How do you clean your hands and dishes after handling zuccinis?
Comments (15)Peeling and removing seeds comes naturally when you can large ones. The skin is too tough and makes the spread uneven. For guidelines - I do not can for sale. We eat it our self. And I do the way I do for many years. Driving the car has some risk as well). The key with the zucchini spread - you almost fry it with good amount of oil covered for about an hour, that makers the temperature high enough to kill bad guys. And then I store all my preserves in the spare fridge - too hot in summer to keep it on the shelf. I do not encourage anybody follow my way and do not share recipe....See MoreHow do you chose the Backsplash?
Comments (3)I really think that backsplash choice is an area where people would benefit from creating a mood board. There have been a few people on this board who were so unhappy with the look of their new backsplash that the tore it out and replaced it, and I think the problem is the people just can't visualize the effect of pattern and color from a small sample to the actual proportions and orientations of the finished kitchen. I don't know if you've checked out the Design Around This threads, but they are basically an exercise in creating mood boards around specific themes. There is a thread that has tips and tools for how to do one yourself (see link). You don't need to have Photoshop or be a professional graphic designer to mock up something that will help you visualize how your kitchen will look with different choices. Here is a link that might be useful: How to do a mood board...See MoreFarmhouse sink owners...how do you do your dishes?
Comments (37)I am in the same camp as @Chris Hunter because I don't know how I could operate with only one large bowl. I think there are several problems with these oft repeated blanket statements that a single large bowl is always better than a double bowl. 1. There are other options than everyone's stereotype of an equally divided double bowl with small sinks on both sides. There are 60/40 or 70/30 sinks. 2. There is the option of getting a low divide. 3. Not everyone has the luxury of having an additional prep sink. Everyone always discusses nothing more than how to wash and where to dry. This is not the only use for a sink. How does one accomplish soaking a dirty pot, draining a pot of pasta, having some water to wipe down a stovetop, washing grimy produce, rinsing fish filets, and washing hands all at the same time with only a one bowl sink and one drain?...See MoreWhere do you drain your dishes - save my marriage!
Comments (49)I let things air dry in various places: everyday hand wash items (coffee pot, cat food dishes) -- when the DW is not full, I let things air-dry on the upper rack -- when the DW is full, I let things air-dry on a towel placed on the cooktop grates delicate stuff (knives, barware, china, aerokat) -- small quantities are hand dried -- large quantities air-dry in the dish rack with drain board that normally stays under the sink Then again, I don't live with anyone who cares where things dry out so long as they get their food, nibbles and treats....See MoreElizabeth
