Comments (34)Thank you Barbara! Salmon Jack sounds intriguing. Can you tell me the fragrance for both? Laura, you need to stop this madness. You make EVERYTHING sounds good! What are you doing to me? Making ME think I can plant a cutting? As a mom I totally get what you're saying. Plant a cutting, nurture it and when it rewards you w/ flowers, it has to be the best feeling! However patience is not my greatest virtue! You know I have the type A personality that if I was baking I had to turn on the light to see what it was doing in the oven. When I was pregnant... I had to listen to the heartbeat every day to see what the baby was doing. Trust me if I could have afforded the Ultrasound machine I would have bought one too. I remember the first house we had I planted some bulbs from Holland... and w/in a few weeks I dug them up because I HAD to see if they were growing. Then I had this brilliant idea that if I didn't bury them so deep then I can see what was going on everyday. Bad idea, something ate my bulbs!! Others got moved so when Spring came it was a disaster! So rooting a plumie cuttings is going to do me in. Sitting on my hands for weeks w/out fussing w/ them is going to the the biggest challenge ever! Sigh...but you make me want to try. Especially for hard to find one like Lani, I'm not going to find a rooted plant. So I'm thinking about it. :)...See MoreI'm crying as I write this.
Comments (17)Thanks everyone for being as dismayed as I was. The thing that makes no sense still is how quick they left. I mean they didn't even wash out their cement mixer or their wheelbarrow. The PB said he'd be back on Monday with a trailer to pick up the other bags of diamond brite that I guess are out on the side of my yard hardening. Or maybe he's taking the mixer. I don't know. He told me he'd call his insurance man on Monday and the insurance would come out to look at it. He was happy we were taking pictures. I was trying to cheer myself up and asked him if they would at least put the light in the niche and get the wiring through the ground and that made him mad and he left. It's just surprising how the PB complains that it's costing him $30.00 in gas every time he comes to my house but yet they don't try to do everything possible when they're here. And they had tried to get the wire through the niche hole before they started the diamond brite by using a stick and nobody could see the stick outside of the pool so suddenly I'm thinking the conduit they attached to the niche before they shot the pool has sunk or something. So I didn't think it was an unreasonable request. When the PB arrived this morning the first thing he said to my husband was "I'm surprised you don't have the light hooked up" to which my husband replied "it's not my job". In answer to some of the questions: Bella-Orlando: Our pool is 12x24 and about 4.5 feet deep so yes, it's a small pool, but according to our PB today, that was $900.00 worth of materials ruined. I have no idea what his plan is, I've asked my husband get the PB to put in writing what they intend to do. I found out that I couldn't have filled the pool up anyway, since the light niche has an opening that leads somewhere out the pool, but might not be above waterline level. We're in Spring Hill, FL on the west coast. The PB sent my husband to get the plastic because gas is so expensive and because while he said he would pay for it, it was put on our debit card. I can assure you the PB is upset that he didn't get his final draw today, not because I was impacted. poolguynj: Thanks for the advice but I know that they're going to go over it. They're not going to remove it. They used stegmeyer (sp?) coping forms to make my pool coping. Something wasn't right with the mix. The pool builder tells me it's the best he can do. "You wanted the retro look, it looks retro". He didn't even know what the word retro meant until we met, and retro doesn't mean that it looks decayed and falling apart in two weeks. Here's a pic of my new coping along with what my pool looks like as they zoomed out of here. tresw: I didn't give them the plaster check. The funny thing is that when he popped over yesterday to drop off the mixer, he told my husband that because we're "strange" that he wanted us to pay him in cash. Fortunately my husband had to get on a phone call for work right after that statement was made :-0, I asked for clarification as to what made us strange. Seems that we are the only people that he has ever done any work for that actually point out problems like holes in the waterline tile grout, or coping that has cured for a week that dissolves when the garden hose water hits it. So he wanted cash because he was worried we might stop payment on the check....See MoreDear family cooks...write it down
Comments (43)Every once in a while my DH will unearth an "old family recipe" that his mom wrote down from Hong Kong. His grandmother and a couple of great-aunts were beloved family cooks. So it was very nice that she wrote the recipes down, but as others have posted, it's not really very helpful when there's no measurement of any ingredient, LOL! After being unable to recreate some of my improvised successes, I now make myself write down measurements, timing, and ingredients so I can make the dish again [smile]. I don't get into a big thing about lost family recipes anyway. Eating has changed so much in my lifetime; neither we nor my family eat the way we did 25 yrs ago. I have one recipe I recreated from a photograph that my family loves, and a few years ago I gave the recipe to my niece. But I doubt she'll ever make it. It's time-consuming, and not something her DH likes. So she doesn't have the time to make something like my recipe, in addition to other dishes she's making for a family special event....See Moresammy zone 7 Tulsa
