I think PartyLite candles are soy based (but don't quote me...ask a PartyLite consultant to be sure!).
I do know they don't smoke, and burn clean (no wax dripping, etc.). I know they ...
I turn my laptop off at night (or hibernate if I know I'll need it first thing).
At work we restart at the end of the day, but we have to leave the machines on so they are connected to...
I have my grandmother's set of china. It's a beautiful Lenox pattern in pastels and the soup dishes have wonderfully scalloped edges to them. So elegant.
My everyday dishes are Denby p...
I grew up on Cream of Wheat. My mom was always so careful to stir it constantly to make sure there were no lumps in it. :)
Frankly, I haven't met a hot cereal I don't like. I'm going t...
Besides the daily use appliances (coffee maker, toaster, grinder) and the too heavy/big to move appliances (microwave and KitchenAid stand mixer), there are always dishes, dishes, dishes. Either in...
Things I use daily or almost daily stay out. This includes the coffee maker, grinder, and toaster. The microwave stays out b/c I have no cabinet it fits in (note: for years I didn't even have one!)...
I take an entirely different approach. I decided a long time ago that it wasn't worth the time or effort to try and guess the shortest/quickest/whatever-est line or get upset if it's not what I wan...
Spinach. Great bang for your buck and so easy to add just a little bit to meals to add some extra nutrition. I frequently add a bit to my tomato sauce, dal, soups, etc. Anything where fresh would h...
I've become a big fan of the "Not your mother's slow cooker" series by Beth Hensperger. She's got one that's for small slow cookers, "Recipes for Two," that's got great stuff!

Ooh! I bet my local library might have some newspapers I could have as well. ::smacks forehead:: Duh. I'm a librarian. I should have thought of that.
As for the ink, I think newspapers...
I still cook, but in batches or one day a week. During the week I tend to make things that don't involve heating anything up, like a salad or sandwich.
So not true cooking, but rather ...
As my grandmother says, "just a little sumthin' sweet, just a bite." She always keeps a container on the counter with cookies or chocolates, and she has one piece after every meal. I am a product o...
I positively cannot stand anchovies, sardines, and licorice (including heavily anise flavored things). Also eel, especially in sushi.
I've tried, but can't even stand anchovies and sar...
I wish I had a second freezer. Doesn't need to be huge, something small (3 to 5 cu. ft.) that is the same height as a countertop so it does double duty would be perfect. Because with the meat from ...
Funny. I've had a blue set of the Target organics for quite some time now and I haven't had any of the problems listed above. Incredibly soft. No piling. And if you pull them out of the dryer when ...
I'm in the middle of deciding whether or not to sell my car. My previous neighborhood had no convenient public transit and pretty much nothing was walking distance. So I had to use my car regularly...
