...Also, I feel like if you can't look at your toaster and know it's a toaster, you have more to worry about than how it's labelled. Cute & Unusual Kitchen Storage Labels: Scrabble Letters! Small Kitchen Tips & Tricks |

I don't think I ever tasted cilantro until I was... at least in high school, if not later. But I loved it from the start anyway! Do You Hate Cilantro? It May Be Genetic. Gizmodo |

I second the chili sauce, and you can probably find some great spices and curry mixes for cheap! I've been there twice, and I didn't really have a chance to cook for myself either time, but I ate some incredible food there. What Should I Buy for the Kitchen on My Trip to Thailand?Good Questions |

Funny, I wolf down cold foods, and I rarely feel anything from them! Maybe I just keep it lower in my mouth, so it doesn't shock my upper palate. The Science of Brain Freeze The Atlantic |

I was over at my best friend's house all the time as a kid. The number one cool thing she had was a number of video game systems! I was enthralled, and later inspired to secretly buy a Super Nintendo that I only took out and played when I was home alone. What Impressed You About Other Homes As a Kid? |

Thank you! I work at a summer camp, and we have poison ivy all over. A lot of people are confused about what it looks like. Get Smart: Recognizing Poisonous Plants |

I remember being the only "Alexandra" I knew up until... pretty much college. I couldn't find my name on a novelty license plate anywhere. Now it's pretty common, but I still get called "Alexandria" more often than not. 2011's Most Popular Baby Names |

All my parents ever did with beets was boil them, slice them, and serve them with some vinegar. I wasn't a huge fan. Then I went to Australia for a couple weeks, and they serve them on sandwiches there! And I realized, there's a whole world of beets out there that I've been missing!

We freeze a lot of blueberries in the summer. They're great to put on ice cream, with plain yogurt, in lemonade/juice, or just to eat on their own! Preserving Without Canning: Tips and Tricks for Spring Produce |

I've always thought this would be an incredible thing to do. I'd live in a converted church! The church across the street from my house was for sale a few years back... but it's massive, far too big to be good for one person to live in! The Ultimate in Upcycling: Homes in Converted Churches |

My grandmother used to make popovers for some holiday meals! With butter. Sometimes they were a bit burnt, but she tended to overcook everything anyway... They were still good, though! How to Make Popovers |

I experience this too, although I'm not a bit Asian. I'm half German and half English/Irish/Scottish/etc. I turn red after a few swallows of alcohol. I have very pale skin, and I've always changed colors at the slightest provocation. I blush easily too, even when I don't feel that embarrassed. I took judo for a semester in college, and was always being told to tap out quickly because I was turning purple, but I felt like I was breathing just fine. It's slightly embarrassing at times, but I never thought I could do anything about it. Asian Flush: Why I Turn Red When I Drink Alcohol |

After working with horses for many years, I've developed an affection for dirt. After a day at the barn, I come home covered in dust, dirt, sweat, poop particles, and hair. Sometimes I think I've gotten a tan, only to have it wash off in the shower. I'd rather eat something that fell on the ground there than just about any public floor. I don't mind the dirt.

I always saw a microwave as the ultimate must-have kitchen item. Then I spent a year teaching in Korea. I was given a furnished apartment for the year. Refrigerator, stove, rice cooker, toaster oven. No oven. No microwave. I was really put out over the lack of microwave at first, but I got used to it. I got into the habit of making a BIG batch of something (usually some form of curry) on Sunday, and eating away at it over the week. I just spooned what I wanted into my little pan and heated it up on the stove. It worked out just fine! The Kitchn's Guide to Essential Small Electric Appliances Setting Up a Kitchen |

Mmm! I like toast with a fried egg, cheese, sauteed onion, and a thin slice of fresh tomato. Plus random spices or herbs. One day dried basil, the next day lemon pepper... Sometimes hot sauce. Rise & Shine: 7 Savory Breakfast Sandwiches to Start the Day |
