How frustrating to see Anna's photo credited to the wrong person, someone who snatched it without permission. I hope that you'll change the link to Anna's site.

I will check it out because Nate is one of my gay crushes and he seems so sweet. Now, whether I take his advice is an entirely different story. Like someone above me said, I'll stick with Apartme...

I lightly scrub and/or peel them, cut into quarters or eighths, lightly coat in olive oil, add salt/pepper, and roast between 400 and 450 degrees until desired caramelization is reached. I fin the...

I just roasted brussel sprouts for an evening snack ... for the second night in a row! They were my most-hated vegetable as a child, but I found that roasting cures most all vegetable fears. Yum.

I have a few feet of snow, so I think that I could line my front walk with them. Very cool idea.

I looked at the recipe more closely after leaving my comment and then I saw the disclaimer. D'oh! I'll definitely give it a try with another beer.

I'm bookmarking this post for later reference, but I must point out that bullet #5 is NOT vegetarian or vegan. Guinness beer is made using isinglass (fish bladder), so us diehards might want to av...

I have the dual-ended spatula and I like it quite a bit. My only advice would be to be careful where you put it in the dishwasher. Mine got quite beat up from being near other utensils.

I was an on-again, off-again vegan for a decade. I made poor food choices as a vegan and/or vegetarian, like lots of processed fake meats. Last year, I decided to give the Quantum Wellness cleans...

My daughter (16) and I have long had a tradition of standing around the kitchen and sharing a pomegranate. (I slice through the rind, essentially halving it, and then twist it apart, like an avoca...

Yay, Wisconsin. I am a life-long Wisconsinite, and I love it here. I adore autumn and winter, but I'd really like to have another month or so of heirloom tomatoes. Th...

Are those marbles in the first photo?! I think I'm in love.

This last weekend, I picked up a few pounds at the local farmer's market. They were so pretty, that I had to take a photo too. You can see them here:

What I usually do is to put vinegar in a small, shallow bowl, but then I put oil or butter on the edge of the dish. When the flies land, they get stuck.

Hmm, let me try again:

My favorite fish taco recipe is also from MSL, but from the now defunct Blueprint magazine and it's really a fantastic recipe using grilled fish. Check it out HERE .

I absolutely loved these as a kid. I think my mom sold them at a garage sale. Her idea. *shakes fist at Mom*

Well, my husband is the griller in this family (I prep the food), and he has a tendency to either undercook or overcook my steak ... SO, I would like him to make me a true MEDIUM-RARE steak. Yum.

Lemon verbena is, hands down, my favorite Mrs. Meyer's scent.

Yes, learn how to mince, people, because a garlic press is SO evil. Everytime you use one, Julia Child rolls over in her grave and angels cry. Or, something like that.
