Stain my cabinets light blue? or do White on white on white?
Comments (18)Regrettably, that is not my kitchen. It is one whose colors I tried to replicate, with results so bad (this is how I know how wrong colored stains can turn out) that I had to go another direction completely . The kitchen is by Timeless Kitchen Design. They have a web site and a blog, and even a proprietor -- Kevin Ritter -- who may be able to identify the hardware. For anyone who might yearn to have one of his wonderful kitchens, forum member honeychurch has posted here and on a blog about her experience. The irony is that the photo that so won my heart is actually somewhat distorted from the original, which is slightly warmer in its coloring. Here is a link that might be useful: Timeless Kitchen Design...See MoreMiso Keeps Practically Forever; What Else Does?
Comments (7)I've compiled a list of foods from various classes I've attended on home food storage, web sites on the subject, like Millennium Ark, and general snippets of "odd knowledge" about foods that have an indefinite (or nearly so - 20-30 years) shelf-life. They do, however, require proper storage, which means avoiding HEAT, LIGHT, MOISTURE, OXYGEN, and INSECT INFESTATION, in most cases. -Ghee -Tomato powder -Instant coffee -Most dry pastas (30-years, except those with lots of eggs - like egg noodles) -Dried corn, soy, wheat, white rice (20 to 30-years) -Salt (iodized salt may turn slightly yellow, but is safe to consume) -Most bouillons (powdered) -Mayonnaise (unopened) - this one, I admit, was surprising -Lentils, chia seeds -Vanilla (real) -White vinegar -Cornstarch -Honey, maple syrup, corn syrup, agave nectar, sugar, brown sugar -Powdered coffee creamer (non-dairy) -Gelatin powder (sealed envelopes or sealed canisters) -Non-fat dry milk powder (hermetically sealed in #10 cans - 20-years) -Dry potato flakes (hermetically sealed) -Rolled oats (hermetically sealed, 20-years) -Dried apple slices (hermetically sealed, 30-years)...See MoreHow to emulsify this dressing using miso?
Comments (10)Sounds a bit bland and not at all Asian. If you like it thats cool. Have no idea where the dressing police came from and want such a high oil to vinegar ratio. I have never used that much oil in any dressing. I reverse the ratio. I want flavor and use less dressing. Using a blender will emulsify your dressings. A tbsp of toasted sesame seeds or a few cashews in the blender will give a little stick. A dozen raisins, i like a date or two. (Instead of sugar). A splash of soy sauce and tbsp of fresh grated ginger will make it more 'Asian'. Miso is a great addition. Might be time to experiment and make your own recipe. Add your miso when the vinegar and sugar (try brown sugar) comes off the stove to cool. Add still warm to dissolve it. Rice vinegars are often full of sugar. Not always on the label. They just use extra sugar in the fermenting process. Or just cheat. Like the olive oil cheaters that add green dye and a fancy label. I see no problem making a family recipe as is if it is what family likes and remembers. Blender it, pour off half, use two separate bowls of prepped cabbage slaw, then make a new version in the other bowl. Using the blender remains for yours. I've been making slaws all winter instead of leaf salads this year using all sorts of veggies and not always the Asian style. I rarely use any oils. Waiting for fresh garden crop salad greens. Been a nice change as grocery salad greens are so bland and expensive....See MoreHelp! Which Beige/White Wall Color when using Dover White as Trim
Comments (5)Thank you again for your advice on colors. I love the combination of colors you have chosen. But I feel that again, I have not been very clear. The "landing" I am referring to is on the 1st floor. Unfortunately, in that dark niche outside the two bedrooms, I cannot hang anything because a thermostat was placed on that wall, and the A/C man just confirmed that it cannot be moved without a lot of work and expense. That is very unfortunate!! There is a "landing" on the 2nd floor too, along with a long hallway that connects bedroom to bathroom and study. In my opinion, the color of the stairwell will have to also be the color of the walls on this 2nd floor hall. Walls of study are BM 1077; walls of bathroom are SW Krypton; walls of bedroom are BM 1075. Please let me know if the colors you are showing are BM 1077 and SW Dover White. Those are colors I would like to stick with in my color scheme in general. I just believe I need to go lighter than BM 1077 on the walls of this hallway and on the 1st floor landing....See More- 9 months ago
