Write drunk, edit sober! I like to write things that don't require a lot of in depth research with a nice beer or two, but NEVER send it to my editor without a nice, sober read through or two. Can a Cocktail Make You More Creative? |

OR whatever you'd call him. A genocider? You get my drift though. Speaking of, have you read this fascinating article from one of Hilter's taste testing women who is now 95 years old? It's riveting. http://www.wistv.com/story/22087708/hitlers-food-taster-tells-of-poisoning-fears How Soft Shell Crabs Helped Me Teach My Children About Where Food Comes From |

When I was in middle school if my parents left before I did, I'd make ramen noodles for breakfast. I don't know why the secrecy made them taste better but mmm, those were some good breakfasts. Dinner for Breakfast: Why Not? |

Westbrook Brewery's White Thai is amazing. It has lemongrass and ginger root instead of the orange and coriander. Proudly brewed in SOUTH CAROLINA!!! http://westbrookbrewing.com/beers/year-round-beers/white-thai/ Summer Sips: 5 Wheat Beers Not to Miss Beer Sessions |

I was actually thinking about this earlier this week. I was predicting (to myself) that it would be a silvery gray color. Wayyy off. Pantone's Color of the Year for 2012 |

Use the type of alcohol you like. I hate Everclear (aka gasoline!) so I used high quality vodka. And the recipe I had called for soaking the lemons in vodka for about a day. I think 40 days is overkill! What Is the Best Way to Make Limoncello? Good Questions |

Move the white chair closer to the couch and put a tall, leafy green plant in a turquoise or shiny silver (maybe...) planter between the white chair and the fireplace. Then you won't need as huge of a piece, which will help with your budget, since the larger the more expensive it is. And I would go with something more vertical, or maybe 3-4 square panels that make up a whole picture (you know what I mean?) What Should I Do with Big Blank Living Room Wall? Good Questions |

I used to make my own yogurt which was delicious, but I discovered that Stoneyfield yogurt was just as good, and with a coupon, not too terribly expensive, so I gave up on making my own. Making my own ice cream- now that is totally worth it to me. So many flavor combinations! Make or Buy: What Do You Say? |

Add a little liquor (like Grand Marnier, or vodka) to it to keep it easily scoopable to eat later. It won't be as natural, but it will still be good anyways! 20-Minute Almond Berry Sorbet Recipe Review |
