• How to Paint Wooden Furniture
  
  After my many posts about my painted freecycle furniture, lots of you asked for a tutorial on painting and I’m finally getting around to it.  While I’m not a professional painter and my paint jobs aren’t perfect, I hope this post will be helpful to you.

• Wednesday Baking: How to make Challah
  
  Those of you who do have challah-making Jewish grandmothers can feel free to correct any inaccuracies in this post. If you are want to go dairy-free, though, you can certainly feel free to use oil or whatever butter substitute product you prefer. My challah recipe is much simpler…it uses six strands of dough, but you use those six strands to make two separate braids, which are then stacked on top of each other.

  Recently, several of you have submitted questions related to baking, so instead of sharing a recipe today, I’ll answer those questions.
