She's called a Writing Spider around here, because of the zigzag pattern in the center of her web. They eat lots of mosquitoes and flies, so we leave them be. Whenever my kids see one they start looking for the big, white, round egg pouch they produce. We also leave those be, so that we have...
I think that you have to chew the seeds to ingest enough ricin to make you sick. I read that 6-8 seeds is the fatal dose in humans. I don't think the roots would be a problem.
That's easy, you just put some dried tomatoes in the food processor and pulse until you have powder. A blender would work, as would a mortar and pestle if you're feeling old school. :)
You'd have to adjust the amount of liquid in the recipe ( a little less, depending on how juicy the tomatoes are), but it might work. Why don't you try it Cat, and let us know how it turns out?
Lesa, it has baking soda and baking powder in the flour, not yeast. I think it's mostly for quick breads. I used it because I was out of baking powder, and didn't feel like running to the store. You could add the tomato powder and herbs to any biscuit recipe.
I made these for dinner tonight and they turned out so well that I just had to share. I used tomato powder that I made from some dried cherry tomatoes and basil that I dried. I put the recipe on my blog for anyone who wants it...
If it's organic it's not a GMO. Basically all processed food is either made with GM corn or GM soy. Most cotton is GM, most sugar from sugar beets is GM, most canola oil is GM. There aren't very many GM fruits and veggies in the produce department...yet.
My goats would laugh at me if I tried to keep them in that pen. They just love to escape. A 6 foot chain link fence keeps them in...most of the time. As for eating everything but the garden, good luck, mine could be surrounded by alfalfa and corn and they wold still rather eat my plants. They...
"Painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red
We dare not stop
Or waste a drop
So let the paint be spread
We're painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red
Oh, painting the roses red
And many a tear we shed
Because we know
They'll cease to grow
In fact, they'll soon be dead
And...
