I especially like the convenience of pressure canned meats. They work fine for most casseroles, soups and stews... and canned ground beef can be turned into tacos or chili or added to spaghetti sauce in 3 shakes of a lamb's tail. You don't have to worry about your freezer dying and losing all...

Just ask Tim Allen to rewire it!

the pesto is the only recipe I've ever seen.

Have you seen the picture of a July 4th parade where the only person standing for the flag is a disabled Vet? He was able to pull himself out of his wheelchair long enough to show respect, while everyone else is sitting on the ground or in chairs, sipping sodas and eating snacks. Really sad...

... but that's only ONE; what if you are entertaining guests Nyboy? You surely aren't expecting everyone to *shudder* SHARE???

DH especially liked my name as my mother pronounced it-- she was a French emigree. The way she pronounced it, you would have expected it to be spelled Murielle- with the accent on the last syllable.

I found clearjel at our local Cash & Carry- a restaurant supply. I've also found it at our local extension office. There's two kinds of clearjel- the type that requires cooking, which is best for canning, and an instant type which is perfect for making instant pudding mixes instead of the...

Most of the time if I have a runny pie, it's because I was unwilling to let it cool long enough...

Early twilight is our favorite time of day. We like to just sit with a glass of something- wine, iced tea, lemonade... whatever. The herbs and flowers smell their strongest after the heat of the day, the ducks are wandering around being silly, and a lot of the wildlife comes out.

My husband used to make Peanut Butter and Mustard sandwiches... but he admits he was mainly trying to gross out his sister

Imagine the poor fellow who was christened Positive Wasserman Jackson.... Talking about southern accents... my real name is Muriel, a pretty name I always thought. Until my cousins came from Oklahoma to visit once and pronounced it "Merle".

My father's name was Pat (not Patrick) Knight Nicholson I have a book called Remarkable Names of Real People. My favorite in there is Supraporn Poopatana

and the best part is, you can pig out and STILL lose weight!

oh, @Lavender2, the cauliflower wasn't raw. I steamed it for about 10 minutes- just till tender.

Made a low carb "potato" salad using the one and only cauliflower I got of decent size, hard boiled duck eggs from our Campbells, some of last years homecanned dill pickle relish, celery (store bought- I can't seem to grow that), and rat tail radish seed pods... with mayo and home made dijon...

In medieval times they called it "garbage soup". I accidentally called my MIL's leftovers soup that one time. Took a while to convince her I wasn't insulting her cooking, lol

Your problem is you aren't illegal aliens...

Gardening puts you in rhythm with the seasons and the earth. Many of the eastern religions stress being in harmony with the cosmos, which starts by being in harmony with the part that is closest to you. It's a lot easier to do that by gardening and spending time outside than by watching TV or...

Right now we are at 82F, with 23% humidity. nicest it's been for weeks. But with that low humidity, the garden dries out really quickly

All any dog wants is a job to do. It's our job to help them understand what it is.
