GreenPTBrindle's Profile

i had one a few years ago. one day while cleaning the floor, i turned it over and there were tiny little bugs crawling over the bottom, no mildew, but bugs. into the trash it went. we have a regular mat and never had the bug problem again.

Really love the airy feel of the kitchen! Where did you get the window shade? I've been looking for something similar...

any ideas for mosquitos?

Had a surprise brunch this morning and made a baked egg dish with spinach, home canned tomato and roasted red peppers. Currently making the buta no kakuni recipe for dinner and hamantaschen for tomorrow.

I also like to roast the chicken parts/veggies before putting them in the pot for added flavor.

Yes! We have only have a mini fridge and have to use the fire escape for food anytime we entertain.

I usually plan our meals based on what we get from the CSA every week. We also started a meat share, so looks like we won't be buying much more than condiments and canned goods...

I could finally stop paying someone to hem my clothes for me!

I'm not really sure how economical this is - $60 for the bottle, then $50 for 10 CO2 chargers, plus shipping for the chargers if you can't find them at a local store. Soda water costs $.79/1 liter at my bodega and we return the bottles to get recycled and get the deposit back. This site has a better option http://www.sodaclubusa.com/default.htm.

Hi Palmetto,

We get 1 delivery a month during the winter, so it tends to be a hefty amount of produce. The good thing is that this has forced me to make meals in advance using what we have available and storing meals in the freezer. We made a batch of Veselka's cabbage and pork soup and the braised cabbage from the kitchn.
