thermometer ...
I realize that most of the people who read this site either have kids or are planning to soon, but can I offer a bit of advice from those of us who don't? Please don't assume that everyone attendin...
Behr.com lets you do just that - upload your own photo and color it with their entire collection of paint. The tool is a bit tricky, in that it doesn't always do w...
I do what manjar does - snap, then trim/cut the end to make it look pretty, and then vegetable peeler if it's a particularly thick stalk. Also, I slice all but the tips in relatively short p...
Other things you can make in foil packets: fish (we do salmon, but I'm guessing this works with other kinds as well), and BBQ chicken wings (messy, but good). Potatoes and corn on the cob work well...
I'm going to echo the "therapy" advice everyone else has given. If, after 10 years of the husband complaining, she hasn't made any attempt to work on the situation (not implying that she's in the w...

Thanks, rmmarty ! We'll try that!

My mom always used one when I was growing up. I never do. To each his own, I guess.
I love that blue and red flowered pitcher! Gorgeous!
