My mom told me lychees would give me a nosebleed too! I never encountered anyone else who had heard that. I guess I'm not alone. Anyhow, it doesn't stop me from eating as many as I can when I can g...

Wow, what an opportunity! Wish I was there. I

Whether you want to call it art or craft or recycling, I think these are only marginally more interesting than the porcelain replicas of paper cups, plates, milk cartons that have flooded the marke...

Small city indeed. I forgot to mention in my last post that I don't just live on the same street, but the same block . Anyways, I don't have experience with succulents outdoors, since I only ...

Sour cherry pie! Yes!

Omg, Vgishn, do we live on the same street?? I was just about to post the exact same thing about the Capp Street Wind Tunnel!

I think it depends on the shape of the pasta as well. I bought a name brand (can't remember the brand) box of whole wheat penne and the mealy texture was very pronounced. The same brand's spaghetti...

I don't follow this season of Top Chef, but... Ok, making a wedding cake in one day deserves mad props, but that has to be the frumpiest looking wedding cake I've ever seen.

I bought a tube of anchovy paste, but it just isn't the same. It smells strange and lacks the "anchovy-ness" of real anchovies.

I think one big advantage of using these boxes is that they open from the side, not the top. If you have a bunch of shoeboxes stacked one atop the other, it's going to be a pain to get that pair of...

Wow, that's awesome. You can request envelopes from HP to mail them used ink cartridges, and Apple takes back old iPods (and gives you 10% off a new one), but it would be nice to just get rid of ev...

Ooh putting articles you like into binders is a terrific idea. But I can never make myself cut up all those pretty pages! For a while I had about 5 years' worth of MSL, and kept a mental catalog of...

That's such a great idea!

Hah at first glance I thought these were dilapidated wedding cakes.

Having a desk that's too high is the worst. Not only is it bad for your body, it always seems to look like I have less space, since I'm not looking down on my work surface. I don't know why... At w...

MMMMMM. Feta. My favorite is Israeli feta, which is harder to find, but is milder and creamier, with a spritzy tang. Wholefoods used to carry one, but has since discontinued it. I found one at a lo...

milo.delara, For the board in the pic, she probably made it, b/c I've never seen corkboard with such nice frames. You could probably buy a frame and then a sheet of cork that come in rolls, ...

My office does something similar to that hotel, except with just one shade instead of three. And it's hung upside-down.. Too bad I have a three-way strobe light in my bedroom... It's too big to cov...

Sugar sake soy sauce is a standard Japanese flavor combo.
