Sandwich method all the way!

First off, I'd say it's less about being a "good neighbor" and more about being a safe resident to be watchful and mindful of what goes on around you. The last thing you want is a crack den going u...

Apparently I'm a bad cast-iron owner. I will use this to be more worthy of my Griswold. I use soapy water (though I don't soak)...I've used steel wool on extra stuck-on food...I put it in the...

Thank you Sox - I was wondering why it took so long for someone to say that. :) My family cats would be over that gate in a heartbeat. Especially if there was food on the other side (doesn't...

I dunno - I think it's a great place, it looks fun and inviting. Though I must say that while I like the colorful "before," I really like the "after." And thanks for posting where you got th...

"Preparing cardoons takes a bit of work, but it is worth it." Yeah...I'm all for expanding my culinary horizons, but when I got to the part that said, "Now the cardoons are ready for ...

I hate wasting food. Period. I'll take a smaller portion, I'll save little bitty leftovers, put on an extra pound, whatever - as long as I don't waste food. I also grew up in a "if you don'...

I am very excited to try this recipe - I love scallion pancakes!

If I haven't decided what I'm going to wear by the time I wake up, I stay in bed "thinking" about what to wear. I tell myself I'm "visualizing" my closet, which absolutely requires me to shut my ey...

T-shirt & shorts/boxers all year 'round. Sometimes just a t-shirt. :)

I tried the roasted cabbage & bacon recipe...not tricky, but a whole new way of looking at cabbage that doesn't involve cole slaw or soup. :) Speaking of soup, before the month is out (i.e. t...

I also commend you on your use of space - I know I couldn't do it. And while I agree that a more cohesive color palette and higher shevling would help make the space feel more, well, ...

I'm also single and a big fan of using the space in my fridge for extra storage. I keep my pasta in there owing to lack of cabinet space. I also keep my bread in there - and haven't noticed it goin...

I moved into a new house recently that has mirrored closet doors - I'm in the room, it's set up, it's decorated, and I still have plans to remove/change them. There's nothing inherently wrong with ...

The pocket door probably doesn't go all the way back to the sink, so maybe instal some shelves in that corner. I agree with earlier posts - bring in color with curtains or some other window t...

I'm with mattab & Anna. All I could focus on in that picture was that it's not a GFCI outlet! Which is a shame, because they really did an amazing job for $3500!

The sheep crack me up. Love it! (And my first thought for pic 1 was also to center the dresser. :) )

Absolutely. The other 11 months of the year I shy away from stuffed animal decorating (except for maybe one or two sentimental ones in my bedroom), so when the Christmas season rolls around, plush ...

@ greenandsimple - thanks for the tip, I was contemplating getting a small potted tree and was considering my options for it post-holiday. I'm not a fan of cutting down a tree just to...

Reading the description before looking at the pictures, I was expecting something much worse, especially in the reception room. I feel like I've seen much crazier things on AT, they j...
