I really need to do something like this.

I like the idea of doing it myself. The insert looks like it eats precious drawer space. When your drawer is as crammed as mine, every inch counts.

Yum! This is one of my favorite vegetable dishes to get at Chinese restaurants.

I thought it was just another way that steamed buns are made. Like Ambitious said, they sell them like flat little buns in the Chinese grocery stores.

Interesting, but I'd rather just have the hot wings at a Super Bowl party.

Oh and the After is gorgeous. I'm seriously impressed by the design work that went into the whole thing since windows were enlarged and removed among other things.

I'm just so perplexed by the fact that the previous owners didn't have the counters against the wall in the Before.... I mean, I get some of the why of it. It's a 1916 house and wouldn't have had built-in cabinets originally. But it makes me think that the previous owners did a remodel using a tear-out from another home that they picked up on Craig's List or from a Habit for Humanity ReStore outlet.

Makes sense to me to pull the wine rack as part of toddler proofing and put something useful to somebody in its place. It looks simple enough to switch it back later when the kids have grown up. Very cute!

Wow...I admit that I've never seen an unprocessed water chestnut before. I do love them in my green bean casserole.

The Vipp can better take its own trash out to the outside bin for that price.

That OXO on the other hand...I could see myself buying that one. My white rubbermaid won't stay closed anymore, and while my dog doesn't get into the garbage normally, he's not above taking something tasty smelling out that is near the top of a full bag.

How funny! I bought two waterhog mats from LLBean and received them yesterday. They were both a back door mat and a placemat for my dog's dishes. I'm pleased with them so far as my dog's dishes seem to be glued to the mat...no dishes all scooted around like usual. Was actually pondering what color mat to buy for my front door next.

I'm not sure if I'd want them in my kitchen...the fabric is a little too stiff for my barefeet.

Meat, berries, veggies, leftovers, almond paste, pierogis, pie crusts, ice cream, bacon, butter, a can of grease, and paint brushes.

The Mamie Taylor sounds so delicious. I'm already in love with the Gin Buck and Moscow Mule...exchanging the gin/vodka for whiskey sounds like a great idea.

I've only had Scotch a few times. I tend to reach instead for Irish whiskey (Redbreast mmmm) at the liquor store.

Haven't done it yet, but am about to buy some tea from Amazon that I can no longer find in my local grocery stores. Also tempting to look for lemon marmalade; I can find orange, triple, and ginger marmalade, but never lemon for some reason.

Thanks Janel! Other than the lack of easy navigation between the two sites, I like the new look and organization. Merging the tech, green, and baby blogs into the AT page makes a lot of sense to me.

At the very least, can you add a link over to theKitchn at the top of the Apartment Therapy page and vice versa? It's pretty inconvenient to have to resort to bookmarks or scrolling down to the very bottom and clicking one of the blog post links to look at one blog or the other.

Don't forget a lovely tea strainer and tea pot! This pot will be mine soon: http://www.amazon.com/FORLIFE-Stump-16-Ounce-Teapot-Infuser/dp/B000FLG8XC

Er, d'oh. Forgot about that Cointreau rec already. But limoncello or kahlua would still be better than absinthe in my opinion.

I'd switch the Rye for a smooth Irish whiskey or Scotch.

I'd also swap out the Absinthe for a flavored liquor like Grand Marnier or Limoncello. Or something versatile like Kahlua.

I have 6' bay windows in the breakfast area and a cute little half moon window in the kitchen. My house gets a ton of natural light.

The actual lighting is hideous though. A big 80s fluorescent box over the kitchen and an outdated looking fan over the breakfast area. Some day I will knock out that box and put in cans or modern track lighting.
