It's Sunday, which means time for a review of all the little items that I found interesting over the week but that did not warrant an entire post. We'll begin with the kitchen hack of the week: Martha Stewart's method to remove those pesky price stickers that are applied to cookware and serving ware.

Spice support: marjoram
July 27, 2019 by Darcie
Some herbs spend their lives playing second fiddle to their more popular but similar cousins. Always a groomsman and never a groom, these herbs offer support, rarely getting a chance to shine.

My kitchen is in the southwest corner of the house and has a large window that overlooks our lawn and flower garden.

Homemade ice cream: low effort, high reward
July 20, 2019 by Darcie
Some food items have a very low reward to effort ratio. Foods like homemade ketchup seem like a lot of work for a product that is, to most people, little to no better than the purchased version. Every person has his own effort to reward ratio that guides his cooking. But no matter what your cooking style may be, you… read more

Sticky fingers
July 19, 2019 by Darcie
When I was 15 years old, I traveled without my family for the first time, going over a thousand miles from home as part of a school club.

The future of Dean & Deluca is in doubt
July 17, 2019 by Darcie
In the early 1990s, when I was a fresh-faced recent college graduate working in my first "real" job, I also leased my first apartment and therefore had my first "real" kitchen. No more dorm room microwave cooking for me, I thought triumphantly. I began to experiment in the kitchen, scouring food magazines for new recipes, but never straying far from… read more
