Where did you get the crib? It looks...not ginormous.

No matter what I do when I blind bake I STILL get shrinkage (I chill AND use pie weights). I've heard people say you should leave the crust with a bit of an overhang, but then how do you flute it or otherwise make it look pretty?

Anyone got ideas for adapting this to a slow cooker?

You take the middle of a normal brownie, mix it with mayo/mustard and the squish it back into the brownie. Top with paprika.

Eww, is this really Teflon? I hope not. Can you roll pie crust out in this stuff?

Am I the only person in the world whose Cuisinart spews flour from its sides? Every single time I pulse dry ingredients I end up with flour sprinkled all over my (very small) counter and the produce I keep on it.

I won't be serving hard cider, but there is some in my brine and I reduced some into a syrup for my gravy.

While I think there was less produced this year, I have not noticed any shortage whatsoever. Every place I've gone has been STOCKED. I think Nestle's PR department is seriously pushing this story.

This is what we drink at our house (thanks to my English partner). They sell it for a mark-up at a lot of fancy shops here in Brooklyn or the Brit shops in Manhattan, but Fairway carries it for a good price.

I'm determined to find a way to replicate Hell's Kitchen's (in Minneapolis) Mahnomin Porridge and I'm pretty sure a slow cooker will help. I've never owned a slow cooker, but I have wanted one for years.

I agree with bepsf...this reminds me of my parents' bedroom growing up...only their fan was pastel and covered in pressed flowers. Eeeek!

It's a great space filled with awesome ideas, but at 2,400/2,600 square feet is it really an "experiment in living with less"? And yes, I'm jealous.

If I leave the lid up my cat drinks the toilet water...would that mean he would drink the water and pee in it? Ick! I actually have a great litter box solution. I put it under the bathroom sink...in the cabinet. I removed the door and replaced it with a nice piece of fabric. Catface has his privacy and I don't have to see/smell the litter.

When I saw this commercial late at night I thought "Oh, that's just a poffertjes pan...how silly to try to sell them with 'flipping sticks'". Then I thought "mmmmmmmm poffertjes" and thought about ordering one.

I made a 4-layer chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and decorated with it halved Cadbury eggs that had plastic dinosaurs coming out of them.
