I am reading this thread which was sent to me by Bev, after I spotted two cats. in my parsley and did not recognize them. I have grown a butterfly garden for a few years, seen several monarch cats., one chrysallis (which was gone the day after I saw it), and although I have grown parsley for over 15 years I have never seen a BST cat., in fact the only time I saw a BST was several years ago in a lilac bush. Sadly, only one of my cats. remains. It is growing well and this morning I spotted it munching away. The parsley plants seem no worse for the moment, they seem to prefer the curly over the Italian. Still wondering if I want to grow them. Lots of interesting informtion here. I just wanted to know what the result would be. I also wonder what the major predators are. I will look it up. Thanks for all the info. Northerner.

Yachter...I'm sorry when I posted my reply to you.. I referred to you as OA..so that reply was for you. Lynn...I hope you let us know if you went today..and if you bought anything. Syble...I have to tell you that I think your DH would like CB for their meals. Their food is like 'Home Cooked' meals. Not at all like FF Chainstore..I like that they will add something new each time we go. We started going to them when we traveled South, and I really looked forward to them. My DH is very 'picky' and he was impressed..So I'd say, give it a try at least once. Kathleen..thanks I like the soft colors too. I'm trying to figure out something for St. Pat's day.. I really don't have anything green..but will try to 'shop' again around my house! lol Punk...Glad you thought they were pretty.. The dishes can add up when you start to put the set together. That's why I bought some last year and added some this year. Even though they are a little different in pattern, they will still work together. All the pieces, including the cups, were $3.99 ea..Except for the plates and the S&Ps which were $5.99 ea...and the Egg Cups - $.99 ea.. I think your DGdtr would love them... jane

Hey Sue here is the basic Sullivan Street No knead bread. There is a video of it and lots of info if you Google it. One of the biggies was the salt. As I noted in my post on breads , there is a huge difference in salt. Kosher is a larger grain so it takes more than iodized salt. The original recipe has been changed back and forth by folks as to how they like their salt. Here it is the way we do it. 430 grams bread flour (about 3c) 345 grams warm water (about 1 5/8) better more than less 1/4 t instant ( if using reg you will need to dissolve in water 1st) 1 1/2 t salt ( reg not kosher) Mix flour yeast and salt. Add water and stir till blended. Dough will be shaggy and sticky. Cover with plastic wrap and leave at 70 degrees for 12-18 hrs. We find that 15 or so makes a better bread. Lightly flour a work surface and do a "french fold" 2 x. Cover with plastic and leave 15 min. Using just enough flour to keep from sticking shape into a ball and place seam side up in a basket lined with a floured linen towel....not terry cloth . Let rise 2 hrs till double. preheat oven and baking pot ( Le Creuset) for 30 min at 450. Carefully remove pot from oven and place bread gently into pot seam side down. don't worry if it seems to deflate. Will rise up again as baking. Cover with lid and bake 30 min. Uncover and bake 15-30 min till internal instant thermo reads 205-210 no more . and yes it will really change things if you add sugar. It will rise a lot faster . Also the crust will darken way more since it has more sugar to caramelize. Good Luck ! c

My DH and I were both raised in suburban homes. Neither of us ever lived where we could not walk right outdoors (except in college). After DH retired, we moved from one suburb to another twice as far from Chicago to escape increasing noise and pollution. That was 15 years ago, and at the time I hoped we could have at least 20 years in our new, one-floor home. Hmm...out in five? Eventually...and then what? We could stay in our home longer with taxi's to grocery, dentist, local hospital, and the RR station (four minutes). Our doctors are currently 20 minutes away. Our DS and family are 30 minutes away. We could move to assisted living in a townhome in this town -- or in an apartment closer to the city. We could become permanent passengers in a cabin on a cruise ship and keep circling the globe! LOL I think we will stay in our home and add help until we need assisted living -- or until the expenses of maintaining the home and yard outweigh our enjoyment of it. (Assisted living isn't *cheap* either!) One other thought: We've spoken of dangerous driving by impaired seniors. Yes, it is terrible news when one plows into something or someone, but I am more concerned about drivers of all ages who are overtired, distracted, or drug- or alcohol-impaired. News about these drivers infrequently makes it beyond the police blotter. My DH was broadsided by a 17-year-old girl who failed to yield to traffic coming over the RR tracks in the middle of our town. Didn't even make the blotter.

Yummy!

poptart - pasta - pizza - ribs

I don't know how lindy did it, but when I paused my cursor on each photo and waited a moment the above names appeared on the appropiate photo.

Very clever. I'm not hungry but feel the urge to start sewing!!

Mcmann - I don't know how I did that either. I just named each one after I loaded them on Photobucket.

The GKs got a play kitchen for Christmas and DD was making felt food for it. It was so cute and looked like fun so I had to try it. I do most of the sewing by hand but do use the sewing machine some. DSIL says he is the only one in the family allowed to make ribs!!!

These are really fun to make and craft felt is only 20 cents a sheet. Add a little stuffing and you've got a meal. (I made my pasta and the cheese for the pizza from flannel b/c it "puddles" better. DD had a fried egg, bacon, ham sandwich, hamburger in a bun with lettuce, tomato, pickle, tea bags, bow tie pasta and ravioli. I wish I had taken a picture of her "food". She was making an eggplant last time I talked to her.

I think I might do strawberries next. If you do a search for "felt food" you will get lots of ideas. The link below is for my favorite. This lady is a real artist.

It's the alt attribute portion of the HTML tag. I guess Photobucket provides that addition without you have to type it all in. They really look well done. Looks like fun, too.
