That's funny. I own an icecube tray that is identical to the FRED tray - only I bought it two summers ago at Loblaws (Canadian grocery store) for $2. Apartment Therapy The Kitchen \| Target Rips Off FRED Friends? Flag this comment	5/5/08 5:12 PM
If giving your child an unusual name is cruel I'd like to say that having a "popular" name can be just as bad. When I was starting out in school my first name was in the top 10 names for girls at the time - the year there were three other girls with the same name as me in my class I just about developed whiplash and an identity crisis. When I'm older, my name will be as dated as Bertha and Bessie and and Ethel seem today. So please! Give your children wonderfully unique "unpopular" names. Heck, even the girls I knew named "Sunny Meadow Barnes" and "Crystal Day" turned out alright. Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Blogging the NY Times: What's in a Name? Flag this comment	3/14/08 6:58 PM
I just tried this recipe and it's fabulous, very moist and dense, and the chocolate gingerale frosting feels like it's fizzling on your tongue. I'd recommend cutting the pan into 24 squares instead of the 12 the recipe suggests though. Not only is the gingerbread so rich and dense that it makes polishing off a 1/12 slab challenging, but it weighs in at about 600 calories per slab at that portion size.

After viewing a slideshow for any of the house tours, clicking the link back to the main Apartment Therapy at the top of the page actually takes you to http://gallery.apartmenttherapy.com/ I'm going to echo a lot of the opinions already expressed. The new layout feels more cluttered, sterile and commercial than the old one. I preferred the left column layout and soft edges of the old design. Having the links to the Kitchen, Nursery, Tech, and Green sites at the top of the page is convenient so I hope that stays even after the "Welcome to our new design" announcement is gone. The new site names are a little tacky though - I'm not a fan of de-voweled, oddly-hyphenated, awkward site names ("ohdeedoh"? "re-nest" as a play on "re-cycle"?). What I DO like is the ability to click through to pages of older posts - that's fabulous. Apartment Therapy New York \| Welcome to AT 3.0! Flag this comment	12/3/07 5:46 PM
