Unique drinking glasses can be hard to find. Sometimes you’re just looking for something a little different. Sometimes you just have too many empty glass bottles lying around…
Virtually any kind of glass bottle can be used to create drinking glasses, but wine bottles are some of the best due to their generally thicker glass (which means they are less prone to breaking) and often pretty colors.
Instructables has a great tutorial on how to make them.

Salads are often associated with the fresh greens that spring and summer bring. But there are also some great salad options for fall. Here are three.
Martha Stewart has a great recipe that’s perfect for this time of year: Zucchini Salad with Red Onion. This recipe that serves four is easy to prepare, there’s no cooking involved, and very few ingredients (red-wine vinegar, olive oil, salt & pepper, a red onion and zucchini).
AllRecipes brings us a Fall Salad with Cranberry Vinaigrette. This one has quite a few more ingredients, and does require some cooking.
The Food Network has an Austrian-Style Warm Potato Salad that sounds delicious. This is another salad that requires some cooking, but looks simpler than the salad above.

As we wind down from our peak vacation season and look toward closing down our seasonal homes for the winter, there’s still time to enjoy our ‘summer places’ with an autumn-themed meal or two.
Here’s a great list from About.com of entrees and side dishes featuring ingredients of the coming fall harvest.
Hit the farm stand, invite the neighbors over and toast the season and toast to next summer as well with a sweet glass of cider. Bon Appetit…or more appropriately, tadakimasu (Japanese), or mànmàn chī! (Chinese).

With the chilly nights of September, the frosts of October are not far behind. The bounty of summer produce that we have been enjoying for the past couple of months (corn and beans and tomatoes, oh my!) will soon disappear. The fall harvest is set to begin. Rather than mourning the salad days gone by, I like to think of what’s next? What is the new autumn bounty to tease the palette? With visions of squash soufflé and apple fritters dancing in my head, I decided to look to the Food Network’s website for inspiration. They have a wonderful page full of recipes for seasonal foods.
