Do You Like to Get Dirty When Cooking?
Yes, I love getting dirty and using my hands to cook!
No, I don't like to get dirty in the kitchen.
Are You a Neat or Messy Cook?
I have a friend who doesn't like to watch Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten on TV because she's such a sloppy chef, but I don't mind her lack of precision.
It's good to know that even great cooks sometimes chop haphazardly and spill flour out of measuring cups. Are you messy in the kitchen?

Tips to Raising Independent Children
I liken newborns to birds because they often mimic their behavior at birth. As the mama bird, I feel it is my duty to give my lil chippers their wings to fly so they can become positive members of our society. A sense of independence gives a child confidence to conquer the world with a smile on his or her face.
Dream Cooking Scenario: A Computer in the Kitchen
My skills in the kitchen tend to fluctuate from the very elementary to the occasionally sophisticated (case in point: a beautiful soufflé that shall never be reproduced). What makes the biggest difference for me is having instructions, and not everything I want to make is in the Joy of Cooking.
I get most of my recipe ideas from food blogs like YumSugar, and my best solution for using a recipe I found online was printing it out and getting it covered with ingredients in my messy kitchen, or keeping my laptop somewhere safe and traveling to it for the next step.
Must-Read: Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey
Party recently polled you about dessert preferences, and it came as no surprise that most of you love dessert in any form. Many of you, however, singled out gooey, sticky sweets as your preference. Naturally, I had this in mind when I came across Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey: Desserts for the Serious Sweet Tooth ($15.61) by pastry chef Jill O'Connor.
Lil Tip: Bring the Ingredients to Their Level
Cooking with our kids is as rewarding an experience for them as it is a messy one for us. We know it is great for teaching our lil ones about healthy eating habits as well as expanding their math and reading skills.
Involving your youngest tots in the process is sometimes more of a hassle.
Delilicious: Playful Flower, Truck and Plane Pancake Molds
If your pancake flipping skills aren't prepared for the animal skillet, you might try the Heart and Daisy or Truck and Airplane pancake molds ($15 each).
Instead of pouring batter into a skillet and braving the flip, you place the mold on the griddle, then pour in the batter and cook until it's safe to remove the molds, flip the pancakes and cook. No more messy pancake slipping and sliding and your tots will go bananas for the fun shapes.
How To: Perfect Waves
While next spring is looking to be all about slicked-back 20's hair, low ponytails and oversize braids if London Fashion Week is anything to go by, this season is about laid back waves and textured hair styles. Whether you prefer it disheveled or perfectly groomed; wavy hair is back on our radar.
At Preen's autumn/winter show the girls had gloriously unkempt hair, while at Tommy Hilfiger and DKNY, (pictured), waves were ultra groomed and pristine, as though the models were 40's glamour girls.
Is It Ever Worth It to Air Your Dirty Laundry?
I'm sure you've all heard about the messy divorce between Christie Brinkley and her husband Peter Cook, who had an affair with his 18-year-old personal assistant, but if you're at all unfamiliar with their story, you'll soon know every little detail. Cook and Brinkley's Long Island judge has granted Brinkley's request for a public divorce hearing so as of July 2, you'll be able to follow along and learn about his cheating and alleged interest in Internet porn and swinger websites.
Obviously Cook fought to keep this matter private.
Discovering the Subtle Flavor of Forbidden Rice
The folks at Lotus Foods recently sent a few samples of their exotic rice. The company specializes in handcrafted rice from small family farms in remote areas of the world, and it has marketed several heirloom rice varieties that may otherwise have become extinct. It also works closely with the small family farms in order to provide them with an "honorable living."
