I also second the boiled frostings. I guess this isn't really a tutorial but I would love more cookbook reviews as well. I'm always on the lookout to expand my food literature.

Oh my God! I just made this for dinner and you have know idea how floored I was by this. It's one of the simplest and most delicious meals I've ever made!

I LOVE diary just as much as I love soy! They both have benefits and detriments to overall health, but doesn't the word "balanced diet" mean you can eat and enjoy both in moderation?

Late Victorian, Modernism, foreign cookbooks, French-language texts, dictionaries, travel, art books – once I read something I just amass it forever

I never remember learning how to use utensils, but I've always used the European method. My mum's family's British so she learned from her mother and aunties, and then she taught my sister and I. Whenever I travel to Europe, the waiters at restaurants ask me what part of Britain I'm from. I guess they're more adept at pinpointing the differences between the British and the Americans, even down to our cutlery skills.

I love my 1948 school globe and don't care if it's a fad.

The concept sounds similar to waffles Liège; chewy yeasty inside, crusty caramel-y outside. And waffles Liège are made with butter and egg yolk.

My older sister gave our parents one of these for Christmas. She loves it for some reason, but our parents barely use it at all. It's just a useless countertop appliance for them, considering that they're tea drinkers…

From reading the Trex website, it claims to be trans-fat free. Any can substantiate these claims?

All of these remind me of the Anglo-Indian tiffin… which is sadly absent from this round-up. There are some very stylish ones on the market now.

Seeing as how most of these recipes aren't even in english, and the first one in the pack doesn't use mayonnaise or whipped cream… I'm not so sure from where all this disgust is coming. Look at the Panini Happy post again. That sandwich looks läckra!

That is a good point scs68.

While on the topic of hardwired smoke detectors, what's the truth about them. I've heard in the event of a power surge, the smoke alarms can trip and fail because they're connected to the home grid, rendering them useless.

I agree with Indy Jeffrey. Smoke alarms are designed to protect us from DYING in the event of a house fire. Do they really need to look pretty?

I like these ideas quite well. Another idea of my own: bundle strands of red string lights in an unused fire pit for the winter and light at night!
