Cupcake stand? Barf! Don't buy that space-hogging unitasker. I was going to suggest a simple arrangement on a platter, but the previous posts of tiered plates seem like good hacks.

I've had great luck with Northern Brewer (http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing), both for equipment and extract kits (I'm not up for whole grain yet). I have a St. Paul Porter fermenting right no...

Barf. I love Alton, but come on, too much propaganda for me.

I too enjoy Boulevard, but I'm not sure about the 'best beer in the midwest' comment :-P

Another vote for an immersion blender. I have the kitchen aid one, and making smoothies in the included 'blending beaker' is perfect, and definitely quieter than my Oster blender. I don't add ic...

I love CS teas. I grew up on Wild Berry Zinger. My brother and I liked it because it tasted like fruit snacks. We nicknamed it 'fun fruit tea'. I enjoy the zingers still, as well ...

I've had great luck with my Oster. Simple, easy to clean, and blends pretty darn well. It can be noisy and may walk across the counter when blending stiff things.

I store them in the freezer. No issues at all for me.

I have 2 of the OXO scoops and use them for cookies, muffins, waffle batter, and more. I like having 2 sizes (medium and large, I believe). They have always performed flawlessly for me, I make su...

Totally unnecessary. I think sometimes All-Clad likes to make something just so Williams-sonoma can sell it. And I like All-clad and Williams-sonoma! Unitasker I don't want to own or store (nor ...

I use this method on my cast iron skillet with success all the time. I believe I learned it from Alton Brown, the source of all things nerdy and good.

I usually have a giant costco sized jar in the fridge (they're really cheap that way). I love them on pizza too.

Wow. Awesome kitchen.

Interesting math analysis. Totally unnecessary since it's a known fact: whichever line I pick will be the slowest :P

I'm partial to the Gnarly Head Zin. Very tasty!

Clean the kitchen, check/reply to emails, listen to the radio, read a magazine/newspaper, watch TV, talk on the phone.

I use one all the time, in between the burners of my stove. It is a freestanding range with no counters next to it so the spoon rest helps me keep everything clean and my utensil within easy reach...

I have fond memories of picking ollalieberries with my family. My mom would (and still does) make jelly out of them and I beg for some every time I go home to visit. I even found wh...

I'd like to know the best way to clean them. I don't use soap but it can still be a little greasy from the cookies or whatever I'm baking. I hear soap permeates the mat and won't fully rinse out.

The engineer in me says to use the easiest way for your friend... both sets of units. She can use her US measuring cups/spoons or metric ones. For example 1 cup (250mL) Ingredient 1...
