OK. Back to school shopping time. I love that I can get a pack of 12 pens for 5 cents, or a composition notebook for a quarter. (Honestly, why is there a box of kleenex on the school supply list…?) Anyhow. Now is a good time to stock up and prepare for those terrible nights in February. […]
Turn your old washing machine into a fire pit.
OK, this is not a beautiful transformation, but it sure works great. Take the drum out of an old machine and use it as a fire-pit. I don’t think they are so aesthetically pleasing “as-is” for a backyard, but let me tell you, these wash tub fire pits are perfect for beach bonfires and camping […]
Get the benefits of cinnamon by brewing it in your coffee.
Cinnamon. Makes me think of yummy baked goods and spicy good smells… It’s good stuff, that cinnamon. In addition to its over-all yumminess, recent studies have been showing that cinnamon can provide added health benefits. It has fiber and calcium, which helps to improve colon health and to fight heart disease. It also has been […]
Cleaning Stove Burners & Grates using Ammonia (The best, easiest, cheapest No-Scrub way EVER.)
I’m going to change your life today. (Well, your stove top at least.) This post contains affiliate links. Don’t you judge me! I cook. A lot. These were my stove burner/grates. Yep. They were so bad that I am almost embarrassed to put a watermark on this photo. You cook… oil and grease spatter… they […]
How to set up a buffet table (& examples of what not to do.)
Ah, summer time, the season of the backyard barbecue and potluck. It’s fun, it’s relatively easy and laid back… a nice way to enjoy friends and family. However, easy and simple is NOT synonymous with sloppy and thrown together. It doesn’t matter if it is at a BBQ, a potluck or Thanksgiving dinner, there is a right […]
Taming counter-top clutter with canisters.
For months, every day I would wake up and say to myself: “Today’s the day! Today’s the day I am going to clean up the black hole of crap that is next to my computer!” Every night I would go to bed and think, “…tomorrow… I’ll do it tomorrow…” The problem is that it isn’t […]
I’d answer your question… but you just. won’t. let. me.
Dear Carmina, Thank you for the comment on my post about how to etch your name into the bottom of your glass pans… “Quick question, do you have any problems with the etching after it’s been in the oven?” I wanted to give you a Quick Answer! I wanted to tell you that “Yes! Yes! […]
Rust Converter: Outta the auto shop and into the craft store.
Spring has (mostly) sprung and I am beginning to turn my attention to my patio area. Not. Good. I have some tall hurricane lanterns that have been sitting out in the elements (if Southern California really even has elements) for 2 or 3 years, and although we had sprayed a clear sealant over them, the […]
I take my coffee in the shower.
Although you wouldn’t know it by the weather, tank top weather is coming. Egads! That means bathing suit weather isn’t far behind. Now while I long for the days when my biggest complaint was only about my fat butt, now everything is squishy. That’s gonna take some work. However! My winter skin gets a good […]
Personalized Dishes – How to bring a casserole to a potluck… and not lose your pyrex.
I love to cook. I’m happy to bring something (or a couple of somethings) to a potluck. I am not happy when I don’t get my Pyrex back again… There is no such thing as Dish Karma. If you lose one, another doesn’t show up as a random act of dish replacement. The Land of […]
