I read a great tip in a cookbook from Laura Calder: when a recipe has you blind bake a crust, you need to fill it with weights all the way up the sides , not just to cover the bottom. The wei...
Ditto on the dry immediately and put away immediately. It's too dangerous to leave them hanging out on the counter or in the dish drainer, and it protects them, too.
Absolutely it's necessary. I don't want some distant relative taking my mother's place next to me at the table, or worse, sitting down at one of the ends (heads) of the table. I think it becomes ev...
I dried some pretty leaves a couple weeks ago and will be using them for place cards. I bought some glitter pens for writing on them--I got the idea from an old Martha Stewart issue. I love #2 though!
Uh, ok Mary165-never-posted-before-on-AT, thanks for your opinion and accusations of everyone just being jealous.
Anyway, I didn't even think of the weird connotations until everyone p...
I just had my knives sharpened last week--I sent them to Seattle Knife Sharpening, and I am very happy with the results. I mailed them on Monday and got them back on Thursday so I didn't even have ...
I'm baking sourdough bread this morning, and we'll have it with a kale/sausage/potato soup for dinner tonight. I'm thinking about a chicken curry for tomorrow using some curry paste I froze when ch...
Tomorrow it's bread, pizza dough (for the freezer), carrot cake, and ricotta gnocchi. I'm thinking of a butternut squash galette for Sunday--maybe with bacon, sage, and parmesan.
I love having company in the kitchen! Especially at Thanksgiving, so I don't feel I'm missing out on conversation, etc. If my kitchen were smaller, though, I would rely on my partner to keep everyo...
@ indigoartisanry, if you're horrified, contact the company and express that. Start a petition, tell everyone you know about it and encourage them to do the same.

Definitely remove the cleaning supplies and put them away from your food--also, consider how many different ones you really need. All I have for cleaning is an all-purpose spray (Biokleen), baking ...
@ art, that sounds just delicious. Decadent, too.
I have a vague plan for a pork roast with quinces, but I'm not sure how I'm going to put it all together. Tonight I think we're doing ...
The epicurious link is the wrong one! I made a lasagna last week with roasted butternut squash, spicy sausage in tomato sauce, and a layer of cooked spinach mixed with ricotta. I loved it.
I plan on tiling my gross brown countertops as soon as I can get the tools, etc. from my mother. Seconds can be bought for a good price, and if my mother can tile her bathroom, anyone can do it!

LOVE the circle felt runner...but I think I'll make my own. I think it would be a fun project.

Excellent post, Nora. Thanks for the information.
If you're lucky enough to still have good eggplants in season, this lentil dish is amazing: http://s...
