Comments (2)If you go to www.shelvesthatslide.com, you can find installation instructions for a face-frame pullout. (as well as a decent way to order a pullout the size you need) There are drawer slides that attach to the back of the cabinet, intended for face-frame cabinets. Do get a full-extension one. (the one I linked to is 3/4 extension, but there should be a full-extension one). Here's how it'a installed And there are brackets you can use to attach the drawer slide to the back of the cabinet. And of course, you can install an extra piece of wood tothe side of the cabinet to fill in the gap (I think) Here is a link that might be useful: Accuride center-mount slide for face-frame cabinets...See MoreOil/Vinegar Pullouts - 6' or 9'???
Comments (8)I think it depends on a couple of things: (1) Are your cabinets framed, frameless, or inset? and (2) Are the pullouts "filler pullouts" or actual cabinets? This is my take on it.... If you have framed or inset cabinets, filler pullouts have the same OR more room, width-wise than the same size and bigger cabinets. With framed cabinets, you are constrained by the actual size of the cabinet opening. E.g., if you have cabinets w/1-1/2" face frames around the opening, then a 6" cabinet will only have a 3" opening and the pullout will need to be The 9" cabinet pullout from Rev-A-Shelf has a pullout width of 5". However, Rev-A-Shelf's 6" filler pullout's width is 6" and is designed for a 6" opening...b/c it's mounted b/w two cabinets and there are no face frames and cabinet walls to reduce the opening size. In another thread (see link below), Alku05 measured her 3" filler pullouts and determined that bottles up to a 2-1/4" diameter fit, so the opening b/w the shelf railings is probably 2-1/4". That means, I think, that the railings take up approximately 3/8" on each side. So, a 6" filler pullout would most likely have a 5-1/4" [(2-1/4" + 3") OR (6" - 6/8") = 5-1/4"] distance b/w the rails. Now, the pullout for the 9" cabinet is 5" wide and if you account for the 3/8" railing on each side, that leaves 4-1/4" b/w the railings in the 9" cabinet. If my analysis is correct, then the 6" filler pullout has 1/2" more usable space than the 9" cabinet. Again, this is for framed or inset cabinets. However, even with frameless cabinets, you have to account for the cabinet walls. If they're 3/4", then you will still lose 1-1/2" of opening width. What am I saying? I'm saying that if you have between 6" & 9" to work with, I would get the filler pullouts rather than cabinets. Base filler pullouts (at Rev-A-Shelf) come in 3", 6", and 9" Filler Pull-Outs - Base I may have over-analyzed this, but that's a byproduct of my occupation. :-) However, it came in very handy when I went through something similar and it helped me realize that even if I'm forced to reduce my two 9" cabinets to 6" each, I will not lose cabinet space.

Comments (15)I like sugar or honey in some of my vinaigrette (I checked the spelling on this one!). It depends on what I am putting it over or with as much as it does what I feel like at different times. My favorite vinaigrettes are ones that use various different vinegars too, but I think the oil can be the star too. I like Walnut Oil very much. And, I like to mix oils. I will mix a rich fruity olive oil with a basic vegetable oil to get the flavor but not overpower my greens or whatever foods I am using the vinaigrette. I have always thought that the basic portions for oil and vinegar was 2/3 oil and 1/3 vinegar. But, I will do whatever tastes best to me and sometimes that is the right mix and sometimes I will do a half and half. I also like to mix mustards in my vinaigrettes. I like to add various herbs too. One of the best vinaigrettes I made was for a salad that had greens and fruit with nuts in it. I got wild and added feta cheese, buckwheat honey, and orange zest. It was wowzer for flavor! I have added cilantro, sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano, lots and lots of sweet basil, (not all together, separate usually), and even added a bit of nutmeg and cinnamon with walnut oil and rice wine vinegar over a salad that had baby greens and tiny cream cheese/goat cheese balls in it. My neighbor takes an envelope of Hidden Valley and does an oil and vinegar dressing with it and tosses in lots of chopped raw vegetables and everyone gobbles it up at our block party pot-lucks. It is really, really good! I guess the trick is to know what you like and to maybe start with the rule of thumb that says, 1/3 volume of vinegar and 2/3 volume of oil.. whether that is in cups, teaspoons, or shot glasses as measuring tools!...See MoreLOOKING for: honey, oil & vinegar
Comments (15)To give credit where credit is due, the original HOV mixture came from a nutritionist by the name of Adelle Davis. Her books are from the 40's-60's. Google her or I made it easy go here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelle_Davis The book it was in may have been "Let's Eat Right to Keep Fit" from 1954. I discovered her books in the early 70's. She was an early advocate of cutting out the processed foods and eating whole foods only and also she talked about how bad canned food were for you. She was WAY ahead of her time. Although the above proportions are not the original "recipe" as it was NOT equal portions but it was safflower oil, apple cider vinegar and honey. I do not remember the proportions, but you mixed up about a cup or so at a time and drink 1 tablespoon (?) or maybe 2 teaspoons before each meal. The reason for the oil is that on a diet, most people completely cut oils & fats out, but you need some oil in your diet, so this made up for it. The vinegar aids digestion. The honey was to make it palatable. And its supposed to cut your appetite....See More

4 years agoI can't imagine them in a drawer because of the leaking risk! We do keep olive oil out on our stovetop because we use it all the time. We did a slim pull out, and I was worried it would be hard to find things - but I just put the things I use often towards the top front, and its the best and most useful thing. And then once a month, when I need sesame oil, it takes maybe 30 seconds to pick up a few bottles till I find the right one?
