Great ideas. I have a pile of towels and a set of sheets that are too worn out for normal use and we are up to our necks in rags made from old textiles (we can only store so many in our small condo...
The cashier at TJ's told me they are going to only sell TJ's brand stuff eventually. I was sad when I got an e-mail from King Arthur announcing that TJ's was no longer carrying their flour--I hated...
I have ordered from Penzeys for years and when a store finally went in near us I could not have been happier! The unfortunate thing is the store is not in an ideal location--it is not near a metro ...
Mine is a combo perpetual/categorical. I have a list on the fridge but I add the item to an approximate category. Bananas go at the top of the list because they are right inside the door, yogurt is...
I do a lot of baking but don't go through specialty flours very quickly. I keep all-purpose flour in the pantry, whole wheat flour in the refrigerator, and everything else (whole wheat pastry flour...
My father-in-law gave us a set of 4 place settings of Nikko christmas tree plates. I don't like them at all. If I was into seasonal place settings, it would not be these. And 4 place settings are c...
I am afraid of canning and don't have the right equipment, so I am freezing as much produce as possible. I will probably make some tomato sauce, depending on the types of tomatoes we get from the C...
Decent counter space
Gas stove
NO STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES
I would love:
natural light
somewhere to put cookbooks
eat-in area, even small
pantry o...
How interesting! I wish I lived near the performances! I am completely fascinated by victory gardens and actually posted about them recently on my blog, www.classiccookery.blogspot.com
We switched to ww pasta years ago, when it wasn't as good. Now we are so used to it that white pasta doesn't taste right. I generally buy the Trader Joe's organic whole wheat pasta, but sometimes I...
I would give this a try. Our shower and sinks periodically back up at the same time and I can't figure out why. I don't know if they are tied to other condos at some point and the back up is so bad...
Like v in Boston, this makes me a little sad, too. We used to have a house in the exurbs with a huge garden--rhubarb, horseradish, tomatoes, strawberries, zucchini, peppers, herbs, a little bit of ...
Every couple months I take them back to the dry cleaners and every time I do the woman at the front laments that most people are too lazy to bring them back. I'm sure some people use them, but we w...
I think this is a good idea, but I read a suggestion somewhere that you can put chopsticks in a glass for the same purpose. I just turn mine inside out and they stand on their own on a towel.
I have 50 or so now. A few years ago I donated a couple dozen that used a lot of processed food as ingredients or other books that just didn't work for me.
My newest collection is act...
I love Tassajara and the King Arthur whole grain book. I started with the Laurel's Kitchen bread book, but am not so crazy about it anymore. I've checked a couple others out from the library but ne...
Very interesting about the yogurt. I've never thought to freeze it, either. Every few months I just bought a new small container and used it as starter.
My freezer has: Trader Joe's pu...
Pomelos are my favorite fruit, or at least tied with mangoes. When I was 19 I worked on a kibbutz in Israel and we ate them straight from the orchard, but I couldn't find them for years here. Now, ...

Yikes! $18! I buy them at Trader Joe's for much less, though I haven't seen them yet this year.
Oh--forgot to say to the Christina, they are super easy to peel. The skin is thick, but you just dig your finger in and it peels away easily!
