Isn't it impolite to leave your phone on the table? Not just because you might check it. It's not appropriate to leave your keys or wallet or purse there either. Survey Says: We Think Everyone Is Staring At Our Phones |

Food is great. Cleaning help is great. Coming over to hold the baby (the fun part) while the mom tidies up, does laundry, cooks (the not fun part) is NOT nice. This was the kind of "help" my family provided, and it was awful. Reader Intelligence Request: Great Gifts for New Moms? |

I know. I know. It's totally true. I just love the feeling of drinking from a glass bottle (more than the improved aroma from a beer mug/glass). I'm used to the judging glances. Why You Should Drink Beer from a Glass Beer Sessions |

I have the bowl-lift, but grew up using my mom's tilt head. I wish these things broke so I could ditch my bowl-lift and buy a tilt head, which in my opinion, is superior. It's easier to use - easier to add ingredients, easier to scrape the bowl. It's also prettier from a design perspective. Should I Buy a Tilt-Head or Bowl-Lift KitchenAid Mixer? Good Questions |

I like this idea, but why that tape deck? I have a Trivoli radio that I plug my Ipod into and then I hide the Ipod behind the radio. It's not that apple makes ugly products, it's just that they look wierd in a living room. Hide away, but at least choose something with some style.

One way to make it "disappear" a little more might be to clear everything off the counters, over the cabinets, and on the fridge. Having lived in a studio, I know how hard that can be (where else to put it?), but you may be reacting the clutter as much as the fact that it's a ktichen. If you can manage it - I'd get decant your dishsoap and handsoap into plain glass bottles, neatly fold a single neutral towl on the handle of the oven, keep the clock and frying pans on the wall, and then get rid of literally every other visable thing.

The Perfex pepper mill is "almost" perfect because it's actually a pretty crummy peppermill. I have one, and adore it - it's beautiful. It's just not very good at actually grinding pepper. 10 Useful & Inspiring Gifts for New Cooks Holiday Gift Guide from The Kitchn |

Yup. I regularly buy 2 T. of pinenuts or 1/4 cup of dried cherries for a salad. If I were to buy a pound of pinenuts I'd snack on them, and I am not rich enough to be eating pinenuts for a snack. When Buying from Bulk Bins: It's OK to Buy Less |
