Cinnamon stick, usually. Sometimes a couple whole cloves and peppercorns instead. We have a $15 rice cooker we bought at Target and we use it for everything from rice to quinoa. Makes ...

The bacon/pudding thing looks disgusting!

We peel everything now that we have a 1-year-old, who can't yet handle the texture of skin. I forgot how luxurious and elegant skinned mashed-potatoes and braised carrots could be! I might be conve...

I like the bathroom/garage idea. And I think it's great that you're trying to respect them, even if you two don't care for the firefighter garb. You don't want your kids to break thing...

Lovely. And, as a writer, it warms my heart to see so many books in the house.

Well done! We have the same Ikea crib for our 13-month-old son, purchased for the same reason.

I'm impressed that you stuck with your purchase and found a way to make it beautiful. It adds a pop of color without overpowering the room. Kudos!

Those photos are lovely. Heading over to Etsy...

I like making stock in the slow-cooker. Also, Rick Bayless' Mexican Everyday has TONS of slow-cooker recipes. It was, in the end, his cookbook that made me so happy to have one.

No TV = No issue with where to put the TV! When we want to watch something, we just pop our laptop on the coffee table. But we're not big watchers (once every week, maybe once every other week), so...

Pac-Man eating a diamond? Sacre bleu!

What is this "5 shelf closet hanging thing" of which you all speak?
