I have an awful gingersnap addiction. I have to limit myself. I grap container of them and a glass of milk. I allow myself unlimited consumption until I absolutely have to take a drink of milk.....

Please, Please. If someone knows how this staircase was done and was able to make it past a zoning board let me know. As a architect, I haven't been able to get anything close to this passed as i...

Breathtaking. What a beautiful thing to wake up to.

I have to admit, verplanck brings up some good points. However, to those points, would a Britta or Pur be any better? I think any pitcher filtration system is only going to do so much. Perhaps t...

Over the years I've been coming to the belief that a ktichen is primarily "workspace". With workspace most of the time, form should follow function. If you don't need it, or don't miss it, then w...

I completely agree with using a "blow torch" instead of a kitchen torch. My hardware store had them for a third of the price of kitchen torches.

Thanks!

Anne (in reno) - We've suffered no ill effects from it (so far, HA). I'm not a microbiologist and I might even be a renegade when it comes to food safety (i.e. making homemade creme fraiche) but ...

This is a repost of something I said on a related subject: "One handy trick I use (and am quite proud of) is getting around that fact that I might be at work when the crock-pot needs t...

We add one more step to the standard of the olive oil and the sea salt. Slice it length-wise before seasoning, and place one bay leaf (fresh if you grow them) between the two halves before wrappin...

MGood - on durability, I've had two crock-pots in my life and they are both still with me(One was my mothers so I don't think you have much to worry about on that). Also, the basic technology hasn...

I hate to point out something of a technicality, but anyone from the South (and elsewhere) will tell you that grits is a singular item. Although it’s a VERY common mistake these ...

Two items I love to have. 1) a good savory quiche, a perfect breakfast food that can reheated for a light lunch or dinner. 2) home-made snack bars, something full of oats and nuts. They're trans...

Ingenious! I wish I was 24 again so I could justify this kind of work. I love it.

:-( So sad that so many have been programmed to dislike the understated beauty of calm tones and hues. It can allow the beauty of objects and spaces to speak for themselves. Do not confuse poor ...

This is hands down our favorite recipe for celeriac: Celeriac and Potato Gratin a l'orange 1.75 lbs. Potatoes 1.25 lbs. celeriac or turnip 1T butter 1...

I agree with "hotelsanmiguel". If you are someone who is a milk lover this will leave you a bit disappointed if you're looking for a glass of milk to drink. It does have a "cooked" taste to it. ...
