I don't know how they make these, so they might not be much less toxic, but another alternative might be those giant cardboard tubes used for shaping concrete:
One the one hand, I think a pasta measurer is a ridiculous kitchen implement. On the other hand, an old roommate left one behind and I use it way more than I like to admit, coz I'm terrible at eye...
I live in Chicago and I recognize this sort of space. It doesn't feel like a public space to me; it feels like part of my backyard (albeit a backyard I share with many other people). I think it's...
I am guessing that the driveway and this wall of the house are perpendicular to the road? It looks to me that if you were looking in from the street, there's nothing to stop your eye from looking ...
In a pinch, I've used it as a substitute for milk, cream, yogurt-type ingredients. If I'm making mac and cheese out of a box, the tang works pretty well in the cheese sauce. Also good: couscous m...

If you can't lighten the chairs, maybe you can dye or stain them instead of painting (depending on the material, of course). Minwax makes a gel stain that works on fiberglass and I've heard report...
I'd check for drafts in the doors too. I had a draft coming from the exterior door in my kitchen and once I plugged that up, the air and floor temperature in there both went up significantly. The...
I'm not sure this is even a typically Chinese thing (I think my family just really likes it), but there is ALWAYS a plate of pickled jellyfish on the table at Thanksgiving or Christmas or Fourth of...
I live in Hyde Park, Chicago; one side of my apartment faces the building's courtyard and the parking lot view from the other side is actually not bad at all! The businesses on the other side of t...
Slightly tangential: I'm a big fan of how Michael at cookingforengineers.com posts his recipes. In addition to a detailed recipe with photographs, there's a great little table thing at the bottom...
I have to confess, I rarely purchase or eat fresh mushrooms, but I LOVE the way the undersides of portobello mushrooms feel. I have been known, on occasion, to play with the mushrooms at the super...
