I have 2 sets of bare wood stairs going up and down from the main level which we use in both directions everyday in our split-level house. They are slippery suckers - but between myself, my husband, 3.5 year old son, crawling one year old and 2 cats - no one has ever slipped or fallen on the stairs. I do worry about guests slipping and falling and have contemplated adding Flor strips or the like to them to make them less slippy. Slipping, Sliding & Safety: Carpeted vs. Wooden Stairs |

The yoplait "greek" yogurt also contains gelatin, blech. I usually buy Choibanni or Fage but while vacationing in a small town a few weeks ago this one the only option available. I took one bite, spit it out and checked the label. I was so angry to see the list of added thickeners and gelatin. So not Greek yogurt. I was pretty fired up listening to the stoy on NPR last night.

Every night when I get off of work (at 5pm) and start my one hour commute home I feel like I am racing against a ticking clock. I often wonder what other people with kids and two working parents do - now I know :) 3 Tips for Still Having Family Dinner When Your Kid Eats at 5:00 |

This is generally reserved for weekends because I don't have time during the week: soft polenta or grits layered with sauteed veggies - spinach, tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, broccoli - whatever i have on hand, topped with a fried egg and a dash of franks or sriracha.

I grew up using the American style, with immigrant grandparents on both sides who ate Euro style. I switched to Euro style some time in my early twenties. I find it easier and it just makes more sense to me. Using Your Knife and Fork: The American Way vs. the European Way |

My kitchen seems to turn into a disaster area on a nightly basis - it's where all of our coming home clutter seems to accumulate. I can clean it top to bottom in about a half hour once a week - it's the everyday stuff that piles up in there that drives me crazy.

Another vote for the french press. I've been using the ratios/method suggested by Bittman in my french press with fantastic results. Smooth, delicious coffee every time. How Do I Make Delicious Cold Pressed Coffee At Home? Good Questions |

I remember the Christmas of the cabbage patch doll shortage! I got my first CPK in the spring of that year after I broke my nose. She was a redhead with pigtails named Daisy. She still lives at my moms house - now covered in sharpie after my younger sister had a go at her. My second was a premie doll named Benjamin- but I wanted a girl so I renamed it Michah (which I thought was the girl version of Mike - a name I LOVED) and called him a she. My mom would buy me handmade clothes from a woman in the neighborhood and I when received doll bunk beds as a gift I was in heaven! Oh how I loved those CPKs!

i use soy milk in my coffee everyday - i always pour the soy milk into the cup first then the coffee and never have curdling issues. no waiting or cooling down. I also heat soy milk for lattes without any curdling... i've used many different brands/packaging of soy milk through the years. Food Science: Why Does Soy Milk Curdle In Hot Coffee? |

@alexiso I bought mine at Babies R Us online 2.5 yrs ago. We love it - it has held up well during that time for our (very rambunctious) baby thru toddler boy and is as good as new and ready for number 2. Edie & Tommy's Neutral Nook Smaller Cooler 2011 Entry #30 |
