Now those are some fluffy pancakes. I like the addition of buttermilk. I make mine with soy milk and vinegar... works like a charm.

I love my garlic press. I think it is my favorite kitchen gadget. Even though it is a single-use item and generally eschew them, I use it every time I use garlic. It has more than made up for the space it takes in our gadget drawer.

this is so great but I'd worry they'd fall out of bed. I had a loft bed and fell out when I was in high school so you're never too old. I love the rustic feel to it.

this sounds like a good idea, but as previous people have said, would you want to cook food in something you've been boiling paint in?

I only boiled asparagus and was moderately successful - but I recently discovered that sauteing them awards with a more consistent outcome. Saute for 3 minutes, add water and let sit with the heat off for another 3-4 minutes and they come out perfect every time.

I don't know - these textures are really deep. I wonder if there aren't more shallow, more subtle ones...

yes, drivel. I sleep on right and my husband on left. He sleeps on left to be closer to getting out since he has insomnia (the bed's right side is along a wall). He is way more stressed than I am.

- we used a diaper hamper for a whole year and I regret it. better to put dirty diapers in the regular trash - that way they get taken out more often - less stinky.

- never used the bottle sterilizer

- never used the baby monitor

- electric breast pump was awful. made me feel like livestock.

- bouncy seat was only used a few times

Tacos are a great idea for a new family. when I had my son a friend sent over a never-ending stream of pasta and chicken dinners. It was very much appreciated.
