I bought a custom closet from Easycloset.com. MUCH better quality than Elfa (as in, wooden shelves not wire mesh everything, which will leave marks in your folded clothes) and only slightly more expensive. Frankly, i found the whole Elfa thing far too expensive for a bunch of cheap wire junk, so upping the cost slightly to get something much better was worth it for me. Easycloset is basically California Closet type of design, but you assemble it yourself a la IKEA. Everything is custom cut to fit your closet, so you'll also get a better fit than Elfa.

Uhm, mine is hanging on the handle of the stove. Like a dish towel. Which this is. Frankly, my kitchen's not big enough that i would ever be more than an arm's length away from my towel on the oven handle, so its happy where it is, and since i often can't be bothered to wear an apron, i wouldn't have anywhere to tuck it anyway.

Wait. A latte and a cappucino are not the same thing, so how is a flat white a "traditional-sized cappucino or small latté with no cocoa powder on top"??? Is a flat white a random coffee drink chosen by the cafe that just happens to be cocoa-free? Barista Secrets: 3 Underground Coffee Drinks Not On The Menu |

Huh? Am i the only one that doesn't see a problem with this? I agree with the older post where the mirror was over the stove where it would likely get splashed with all sorts of sauces and greases, but over a sink like the above sounds just fine.

my favorite tip learned at a Napa winery was if the wine tastes a little harsh, swirl the living daylights out of it in your glass for 30 seconds. you may look a little amateurish to some for swirling so vigorously and for so long, but it really does the trick! and no blender necessary, thanks.

so is this basically bird food? Or do you end up with a bunch of glittery oats on your lawn for a few weeks? Should birds be eating glittery oats with shimmery stars though??? Reindeer Food Holiday Guest Post from Germaine Leece of Some Home Truths |

I do this with wrinkled laundry all the time. Just spritz with a water mister and smooth out the wrinkles with your hands. In 15 min you can usually put the item on and be wrinkle free! No Iron Required: A Quick Way to De-Wrinkle Linens KCRW's Good Food |

I don't think i understand how these salt keepers work. I always thought a salt cellar had to be made of terra cotta or clay of some sort that was permeable, which would keep it from getting too moist and hardening with humidity changes. But the salt keepers featured here are wood and glazed pottery... which seems like it wouldn't have the same function. Thoughts? Stylish & Simple Storage: Salt Cellars |

Ok, so the important question here is, WHICH soft batch cookies does this recipe recreate? I grew up completely addicted to soft batch, which were in fact, soft. However, in the past decade or so, every single time i buy them, they are relatively crispy, more like a chips ahoy, and not at all soft like i remember. Ruins it for me.

Ahem. I happen to prefer my cherry pie "gloppy". Same with my apple pie. Pie needs to be greater than the sum of its parts, not merely ... the sum of its parts. To me, an apple pie with all the apple pieces still distinct and separated by a risen crust half an inch away is a disaster. Dough + apples + sugar, yes, but pie? No. Gloppy Cherry Pie to Heavy Bagels:10 Crimes Against Food Chow |

I'm with Bittman. The only part of the crust i like is the soggy bottom part, which has soaked up all the fruity goodness. The dry, salty, and flavorless top part of the crust? No thank you. I have never met a pie crust (fancy NYC bakery or homemade) that i thought was worth eating. In fact, most of them time i FORCE myself to eat the salty crap in order not to offend...

Uhm, yea and diners and fast food places also design their seating to be just uncomfortable enough to discourage you from lingering. Not being able to adjust how far/close you are from the table is subtle, but uncomfortable, and in my home i want people to be comfortable and to linger. Doesn't work for home application.
