I have to admit that this is one of my little 'cheats' in the kitchen. I have NEVER made breakfast potatoes from scratch. They are just too good, too cheap, too easy to purchase them frozen. Sure, I doctor them up quite a bit, but my sanity is worth more than a couple dollars' of spuds. Kudos to...

Awwww.....boo hoo....feel so sorry for the Air BnB hosts who are being asked to change their ways....NOT!

my mantra in cases like this??? "Your failure to plan does not, for me, an emergency make." Feel free to adopt/adapt as applicable.

So, when did they end up vacating the premises?

A newbie here in town was explaining her 'rainy day' project of cleaning out the previous owners' paint (yes, it had gone back to 1994 - 2 past owners). Here's what she found: *13 5-gallon buckets *3 2-gallon cans *53 1-gallon cans and she stopped counting the quart cans at 20!

Your failure to plan does not, for me, an emergency make.

I hate TA. You know what struck me as interesting today? When you look at your destination's main 'city' page, how come "Vacation Rentals" get their own icon along with "Hotels", but "B&Bs" don't get their own clickable icon? No, we are a sub-set of the 'Hotels' icon! That's disgusting!

Painting? We have no fewer than 3 dozen cans of used paint in the basement. One thing I've found incredibly liberating is to forgo the white ceiling and paint it the same color as the walls! Another is to bite the bullet and pay a little extra for the paint with the primer in it.

I find charging for bottled water is so 'hotel'. If it's such a hassle, don't offer it at all, or raise your rates, offer it for free and be done with it.

Does anyone know what happened to the Innkeepers in Missouri who were sued by a neighboring (I use that word loosely) B&B/Restaurant? She posted on the Innkeepers FB page over a week ago and I've heard nothing since.

who falls for this any more?

Thanks, everyone!

Good afternoon! I'm looking for some advice on whether or not to change the price of one room. I have 5 rooms; 3 different price points and all priced higher on weekends. All rooms have private bath with shower, fireplace and a/c, flat screen TVs with WiFi and dvd. All rooms have identical...

You mean like this? http://www.authenticbandb.com/cgi-bin/2013amenitiesdetailall.cgi

Consider this, though...the first time the guest rents the room directly thru Air, and the tax is collected (by Air) and given to the state (supposedly). However, for subsequent return visits to the same Air property, the guest contacts the Air host directly and pays them directly, therefore...

I'm SO glad that people could vote more than once. Thanks, Guillum! I have a new fridge with your help.

Turned out to be a bust here. More wind than anything else. Daughter's school was first a 2-hour delay then eventually cancelled altogether. She was bummed because that means no 4-day weekend next week for the President's Day as they take Friday back for a snow day.

I have a recipe for a bran muffin where you make a big batch of batter and keep it in the fridge and bake when you need it. I love this recipe for slower times of year. batter keeps for 6 weeks!

Here's one to consider. LOTS of potential here! http://tours.tourfactory.com/tours/tour.asp?t=1156239
