@Hbrogan, maybe they are doing it to save energy. My guess is you don't live in a drafty old house in a cold climate. I keep my thermostat at 60 during the day and at night, warmer in the evening and morning, and my winter energy bills are around $400 a month. That's a lot of gas. Being cold is just how it is for some of us in the winter. I appreciate the general idea of only heating the rooms I am in and seeing issues it could cause. If I didn't have a roommate right now, I may try the same. 5 Kitchen Drawbacks to Keeping the Thermostat Turned Down in Wintertime |

I love my co-op. Doesn't matter the time of year the fruits and veggies are always beautiful. Not much local this time of year, being it is currently 2 degrees, but we take what we can get. Where Do You Shop for Fruits and Vegetables in the Wintertime? Reader Survey |

Whoa, land of 10,000 Targets here and I had no idea they had wine. Probably because they can't legally sell it in their stores here, but that's crazy. Target wine. I'll have to tell my friends. Living in the Big House: In Praise of Boxed Wine |

Labor day isn't a day to honor those "who labor on our behalf." Labor day is a day to celebrate trade and labor unions. So a more appropriate post would have been about UNITE HERE who represent a lot of folks in food service. Or the Teamsters who represent a lot of people in the meatpacking industry. We don't pretend Memorial Day is in remembrance who everyone who has died, let's not bastardize Labor Day and pretend it is for everyone who has worked.

@Escondido- I live in a neighborhood with tons of authentic taco places. And a Taco Bell. I just saw a Latino family walking down the street holding a box of Taco Bell tacos. Authentic is not always better for all people. 100% American: How the Crispy Taco Was Invented |

Trader Joe's sells alcohol? Who knew? In Minnesota it sells beer and wine only, but only in a separate store from the food. It must have a distinct entrance. Best Bargain Booze: 7 Top Picks From Bar Experts Straight Up Cocktails and Spirits | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |

I keep a few cans in my desk drawer at work. I'll mix it in with microwave mac and cheese or instant soup or throw it on a salad I buy at the cafeteria. They are perfect for a desk drawer and really a life saver some days. Cheap Eats: 10 Ways to Use a Can of Tuna | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |

For Christmas Eve this year we had lots of people coming over. Until the ice/snow storm hit. I had been cooking for days and had enough food for 30 (I also always cook too much) and ended up with about 10. We ate leftovers until they went bad. We didn't even have room in the fridge for half the stuff. It was really sad. Tell Us: Have You Ever Had a Dinner Party Disaster? | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |

This happened a lot at a place I used to work. Like A LOT. Like someone stole a whole sheet cake out of the fridge that was to be used at a lunchtime retirement party. (and purses and backpacks and money were also stolen. and there were racial slurs written in the bathroom. it was great place to work.) Stop, Thief!

As Patti Kay mentions, we can pick it up here at the grocery stores, which is great. I love using it instead of tortillas for tacos. Also very good with Jelly. Lefse Potato Pancakes, Van Gogh, and Grandparents Holiday Guest Post from Megan of Feasting on Art | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |
