I did this several times. Gotta remember to change the water once in a while because it can get kinda smelly and gross... After cutting them 2 or 3 times, I just plant them in a pot or out in the garden and they keep coming back. I also tried this with fresh sage (very fresh) cuttings and in a couple of weeks, they started growing roots, and then I planted them in a pot.

Back in my omnivore days, I used to roast chicken or pork loin covered in mustard. In these days, I love it on top of split pea soup.

One or two good photos, ingredients that I already have or at least, are easy to find, and a brief description of the final product. If it calls for an ingredient unfamiliar to me, a description of that particular ingredient.

I wouldn't consider "finding a knife, squeezing the citrus, and picking out the seed" a "hassle". But unclogging that thing, yes, that would be a "hassle" for me.

I made one for Thanksgiving dinner and it was a big hit. I put dried cranberries and sunflower seeds.

I like the individual ones. They look more like a super sized canapé. I'd make those.

I haven't used recipe cards in years. I get most of the recipes online, so I only need my laptop or my tablet. I don't even print them anymore. But I can see the appeal of using recipe cards. A recipe handwritten by your grandma has a sentimental vibe that cannot be replaced. I don't have kids but I'd handwrite some good recipes for someone special.


Recipe Cards: Useful or Outdated?

Same here with prepacked ones. Although sometimes I use Judith Jones' glass jar method (http://www.thekitchn.com/kitchen-tour-ju-158276) with great results. And *always* check the packing date before buying! Old mushrooms will go bad in a couple of days no matter how you store them.

I think it looks great. Not that there was something wrong with the old site, but this one is easier on the eyes. I especially like the categorization, really nice job. The only thing I don't like are the video ads. They're annoying.

Made this last night and will make it again. I used canned Canary (= Mayocoba) beans and even though some of them turned into mush, they were delicious. Golden brown and crispy on the outside, creamy inside. I didn't have za'atar, so I used poultry seasoning, thyme and red pepper flakes.

I didn't know you could grow dogs in a raised bed! :)
To all those who have a problem with cats, there's a product called Scat Cat Mat, that allegedly deters excavating cats. I haven't tried it myself yet, but I think I'll get some to keep the squirrels out. (I'm too lazy to deal with netting...)

Awesome! I was looking for a project just like this one! But I'd put something on the tray to raise the container, to allow for better ventilation. I don't think the holes will work if they touch the tray...

I never had one and I don't think I'll get one any time soon. Some people find it weird that I don't have one. I just never felt it was necessary in my kitchen. Yes, it'd be easier to melt butter or chocolate or reheat leftovers but it takes too much space and I wouldn't use it very often.


Warming Food and...? How Do You Use Your Microwave?

I'm also a renter and I clean it once or twice a year, but if something spills, I clean it as soon as possible. Two good reasons to keep the oven clean: 1) fire prevention and 2) even and accurate baking temperatures (I learned this 2nd tip from Alton Brown).

I found some nice gift tags and dark red damask napkins. I use napkins or kitchen towels to wrap cookbooks, kitchen gadgets or edible gifts.

Thank you sooo much! :)
Konar, yes, some of us still print recipes. Personally, I try to avoid printing but at the same time, I don't want to subject my laptop to spills, greasy fingers and such... Plus I don't have a lot of counter space. This way, I can stick the recipe to the fridge with a magnet.

In addition to the date and cookie variety labeled on the bag, I write oven temperature and baking time.
