@KitchnCartel... I don't have the KA attachment yet so I don't know if this recipe will do what you want, but I always use the Pasta Fresca from here: http://www.seattlepi.com/food/193836_lasagna06.html

Good luck with it!

Thanks for an interesting post! I went and read the McGee article (both pages of it) and found it incredibly fascinating. Definitely food for thought!

I'm willing to try almost anything to keep from crying and whining while chopping onions! So far the very best method I've found is using a food processor. It would be nice to have something up my sleeve though for when I only need to chop, say half an onion.

I just made scrambled eggs in a stainless steel pan. Normally we use our cast iron but I had started out to make something else and changed my mind. The pan was already hot and so was the oil, so I just went for it. I was sure they would stick, but they didn't, and clean-up was easy. It had to be the hot pan/hot fat combination, and possibly also the fact that there was more oil in the pan than I would normally use for eggs.

These look really tasty!

They did a fantastic job of making that kitchen a nicer place to be in and work in. I love that glass tile back-splash. As a renter, I would much rather move into a place with a kitchen that looks like the "after" photo than the "before" photo!

After not having a dishwasher for years, I was so happy that our new place had one... until I tried to load it. Our dinner plates can't stand up in the bottom rack. I can fit 4 of them in if they're practically laying down overlapping, but then what's the point? I can hand wash them in the amount of time it takes to try and fit them in. No big pots, pans, bowls or colanders will fit on the bottom either. And our wine glasses won't fit in the top rack. Too tall. These are not extreme-sized dishes and glasses... it's just a poorly designed dishwasher I guess (full sized too). I find it ironic that all the stuff I really wanted the dishwasher for, won't fit inside it.

Just removing the plastic paper-towel holder under the cabinets did wonders! That was the first thing I did last time we moved, except "ours" was country-esque pine. Love the backsplash idea! It really sparks the whole look. Great job!

I've been wanting to try making marmalade as well. Would I do this technique first and then slice the rind from the pith?

I've never really taken to the two different silicone brushes I have but I keep them around since they won't melt (or burn) if used in hot pans. As for the bristle brushes, they're cheap enough, so I buy a few of them and write what they're for on the handle with a sharpie (ie. "pastry only" etc.). For some applications they really are best. Love the zester and grinder cleaning ideas!
