    Can you use your baking stone to warm up your bed before getting in?

    I thought the same thing, but I don't know if tiles of that sort are food safe. I guess some research is required here.

    Confession time. I don't have a pizza stone, and I have this bread thing that I'm going to start doing, and they recommend baking it on a pizza stone. What do I get? Is there a huge difference from stone to stone? The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That...

    Crazy Neighbor. Coward Landlord.

    I don't think I could ever live in an apartment again because of things like this. I like shoveling snow, and maintaining my property. Screw crappy neighbours living in the same building, my kids complain enough.

    This is bloody stupid. NBC has a strangle hold on broadcasting rights, and doesn't broadcast it. Bastards.

    Squash is awesome. You can do almost anything with it - soup, chili, bake it, side veg, mash it, I made it into hummus, deep fry it, add brown sugar so the kids love it, make it salty so everyone loves it...It's versatile, and reasonably cheap most of the year. It's also very easy to grow if...

    And why in the hell, on the first Saturday of the Olympics, is NBC not showing Olympics?

    Crazy Neighbor. Coward Landlord.

    Have friends over one night, and spend a couple hours loudly plotting how to get rid of your neighbour's body in the event that he makes any more trouble. He'll be listening.

    Making a fritter with tempura batter around kabocha squash, served with fried sage leaves and a green curry cauliflower over rice tonight. Easy, but hopefully tasty!

    Dry that shit out really well, and see if you can't salvage it with plaster repair, rather than tearing out drywall.

    It's a PBS show. The Mind of a Chef | Shows | PBS Food He comes off as a rough, unpolished guy initially, but he does know his stuff. He said that he loved the flavour of the very soft, unpressed tofu, and he makes a version of it in his restaurant that is virtually indistinguishable...

    There are vegetarians in the crowd, so I'm cooking for everyone. Someone else is bringing a roast. Plus, with ingredients like butternut squash, who minds? That's some tasty stuff. I just watched an episode of "The Mind of a Chef." Anyone else know that? Not a super show if you're...

    I love the Olympics, a lot. The Winter Olympics more than the summer. Perhaps it's the Canadian in me. If Russia shits this up, I'ma be honked off. NBC generally messes coverage up enough to be ridiculous, but if NBC's crappy coverage is exacerbated by crappy Olympics because of Russia, it...

    My neighbourhood has about 100 houses in it. We're pretty rural. However, I talked to people from in town today, and they were doing similar things there. The city actually released a statement tonight, saying that now they had the neighbourhoods all cleared out (they do), they're sending out...

    Okay, I just witnessed something pretty cool. The plow just came down the street. The guy had already been down, but he pushed things back even further, and, after doing that, he came through again, and cleared out the mouth of everyone's driveway, and pushed the piles back so people could see...

    I actually screwed a large, spring rat trap to the rotten beam. I've caught three squirrels today. A few more days like this, and I'll be okay closing that beam back up.
