A few suggestions: Winter Jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum)??? Japanese pieris (Pieris japonica)??? Witch hazels (Hamamelis spp.) ??? Camellia ??? You can do a Google Images search for "winter blooming shrubs" and possibly spot your mystery shrub. :-) Rosie

I forgot about red-spotted purples! They're B&B, but with no tails - when swallowtails age, the first things to go are the tails, so just because a B&B butterfly doesn't have tails doesn't mean it's a RSP. Red-spotted purples have reddish orange spots on their undersides. MissSherry

I definitely need some calcium chloride for the next round of pickles. These are from 06 so it's not too surprising that they're mushy! I cut my 2008 bread and butter pickles into thicker slices and ended up with a texture more to my liking. So far I've pureed one jar of them and mixed with catsup and some additional spices to make sloppy joes. They were okay but a *little* on the "weird" side. My younger son said, "Hey, what's this whitish-greenish seed looking thing??" (I think it was a mustard seed!) and my elder son said, "I don't know, but I smell pickles!" LOL! Thanks for all the suggestions for ways to use these. The peas, pickles, and cheese salad sounds kind of, how shall I say....yucky! :-D I appreciate the idea, however, and just might find myself intrigued enough to try it some day! I don't really do macaroni salad, but potato salad is a thought, as are the deviled eggs. I have chopped up sweet pickles and put them into tuna salad in the past, so that could be another option. I've never eaten sweet pickles on a green salad--could be interesting! The tip about pickling the beets with the leftover brine sounds good, since I also have a couple pints of home canned beets lurking in the closet!
