Come Party With Me: Hoedown — Drinks
A lot of manly men will be attending my hoedown so I've decided to get a keg of beer. When selecting a keg, choose a versatile, easy-to-drink beer that's neither high- or lowbrow. I've ordered a keg of Lagunitas, an IPA native to my hometown.
Beauty Glossary: Ginger
No, I'm not talking about Geri Halliwell's formerly bright-red hair colour, but the well-known spice that originates from China, India, South East Asia, West Africa and the Caribbean. Ginger is often used in beauty products, partly because of it's distinctive spicy yet sweet aroma.
Ginger is generally famed for it's stimulating effects and is frequently a main ingredient in pick-me-up shower gels and body scrubs.

Ghost Lollipop Cookies
If spider cookies aren't really your style, how about ghost lollipop cookies? You don't need a special ghost shaped cookie cutter to make these screaming spice cookies, since they get their shape from a bent, used tuna can.

You Asked: My Relationship Has Hit a Lull
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I have been together for two and a half years. Recently I have been feeling like our relationship is boring and there's no excitement left. I was talking to a co-worker about this and she said that after you hit the two-year mark in a relationship things just start going downhill.
Spice it Up: Turmeric
Turmeric is a bright yellow spice with an earthy, bitter, peppery flavor. It is not commonly eaten on its own, but mixed with many spices to make curry, and I love curry!!!!
Aside from adding color to curry and other foods (it is used in conjunction with annatto to color cheese and can be found in mustard), this spice has some special medicinal attributes.

Make Your Own Pumpkin Pie Spice
For years I thought pumpkin pie spice was a special spice — only recently did I realize it's actually a spice blend. And, like any spice blend, be it herbs de Provence or a rub for barbecue, pumpkin pie spice is easy to make. Why waste a couple of bucks buying it when you already have the ingredients in your pantry?!
Brined, Bourbon-Glazed, Spice-Rubbed Turkey Is Deliciously Juicy
Last year, after reading countless turkey recipes, I finally decided on one from a somewhat unexpected source: Every Day With Rachael Ray. I didn't follow the method exactly — the magazine's recipe grills a turkey breast and I roasted a whole turkey — but I used the brine, spice rub, and glaze recommended. The resulting turkey, with a fiery brown color and slightly charred skin, was fabulously moist and super flavorful.
Say Farewell to Old Spices
The other day reader Marni dropped a line asking whether or not her mostly unopened spice rack she received four years ago was still good. I started to respond to her, when I realized that she's probably not the only one wondering how long spices last.
First of all, spices don't necessarily "go bad."
Off to Market: Spice Jars
From allspice to cayenne pepper, spices are essential to even the most basic kitchen. While I've accrued more and more spices over the years, I certainly haven't amassed more kitchen storage space. I've decided that I need a set of spice jars, or a spice rack, to organize everything methodically and efficiently.
