from My Recession Kitchen

Do we fall into the danger zone of lameness and predictability by asking you if you like Piña Coladas, or do we keep it professional by sticking to the fact that these cookies sound so appealing, we would totally shake our coconuts at them? Oops. So much for professionalism.

Kidde FX10K Kitchen Fire Extinguisher

Every kitchen should have a fire extinguisher. This is the one recommended by Cook's Illustrated. Note, this model uses sodium bicarbonate, which is good for flammable liquid and electrical fires (the kind of fire you might have in the kitchen), unlike all-purpose extinguishers that contain dammaging monoammonium phosphate.

Check out this sweet and rich yeast bread, that tastes like brioche (even though it's vegan), and is studded with rum-soaked raisins - awesome! This recipe is versatile too - you can even make it into a batch of killer cinnamon rolls.
