Nobody ever said that US shoud abort their system (even though this could make sense, but this is a big conversation). At least what I say is that recipes should have both quantities. Unless they only address to americans_do they? How would you feel if you found the perfect recipe, only to find it "destroyed" by words and quantities you don't know what they mean?


Until We Go Metric: 7 Cooking Conversions to Know By Heart
5/20/13 10:52 AM

I've asked so many times from theKitchn to add metric amounts in the recipes but they won't listen. And I'm afraid this table is of no help! What's a pint? A quart? And how much is 300 degrees Fahrenheit?
I know I'm being bitter, but I've lost so many recipes because of this!

Am I the only one who doesn't really like it? Will I sound bitter if I say the after is too fancy and cold? No, I'll say nothing bad, instead I wish you to enjoy your new kitchen made the way you dreamt.


Kitchen Before & After: A Palm Springs Kitchen Gets a Luxury Makeover Kitchen Remodel

I'm afraid nothing really works. I have a black desktop computer and last year some time I washed the plastic parts of the keybord (the cover and the keys) with every kind of soap/solution/cleaner I could imagine. Rinsed it with tons of water of all temperatures and left it air dry on a piece of newspaper. Nothing!!! Within hours it was covered in dust and worse than before. I wanted to smash it on the wall. I don't know what to blame, the colour? The atmosphere? My luck? Since, I rub it along with the screen and the tower with a wet micro-fibre cloth and that's all. I've had enough with it...

I'll be annoying once again: too bad ApartmnetTherapy and above all theKitchn only use imperial measures. It's really impeding, stops me from following great many recipes that sound really tasty. Pity...

So it turns out that the old piece of advice "a nice glass of warm milk (and a couple of chocolate biscuits, I add) before going to bed" is now gone!


What Helps You Sleep?
3/23/13 4:51 PM

How many people face trouble sleeping really amazes me! Am I the only one who needs city lights and traffic noise to sleep? Whenever I go to the countryside, getting some sleep becomes a nightmare for me_too much serenity, I can't stand it. So the only things that make me sleepless are lack of city noise/lights and sleeping on my back. I know I'm weird

This reminded me of a friend whose daughters drew some colourful scribbles on a huge piece of paper and she hung in in the hallway. Everyone thought it was an original Miró, sometimes children are so ahead!!
Can anyone please tell me how those chairs are called? If they have a name, or something to define them

Can anyone please make this recipe metric?
And I beg you theKitchn, please make the recipes metric as well, unless you only address to americans.

By installing narrower drawers and a much narrower cooker. I'm not sure about the exact dimensions, but I'm sure they'd fit perfectly and the whole would be at least safer.

Obviously you mean one hutch is 1,90m and the other is 1m wide.
I think the first comment makes perfect sense, but you'll have to convert feet to metres or vice-versa.

I think you should flank the cooker with cupboards, it'd be safer and more practical. Otherwise the kitchen is marvelous.
What are the new cooker and dishwasher? GE?

Even though I'm completely with Maude, we'll have to agree that back then needs were completely different from ours. So, a building from the past is completely diffrently designed.
It's not the post to start such a conversation, but I've always wondered: you Americans, how do you wash, let's say your feet, your underworld even your lower back with only a spout stuck to the wall??? And how do you rinse the bath or the walls after using it???

Just a small correction: Peloponnese (Πελοπόνησος) geographically is southern Greece, not western. Just a small part of it, administratively, belongs to Periphery of Western Greece.

Just a question to almost fully understand the layout: the bathroom door leads to the bedroom or the hallway? Because I just want to kick you out and have the flat for myself ;-)
Lovely place. Just lovely!

I only dislike two things: the kitchen tap and the crate shleves. Just ugly!
But the rest of the house... Pure perfection.

Δεν ξέρω σε τι κατάσταση ηλικιακή κ υγείας είστε, αλλά σε μερικά χρόνια θα είναι άκρως απαραίτητο το ασανσέρ, ιδίως σε ένα σπίτι τριών-τεσσάρων ορόφων. Αν κάνεις μια βόλτα σε σάιτ εταιριών σε οικιακά ασανσέρ όλο κ θα βρεις. Ιδίως αν επικοινωνήσεις ζωντανά κ τους πεις ότι πρόκειται για ασανσέρ σε μονοκατοικία. Δες το kleeman.gr. Επίσης θα πρότεινα η σκάλα να μην έχει κενό, ωστε ανοίγοντας η πόρτα του ασανσέρ να βλέπει στην τουαλέτα, δεν ξέρω βέβαια κατά πόσο θα χωρέσει.

Lifts are always useful, especially for the older. Have a look at kleeman.gr and above all, give the company a ring, do not rely just on the looks.

Well, my ideal home would be a flat in the centre of the city, with wooden floors, radiators and seperate rooms, one for every purpose. To be honest all those super houses and flats are not for me.

The british type also exists in Ireland, Malta and Cyprus. Plus the latest Italian type is much more complex than that. It can now accept schuko as well
