Heather says You may find this funny; it’s been a few weeks, and I’m still somewhere between puzzled and amused. There was recently a request, from an individual, for this site to test multiple smooth stovetops and rate them by manufacturer and glass type. I am hoping that this person just doesn’t realize that: a) …
Heather says: I don’t talk about my life too much here on Home-Ec 101 because I want this site to apply to all adults (even those who feel like they are pretending) no matter where they are in their life. Whether you have just left college and are trying to figure out what you need …
Heather says: I’m embarrassed to admit I messed up. I forgot to write up the post notifying commenter ” deneicer1″ won the Sierra Mist giveaway. Amy and I agreed the Holiday Appletinis were right up our alley. If you could email me your mailing address / contact info I’ll get it into the proper hands. Congrats!
Heather says: Every year I try to do a look back over what’s happened with the site in the past 12 months, and just about a year ago I said: “If 2011 is half as fun or productive, it shall go down as a win.” Before I even bring out the numbers, let’s make it …
Heather says: Earlier this week Home-Ec 101 hit a major traffic milestone. Over 1 million unique users visited this site in the past 12 months. (In about a week, I’ll be able to say over a million in 2011). That, my friends, is a lot of people (there are only 10k in my town). Want …

Heather says: Hi! I’m currently in San Antonio, TX. I don’t have my usual level of connectivity, so please excuse the lack of regular posting today. I’m hoping to bring you a recipe for couscous tomorrow from Chef Ellen Adams. I’ll be playing sous chef and gopher today and tomorrow as we prepare for the …
Heather says: I hope all US Home-Ec 101 readers have a wonderful weekend celebrating Independence Day. The rest of you? Well, I still hope you have a happy 4th of July. (Remember that old lateral logic question -Do they have a 4th of July in England?) I’m excited to announce that I’m working with the …
Heather says: It’s good to see all of you, hope most of you aren’t too hungover after celebrating the non-end of the world. If any of you have a cure for removing REM from my internal playlist, I’d be forever grateful. Next week will be a bit unusual. I have posts from the Home-Ec 101 …
Heather says: Four years ago I was scared. Was this a project people would be interested in? Would people care at all about what we had to say? Well, I’m still here plugging away four years later. Today I’m launching the Home Ec 101 Forums. Some of you have been asking for forums for a long …
