I've always just cut off the ends and hoped the paper came off easily! For those stubborn ones, I use my knife to get under them. But I definitely have to try the whack technique! How Can I Make Peeling Shallots Easier? Good Questions |

I have always used them, just something that I am used to because that's what my parents always used in their coffee. So, I've never noticed an off-taste when it comes to coffee or other drinks. Plus, I know that I am saving on calories - I only need 2 teaspoons of sugar substitute versus maybe a couple tablespoons of real sugar. But when baking, I always use real sugar.

Installing a photoelectric smoke alarm made all the difference in my house. My old smoke alarm would go off if I was charring peppers under the broiler, and it got annoying really fast. Once I put the new smoke alarm in, it hasn't gone off since (except once when I had sticky buns or something totally go crazy in the oven!) How To Stop Annoying Smoke Detector False Alarms |

Just tried this last week. A local bar just got it on tap and we had to try. We both loved it! Beer Review: Sierra Nevada's Ruthless Rye |

It sounded good on paper, but it's really not that great. It's pretty bitter and dry and could also use some salt. Recipe: Couscous With Chickpeas, Fennel, and Citrus |

Very delicious! Even my boyfriend, who is kind of picky about vegetarian meals, said it was awesome! Perhaps pistachios or walnuts next time? Only used 1/2 of an onion too and it was plenty. Recipe: Orzo with Caramelized Fall Vegetables & Ginger |

I thought you weren't supposed to add oil to the pasta water - it won't let the sauce stick once the pasta and sauce are tossed together. Does Salting Pasta Water Have Any Scientific Merit? |

I love red onion raw and pretty much use yellow onions for all of my cooking. But if I only have red onion on hand and am making a recipe that calls for onions, I don't see any problems with subbing in the red. What's the Difference? Yellow, White, and Red Onions |

I love them, but they do start to crumble after a while, which is kind of annoying. Truly Magical: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Cleaning Pads |

When I bought my house it came with a refrigerator. The door opened towards the living room, so you'd have to walk out of the kitchen to get something out of the fridge - very inefficient. Me and my boyfriend switched the door and now it opens into the kitchen, the way it should. This is definitely a two person job - there is no way that it could be done by 1 person!

Growlers are a great idea! Especially when the beer is hard to find in other bars in the area. We'll buy/re-fill a couple occasionally from a local brewery (Great Basin Brewery in Reno). For the Freshest Beer: Buy a Growler |

Made this last night. It was so good, total comfort food (I slimmed it down a bit though) Cut everything in half since it's just the two of us. Still good for lunch the next day! Recipe: Ham & Linguine Casserole, Mother of All Casseroles |
