I'm used to shopping around the perimeter of a store-- fresh produce, fish or meats, dairy, fresh bread, with occasional forays into the middle for things like olive oil or grains. So I think I wo...

This makes me angry, because it's offensive that a publication aimed at women has to be pink (and oh, by the way, did you notice that not one but two cover articles were related to being fat or get...

Lovelainie-- I've heard growing potatoes helps break up clay soil. I don't know for sure if that's true, but it might be worth looking into.

We have pocket doors in our current apartment that we almost never close, so when we do, it feels like there's a weird blank space. But otherwise I think they're really nice.

I like all of the above, with sweet baked goods being my least favorite. I LOVE the smell of onions cooking. Although I love fish, the smell of salmon gets old quickly for me, as do...

I HATE leafblowers. Snowblowers I sort of dislike, but can accept, because shoveling snow can be difficult (I know, I shovel) and because the chances that someone will clear a wide enough path for...

Meh on the decor. I'm also not sure the photos selected to go with the post give a terribly good sense of the space.

I think the real way to reduce disposable-bag use is to charge for them. If there's an actual cost for not getting around to bringing your own bags with you, people might actually start rememberin...

We have an oriental rug very much like that one in our kitchen. Ours isn't as close to the work spaces, but it's really similar. I have a very simple, somewhat blocky butcher block table and whit...

Mine's wired in to the ceiling, but it goes off every time I roast anything. I hate it. I've had some luck with closing the sliding doors between the kitchen and living room and waving a dishrag ...

That can't be $18 a pound for something that I used to pick from the backyard, can it? I felt guilty when I bought some rhubard for $3/pound this weekend (I love rhubarb and I ran out of my frozen...

Cardamom! (or salt)

They also have wonderful ricotta.

I stop in here every time I go to SF, I LOVE it. And epsi1on is right, the Mt. Tam is delicious.

Word, spaceagemouse.

I feel so guilty about food waste! I totally agree with Dan about the frustration of herb-waste and also his solution. I started putting unwashed greens in loose plastic bags (it helps if they're...

I just made a beet salad with baby spinach, beets (steamed, peeled and cut into wedges), blood orange slices, and goat cheese. The dressing was the rest of the juice left over from cutting the blo...

I used to have the shallow oval spoons, but bought the OXO set a year or so ago. They're fabulous, except that they don't have ml conversions. I find the metric conversions help me if I'm dividin...

That's great, and a lovely photo, but "which highlights Ursula, myself (Maxwell) and Sara Kate" is bad, bad, bad grammar. In that case, you could have said that the article "highlights Ursula, Sar...

I can't wait until the rhubarb comes in-- my favorite breakfast in the world is toast with ricotta and rhubarb/strawberry compote (still chunky though!). I've been craving it recently and this pos...
