@amendelblatt - but that's the point, using the Kcups isn't wasteful in comparison to other things almost everyone does, and it's absolutely absurd to try and pretend that people's opposition to them is because of some environmental reason. It's snobbery, pure and simple. $51 Per Pound: The Deceptive Cost of Single-Serve Coffee The New York Times |

How many of you environmentalists drive to work? You've burned 500 times more petroleum just backing out of your driveway than a Kcup uses. $51 Per Pound: The Deceptive Cost of Single-Serve Coffee The New York Times |

My increasingly extreme paranoia of food additives is causing me to basically make everything from scratch (I even whipped up freaking hamburger buns last night). Boxed cakes are a wee bit more convenient, but the chemical additives frighten the hell out of me. Make or Buy? Cake Mix vs. Homemade |

While I don't expect lasagna to be the healthiest of meal choices, this would seriously add a lot of calories to it. I typically use nine noodles in a pan which yields six large servings. This technique would add almost 600 calories to a pan. I think I'll just continue to be careful about how I cut it and use two spatulas :) Better Lasagna: Try Weaving the Noodles |

Inform and offer to bring a dish. Hosts, if you decline this offer, you are required to offer a good main dish - "substantial sides" are a poor substitute and it's a rude way to treat your guests. Vegetarian Etiquette: The Dinner Party Dilemma | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |

I made this tonight, with the mayo. My god, was it good. I used about 1.5 T of champaign vinegar, but other than that I stayed the same. Mmmm. This Rivals Ranch: Two-Minute, Creamy Salad Dressing | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |

If you've ever had homebrew, you've had bottle-conditioned beer. It's also why homebrew beers can get significantly stronger the longer you let them stay in your fridge. What's the Deal with Bottle-Conditioned Beers? Beer Sessions | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |

Put the bread in a straight-sided container that has been well greased and place in your (off) oven, uncovered, along with a large baking pan that is full of steaming hot water. The warmth of the oven will help the rise and the steam will keep the dough moist. How to Keep Rising Bread Dough from Sticking? Good Questions | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |
