Ihave some kind of mental block about hard boiled eggs - do they go in when the water is still cold? How long do they boil? Or maybe it's really just a nice excuse to call my not-very-phone-friendly dad with a "reason"... Phone Home! When Did You Last Call for Cooking Advice? | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |

I don't know where you guys are buying your lamps at, but if the cords get so hot that they might be an ignition source, I suggest you replace them. Apartment Therapy San Francisco | Storing a Collection in a Lamp |

I usually stick around the AT and kitchn sites, but I think someone should be decorating a kid's room around some of this Detroit-area artist's work - http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5577889. Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh | Fairy Tale Characters: Alternatives to Disney |

@bedtime for gonzo - Love that your mixer is named Pete. If I had space to keep mine on a counter, I think I'd name it Karen. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Help Me Find a Reliable, Well-Priced Bread Machine Good Question |

Love the big lakes, and I frankly don't care if they're American or Canadian (although if I go over to the Ontario side, they do charge me a lot more for a fishing license). We're taking our summer vacation in Copper Harbor, MI, which I really think is the most beautiful spot in the world. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Great Lakes Escapes |

Ha! This happened in our house last week. I overestimated the amount of zucchini and summer squash that I could get in there and could only fit three eggs. It was delicious, and an excellent way to use up too many veggies! Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | An Almost-Eggless Frittata The New York Times |

I have an old Breadman (given to me by an aunt who never used it). This model - http://tinyurl.com/lcyjz2 - the link is to an ebay auction, $25. It's not fancy, but it has faithfully performed it's job 2-3 times a month for the last 4 years. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Help Me Find a Reliable, Well-Priced Bread Machine Good Question |

Oh, if we're talking drinks, I made a lovely the other night. I'd made waffles for breakfast, and cooked some nearly spent strawberries with a bit of sugar for waffle syrup. Later on saturday eve, I realized there was strawberry syrup. Went with - Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Cocktail Recipe: The Paloma |

While floral flavors aren't really my thing, I can't think of anything I wouldn't put maple jelly on/in. Pork glaze, on buttered biscuits, in baked beans, maybe some kind of bisquick sausage "pie" with a touch of it, out of the jar with a spoon... I have maple issues.

I'd guess it's a dresser, but it looks fantastic where you have it and it seems like a shame to hide such a great find in the bedroom! Apartment Therapy New York | Good Questions: Sideboard or Dresser? |

Peppers (jalepeno, anaheim and pimento), summer squash, brussels sprouts, bush beans, broccoli (2 kinds), tomatoes (4 kinds), kale, chard (2 kinds), spinach, lettuces, basil (mexican, purple & giant), marjoram, thyme, parsley (flat & curly), dill. And we convinced our neighbor to put a small patch in her yard adjacent to ours for kohlrabi since it's her favorite thing. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Garden 2009: What Are You Growing? |

Right now there are soy nuts, 2 luna bars, wasabi peas, cup a soup (at least 3 years old), green tea and Finn-Crisp crackers. In the fridge is a jar of natural peanut butter. Other things making regular appearances are dried apricots, raisins, individual natural applesauces, almonds, laughing cow cheeses and string cheese. And, of course, the evil cupboards full of M&Ms, Kit Kats, Snickers, Dove chocolates, Bit-O-Honeys, etc., etc. provided by the company. It's really beyond me why they do that, but they do.

The table is lovely - I agree with those who've suggested bright yellow, which I think would be great with the lampshade. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Good Questions: Color Suggestions for Side Table? |

We use google calendar as our family calendar so that my husband and I can both easily make changes. I created an additional calendar titled "Dinner" and the menu for the week goes there. It's nice because it can be hidden so that the calendar isn't all cluttered, you can just move entries around if you change your mind during the week, I can go back and look at past meals (since November '07!), and if you go into "edit event details", you can drop in links to online recipes in the notes section.
