I grew up with the double sink method of filling one basin with water, doing the glasses first, then silverware, plates, then pots/pans. However, nowadays I just stack the dishes up to the side of ...

I made some delicous cinnamon ice cream from The Perfect Scoop over the Christmas holidays. That has probably been the 4th or 5th recipe that I've made from that particular cookbook and David Leibo...

I've never heard of the sandwich approach. My usual m.o. is to eat the cupcake from the bottom up-thereby eliminating some of the "cake" and allowing me to take bites that include frosting.

The mussells in white wine look divine.

Oh these are really cool.

Making heart shaped lemon cookies for my daughter's Valentines Day party at her day care next week.

I'm all for the pumpkin tortilla soup that was posted on this site a year ago. My only tweak to the recipe is that I add in a can of black beans. It's a great meal-healthy, savory and filling.

I would never think of giving a flop to friends/family and 99% of the time, we just salvage whatever disaster we cooked up and make the best of it. They can't all be winners and that is the best wa...

I use Method's granite counter top cleaner and while I do get some streaks, it's not that big of a deal to me. I was under the impression that I could not use Windex so I've always just gone w/a cl...

I love this idea-thank you!

I think risotto is something you just have to stir constantly and I enjoy it. I pour myself a glass of wine and sip while I am stirring, sometimes putzing around the kitchen with my spare hand.

I love grocery shopping so would never think to 'farm' this out to someone else.

I grew up a member of the clean plate club but it was more self-imposed than enforced;if I enjoy what I am eating-I finish each and every bite. But, i do employ this tactic when I am eating out-esp...

Zuni style is my preferred method. I've never heard of Jamie Oliver's braised in milk recipe but to be honest, it doesn't sound all that appetizing.

Our rabbit gets the most use but a waiters corkscrew is the only way to remove the synthetic corks w/out breaking the parts on the rabbit as we've already gone through one of those (replaced gratis...

I must be the only one who did not have success with the banana ice cream. It wasn't even the slightest bit creamy like regular or low-fat ice cream is. I'd love to try this genius idea however, wh...

I grew up with my mom making this for my father and only one word comes to mind when I think of it "yuck". Didn't like it then and even now, with my 'expanded' palette, I still can't stand it.

One technique I've always counted on when using raw onions in dishes is to soak the cut up onion in either cold water or vingegar (if using them in a salad) prior to adding them to the finished dish.

I plan to make a couple of recipes from Julia's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume 1. The classic Beef Bourguignon and the Reine de Saba; with no variations or shortcuts. I'm really lookin...

Tonight is either homemade pizza or tacos; tomorrow is grilled flank steak with polenta and roasted beets and turnips. I'm really craving some steak so looking forward to tomorrow nights meal.
