Bobbie says: I had a craving for Tuna Macaroni Salad today*, and since it’s a perfect hot weather main-dish salad, I thought I’d share it with you, too. I’ve based this on the way my mom used to make it, but Mom never followed a recipe, so I’ve come up with my own proportions. Also, …
Heather says: Let’s get the site adminstration stuff out of the way. Home-Ec101.com has been having some performance issues; my good friend Michael Carnell and I are working hard to make sure that we get it whipped into shape. The comment system has been changed, IntenseDebate seems to have been a part of the problem, …
Heather says: Earlier this week I asked Home-Ec 101 readers to share their questions about grilling. Sandee asked how should I grill a meatloaf?

Heather says: Sometimes I have to think of what I want to share. You see, there is a fine line between being authentic and admitting I screw up and celebrating mediocrity. Does that make sense to you? I believe that the media, whether it’s television shows or glossy magazines seem to either showcase these unreachable …
Heather says I’ll be winging my way home from Manhattan this afternoon. The BlogWorld Expo Conference was a great experience; while here, I also had the chance to meet my publisher. I’ve been running full tilt for two weeks straight and I never even gave Memorial Weekend a thought. Do you have plans? Are you …
Brian says: Let’s face it: anyone who has had the pleasure–and I use the term loosely–of living through a Charleston summer, or any southeastern heatwave, knows that it’s in your best interest to keep cool as much as possible.
