100% guilty. It's a slow spiral, but it generally ends with my husband suggesting I eat something and me trying to take his head off. I try to stave it off as much as possible at work by keeping snacks in my desk drawer, but it's usually on the weekends when we're running around doing errands or cleaning or something mundane and I've forgotten to nibble and start lashing out. I should keep a granola bar around for emergencies. A Word to Fear: Hangry! Word of Mouth |

1 tablespoon of flax meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5-10 minutes. Super easy, plus it adds a slight flavor that really complements some recipes. What Is the Best Egg Substitute for Baking? |

The juicer. Everything rinses right off right after you're done, but if you leave it, everything sticks and looks gross to boot. 3 Kitchen Tools to Clean Right After Using |

It's a running joke now, but I had a guacamole accident before I learned the proper way to get the seed out. Hint: it's not stabbing directly down at the pit with a paring knife. Which Foods Are the Most Dangerous to Handle? |

No mention of the Harpoon Brewery down at the waterfront? I love me some Sam Adams and all, but Harpoon definitely needs a mention, too! Their festivals are a BLAST, and they have all sorts of perks for their Friends of Harpoon cardholders. A Food-Lover's Guide to Boston Markets, farms, artisans, & best shops for cooks |

@greenandlean: we used to have Cheerios, too! I'm a fan of almonds, dark chocolate, and cranberries, myself, but I wouldn't say no to a big ol' mix. My only hangup is that I only like one kind of nuts at once... almonds or peanuts or cashews, etc. I wind up eating them separately if they're all mixed together!

Great post! I work for a company that develops treatments for tree health care (seriously!) and I can't stress enough the importance of planting native species and not planting a monoculture. Dutch Elm Disease devastated the American Elm not too long ago, and Emerald Ash Borer is doing the same to ash trees. Your local extension agent (most likely at the state university) is a GREAT resource for planting just about anything! Arbor Day: 5 Things to Consider When Planting A Tree The Gardenist |

I love the original-- adorable and functional! Truth be told, I want it for my office, since I work in the tree care industry. How fun! Still, $850? Even shy of $300 for a (much less attractive) knockoff? Quick, someone DIY! Branching Out: Two Tree Bookcases |

Looks delish! Is it me, or are the main photos from The Kitchn/ AT/ oh dee oh not coming up in Google Reader anymore? Major bummer if that's a permanent change! Totally Tasty Tortilla Soup |

As someone who has the full 5-gal Complete Homebrewing kit, I'd love the single gallon kit for experimenting. I'd feel a lot better about not liking a batch! Also, grolsch bottles, growlers, bottle caps, and carboys make excellent accessory gifts! Kitchen Gift Guide For Beer Lovers 2011 Kitchen Gift Guide |

My parents always asked my brother and I for a "wish list." It was understood that there was no way we'd receive everything on it, but it at least gave them some direction. And panic, when during my early-teen angst I asked for a boyfriend. Neither here nor there! Holiday Tact: Do You Ask for Specific Gifts? |

Ooooh! And chips on a PB&J or tuna sandwich. YUM. Bonus points for ruffles. Why Everyone Thinks I Eat My Pancakes Weird |

I think it's cute! Of course, it's probably better served as a bassinet rather than a cradle since I can't image a rolling/squirming/starting to become mobile baby being all that safe. Once the baby outgrows the sleeping function, though, it'd be super-cute for storing toys and stuffed animals. Make This: Hanging Fabric Cradle From Etsy |

My hubby and I face this too, even though we don't have kids. We've gotten to a point where we despise "stuff" for the sake of having it, and giving random stuff for the sake of giving it. Thankfully, our parents all appreciate a wish list, so we can indicate items and experiences we'd like so we aren't saddled with random tchochkes, like striped toe socks and our 15th ice scraper.

I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time last year and did the whole shebang. It was the first time I'd roasted a turkey and it came out great, so now I have to try to remember which technique I used. Wish I'd had Pinterest then! Survey: Are You Making a Turkey for Thanksgiving? |

I wait as long as possible to turn the heat on. Last year, I turned it on October 22-- and only because everyone at my house getting ready for my wedding was complaining ;) When Do You Decide to Turn on the Heat? |

Brussels sprouts sauteed with bacon and onions... YUM. I do spinach that way, too, since I think it's a little boring most other ways I've had it. I'm in the same boat as @asmallcontempt, that I haven't really experimented with too many veggies outside what my mom always made, but I'm definitely trying!

Also... for an awesome cocktail (hot or cold), just add some Crown Royal to your cider. I don't drink the Crown otherwise, but always have some on hand for these. YUMMM! The Real Deal: Have You Ever Tried Unpasteurized Cider? |
