A straw man argument 08/25/2011
 "Hey, that was my water glass!” “No, it isn’t. I set mine down right here!”  Resolve these unnecessary altercations with colored straws. IKEA puts out a 4-color pack that’s just perfect for this trick. Just have everyone pick a color to distinguish their glass. As an added bonus, with fewer glasses abandoned there are fewer glasses to wash.  Keep the straws right next to the water glasses to make this an easy habit to adopt. Add Comment Hottest Hook-up Ever!! 04/28/2011
 I make it a point to never divulge details of my hook-ups, but this was just too good! That's right, adhesive Command Hooks placed on the inside of the baking cabinet door...  or the spice cabinet. This solution not only provides extremely convenient access to your measuring tools, it conserves drawer space too. Now that's a hot hook-up! Male Refrigerator Blindness can be cured! 04/21/2011
 "I can't find anything to eat!" And just like that Male Refrigerator Blindness (MRB) has claimed another victim. The disorder is best characterized as a selective loss of visual acuity in association with a common foraging behaviour. "Despite the high prevalence of refrigerator blindness, its cause has not been established. The predisposition of males implies a genetic mechanism, but the refrigerator itself must trigger an inborn potential, since individuals become symptomatic only when standing in front of an open fridge. Possibly the hum of this apparatus (particularly older ones) mimics sounds once heard in the nurturing confines of the uterus, subconsciously reconnecting affected individuals with an environment where their nutrition was reliably provided even when they had their eyes closed". You can read more about this unfortunate illness at http://bit.ly/frigdeblind. If you've been battling MRB, help is on the way!  Sure you've relied on a lazy susan in your spice cabinet for years, so why not try it in the fridge? Located on the secluded middle shelf, the lazy susan solves 2 problems: first, it keeps leftovers from languishing behind the applesauce and second, with a simple spin of the susan, Male Refrigerator Blindness has found its cure  Soup: YUM!  Of all the office supplies I multi-task in my kitchen, my favorite is the binder clip. I keep them handy in the kitchen "junk drawer".  They are a perfect alternative to bulky bag clips or flimsy twist-ties to keep everything from chips to freezer frozen peas securely closed.  And the biggies work great for keeping the trash bag from caving in. Inspired Clipboard 04/10/2011
