I'm not a huge fan of curry, lemongrass or even Thai food in particular, but this soup, served for many years by the original owners of the Kona Inn Restaurant in Hawaii, is absolutely wonderful if you like things spicy and sweet. Many years ago, in what was either a mistake or the greatest act...

Looking to replace a gas stove/oven combo with another (gas stove/electric oven combo is also ok), but no matter where we look the current designs are virtually identical: thin and/or cheesy looking grates, sealed burners (dealbreaker #1 for us), plastic backpanels directly on the stovetop...

Any AW member who knows cars, can you tell us the likely year this photo was taken? The yellow CA plates on the cop car were issued from 1958-1963, but the photo might date to somewhat later than 1963. Answers either here or via PM would be appreciated. Thanks!!

We bought a new medicine cabinet at HD and it had large mirror coating scratches right out of the box. So we went back to exchange it, all of their remaining three units had the same problem. Not sure what's up with Koehler's quality control, but we finally returned it and went with one online...

Today our Speed Queen washer (AWS76, from 2007) stopped toward the end of a wash cycle, and now there's no response at all from the timer. Circuit was checked and is good. It was hot day and our garage (where the washer is) was even hotter, and the load was a big/heavy one. So we're thinking...

Here's a live feed from four recently installed HD cameras onboard the International Space Station. If the video feed is dark, it's because the station is passing through Earth's shadow, and if it's gray they're manually switching between cameras. The first takes about 45 minutes and the other a...

There used to be one product called Woolite. Now there are at least three (Everyday, For Darks and Extra Gentle). From performance and smell, we're guessing they went to more aggressive formulas (probably with enzymes) for the Everyday and For Darks products, and Extra Gentle is what used to be...

Before anyone asks, yes Westinghouse really did commission a 6 1/2 minute film to push two pieces of sheet metal with wallpaper stuck on it. And to answer the other question, yes the dancing is necessary while you ruin your perfectly good refrigerator. Now I just need to figure out what person...

Our house is newer yet we notice cold air streaming in from the outlets, plumbing and other openings, even on interior walls (though the problem is much worse on exterior walls). We found this video on Lowe's site and are hoping for any first-hand experience, either with this product or other...

It was one of my favorites as a kid, and for years I've been trying to find a copycat recipe for the chili. If anyone knows of one please share. :) Used to have mine with American cheese on top, no onions. :) The closest in taste I've found is Campbell's Chunky Roadhouse Chili, but it's not...

Robert/Fred, have you thought about adding a highlighted "My Posts" icon, when unread responses exist in threads a user has posted in? I hope you can visualize what I'm talking about. It would be a way to know at a glance whether unread posts exist.

If there's a recent discussion on this topic directions would be appreciated. We searched and couldn't find one. We're in the market for a new fridge, and due to the house layout we not only want but need one that's as close to dead quiet as possible. We've even looked into absorption as a...

No not those. :) We were looking for info on snowblowers and stumbled on a few robotic and remote controlled units. As far as I know all of them are prototypes and none have made it to a production line, but here's the best one I've seen so far. Imagine never having to shovel snow off your...

There seems to be a difference of opinion on just how cold it has to get for pipes to fail. Weather Channel claims an outside air temp of 20F or less is required for it to be a problem (see http://www.weather.com/activities/homeandgarden/home/hometips/severeweather/pipefreeze_prevent.html)...

Local roofers and gutter companies are pushing these, but we've not been able to find much feedback about them from users. We're wondering how often (or if) the screens needs to be cleaned off. Here's a pic of one:

We need a over-the-range microwave and were looking at the Panasonics. If anyone has one, does their inverter technology make much difference in the real-world, I mean apart from the usual marketing hype. :) I read something not long ago about increased magnetron failures on these models, is...

Probably the dumbest question ever posted on AW, but we're trying to replace a scratched graphic panel on a 2008 Speed Queen top loader (AWS76), the panel is held on the sides with two hex-head, non-slotted screws. The problem is, these two screws are recessed and clearance around them is very...

First experience with a "quick 1-hour" dishwasher cycle (Maytag). Anyone know what's different about it? The manual says it "uses slightly more water and energy than the normal cycle" but doesn't explain further. Thanks for any info!

Anyone know what compelled refrigerator manufacturers (or at least Sears) to start burying cubic footage info for their models? It took us over an hour to stumble on this website, for anyone else looking: http://www.kouba-cavallo.com/refmods.htm

We're huge fans of unscented Tide and it's pretty much all we use for heavily soiled loads, but when we ran out of it last week we tried some regular Tide. We still can't get rid of the smell. No we didn't use too much. Not that the odor is unpleasant, but it's been making us sneeze and...
