Love me some Morbier! but, IMO (in case anyone wondered, or has tried it and didn't like it), the Morbier sold at Trader Joe's tastes nothing like the real thing. I was excited to find...

@ mrhenry: Here's a blogpost about brewing cider that I bookmarked earlier this summer as something to try: http://www.s...

depending what oven you have, it might even have a drying function built in - ours does. Not that I've ever used it, but it's there should I some day feel the need :o)

thanks bepsf. my vintage lamp came with a too small shade (as you say, it's pretty evident). I'll try your formula and see where that gets me....it probably won't be worse than what I'...

good topic....anyone have suggestions/resources for the best way to calculate if a lampshade is proportional to the base (other than trial and error)?

also great for energy conservation....assuming you organize your cold items efficiently, you won't be letting all of the cold air pour out of the entire fridge when you open the door to get the mil...

the legs on the Camel Table remind me of the legs on the IKEA Poang chairs. I wonder if a hack is possible?

I don't know about getting already purchased granola to clump (I would probably just call it a loss and use it to make a fruit crumble or cookies), but the best recipe I have found for nice clumpi...

@ alisaan: As noted in the last line of the post, the chair is the Brommo deck chair from Ikea. I have two of them and love, love, love them.

@ThatGrrl, you're right. Looks like it's a Vika Amon top ($45), with the Vika Fintorp legs ($30).

although beautiful, I have serious doubts as to well those curtains would actually work to keep out mosquitoes. They might deter moths and other bugs drawn to the light, but if mosquitoes are a ser...

I second the suggestion to look at Duravit. Their Vero Handrinse basin is a much nicer version of this concept - and comes out only 8' from the wall.

If you're looking for easier laundry detergent options, try Dropps. You can take as many as you need with you (just put them in a crush-proof container. I don't bother with dryer shee...

I don't know what you can do with it, but this question made me think of a article in Cooking Light that compared nutrients in Greek vs regular yogurt - the greek had way less calcium (presumably l...

Nice idea, but I think that fold-out shelf is much too small to re-pot plants on. At least for me - but maybe I'm more mess than the average gardener. I can see potting soil going everywhere...espe...

is it just me, or are both of those examples really tall for headboards? They seem a little out of proportion. Of the two, I like the idea of the first one the best, but I would proba...

I love granola bars - and love making my own so that I can control what goes in them/how sweet they are. My current favorite recipe is from Heidi at 101cookbooks (I use the one in her...

~$4 for 2 lbs seems really cheap for mussels. In Seattle (right next to where Penn Cove mussels are farmed) they seem to run about $4-$6/lb. Still not super expensive, but definitely not as cheap a...

those look like vintage DUX chairs....agree, they are lovely.

@Emilyg - like Marthag said, if you have the tare weight for your bags, then the cashiers won't need to remove the items while ringing them up (cashiers have told me that it is illegal for them to ...
