I made the rosemary citrus sparkler listed above for a party and it is awesome. I keep a bottle of the rosemary citrus simple syrup in the refrigerator at all times now. Just add a splash of gin or vodka to make it a cocktail. Ideas for an Easy, Crowd-Friendly Cocktail for My Wedding Reception? Good Questions |

Non cream pies will keep out of a refrigerator for a few hours and travel well in the boxes that you can pick up from any cake shop or bakery (I think we paid $5 for 12 boxes). Ideas for Homemade Wedding Desserts That Travel Well? Good Questions |

Instead of getting a wall divider (unless you want an expedit for the storage) try turning you bed 180 degrees so the headboard faces out. Then put a side table and a chair up against the back of the headboard next to the couch. Instant room divider! Layout Ideas for 500 Square Foot Studio? Good Questions |

I have that stool! We got it for $10 at a thrift store in upstate NY. It has its original "American Stool Company" sticker on the bottom of the wood and is is terrific shape, so I will not be spray painting it ever! Before & After: Charlotte's Flea Market Find Makeover |

Every morning after I fry an egg, I toss a large handful of arugula in the pan and saute it until it is wilted. I like arugula better than spinach because it has less liquid, so it doesn't come out of the pan watery. What Vegetables Should I Keep On Hand For Breakfast? Good Questions |

What about floating your couch in the middle and putting your TV/media on the wall between the fireplace and sunroom entrance. Then you could put bookshelves, or a desk area behind the couch. It would help if you specified what function you want the room to have- just TV watching? Or socializing, working, etc. Arrangement Ideas For Room with No Focal Point? Good Questions |

We bought a nice, heavy calphalon set which includes 4 different sizes of saute pans, but we only ever use the sauce pans. Everything else gets made in one of our cast iron pans. My advice, keep your stainless steel sauce pans, get 2 different size cast iron skillets (everyone will tell you to get one at a thrift store, but honestly the one we got at Target is the best), and make bacon every weekend for a 2 months, pour out the grease and wipe the pan with paper towels.

I just made this (substituting cheddar for the parmesan and asparagus for the artichokes) and it all came together well, but it is really thin, less then an inch high thin. I recommend doubling the recipe, making in the same pan and cooking it for longer. Recipe: Artichoke, Kale & Ricotta Pie Six Ingredients (and Salt) |

After I fry an egg or make scrambled eggs I throw a couple handfuls of arugula or spinach in the pan with a splash of water. The greens steam, and the moisture cleans the pan.
