I think I must be the only one who thinks that looks tacky.

I just picked up 7 flats (42 pints) of organic strawberries from a local farmer's market vendor, then taught some friends how to make strawberry jam. We made different variations too: regular, ta...

It's definitely one of my criteria. Luckily, we live within 1 mile of 6 grocery stores, including our favorite coop.

Hmmm where did my comment from 2 days ago go?

I saw it last weekend during SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival). It was a great roundup of a lot of the messages out there: Michael Pollan, Polyface Farm, Eric Schlosser, etc. An interes...

Daily, I set aside about an hour for cooking from scratch. It's turned into my hobby, and we really have reaped the benefits of eating healthier in physical and mental improvements. Occasionally,...

A kitchen window will be mandatory when we buy a house. 2 apartments in a row w/ no kitchen window.

We didn't do favors at all and most people didn't miss em. Those that noticed said that it was nice that they didn't have something they would just throw away, no offense to those that put a lot o...

Very disappointed in the link to camping recipes. Most of them are displayed in a household setting, and quite a few of them require assembly before camping (such as the very good cornbread, which...

4 bottles of dish soap?

@jplee , your comment is worrisome. I wish you luck, but hope that you reconsider buying with what you've outlined. You shouldn't have to spend everything you have and not have any savings...what...

When I started cooking on my own, I have discovered dozens of things that I now love. This includes onion, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, curries, spicy food, ect.

What about exposing the spices to light on a daily basis? I love the idea of these shelves, but spices should be in dark spaces.

Asparagus. I refuse to buy it until it's local to Seattle.

My husband and I are mostly vegetarian depending on the season, if you can believe that. Starting around late spring through early winter we eat 99% of our meals lacto-ovo vegetarian, with the 1% ...

I've been using my laptop in the kitchen for 3 years now (2 different ones, as I upgraded a year ago). Just keep a slightly damp sponge handy to wipe spills quickly, be ready to move it if you are...
