Comments (26)Wait a minute, $10 for a cutting or the whole plant? For the plant it is a fair price. I'd pay no more that $15 for the pot she is holding, if that is what she is asking. The larger ones, I'd snatch up for no more than $25 for the pot, even if they are probably NOID's. But I live in a state where I can drive a few hours either way and be in Epi heaven. If she is asking those prices for cuttings pay no more than $5 tops for the oxy and $7 for the hybrids. Have you asked on the exchange forum, I'm sure somebody would be more than happy to send you a cutting. I would, but I don't trade out of state for anything but rooted plants or something I really, really want. I would ask Pirate Girl where a good place to find epies is. If I remember right she has a few of them....See MoreCombined kiddie Xmas gift
Comments (9)If you're planning on spending $50, go ahead and spend a tad more, and get them small gifts. I go to lots of (too many) toddler birthday parties, and limit my gifts to $15 per child. Target has wonderful toys and I always stay under budget. Recent girl example: singalong microphone (tunes into FM stereo) Barbie makeup travel case Play jewelry Recent boy example: Two eggs of silly putty Toy hot rod car that lights up underneath (way kewl) Set of Scooby matchbox cars (there were 6 vehicles) Another boy example: Spiderman doll, like a foot tall, that was poseable. National Geographic binoculars Great ideas under $5: Videos (target has some for $5 and some for $6 that are good selections) Don't know what they are called, but there are these sets of peel-and-stick restickable stickers, that you can make all kinds of scenes with. They have bob the builder, Dora the explorer, sponge bob, etc. They make great travel toys for DD and her friends because they're quiet. Lots of games are right at $5, like CandyLand, Memory Games, and others. Again, books are usually under $5. Just some ideas. So you could easily put together a little gift bag for each of the 4 kids, and stick to a $60 budget....See Morerecipe: looking: for recipes for food xmas gifts.
Comments (34)I found this one today. OVERNIGHT APPLE BUTTER mixture of apple varieties, rather than just one type, will produce apple butter with rich, complex flavor in this slow cooker recipe. Good choices include Esopus Spitzenburg, Granny Smith, Jonathan, Northern Spy, Rome, Stayman, Winesap, and York. Enjoy the apple butter over toast or English muffins, or serve it with pork chops or chicken. Yield 4 cups (serving size: 1/4 cup) Ingredients 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup honey 1/4 cup apple cider 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/8 teaspoon ground mace 10 medium apples, peeled, cored, and cut into large chunks (about 2 1/2 pounds) Preparation Combine all ingredients in a 5-quart electric slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 10 hours or until apples are very tender. Place a large fine-mesh sieve over a bowl; spoon one-third of apple mixture into sieve. Press mixture through sieve using the back of a spoon or ladle. Discard pulp. Repeat procedure with remaining apple mixture. Return apple mixture to slow cooker. Cook, uncovered, on high 1 1/2 hours or until mixture is thick, stirring occasionally. Spoon into a bowl; cover and chill up to a week. Stovetop variation: Combine all ingredients in a Dutch oven. Cover and cook over medium-low heat 1 hour or until apples are very tender, stirring occasionally. Strain through a sieve as recipe instructs in Step 2. Return mixture to pan. Cook, uncovered, over medium-low heat 15 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently....See MoreCasserole carrier xmas idea
Comments (9)I have one of these. I LOVE it. It shouldn't be to hard to make one without a pattern. Use something large like a micro wave tray as a circle pattern. Cut two. In one of them cut a circle opening, and then cut the donut shape in half. Cut two handles. Hem the straight sides of the donut shape. Make a casing for a drawstring at the inner circle. Sew the sides of the two circles with the handles between them, right sides facing. turn right sides out, and thread a drawstring through the casing. :) Moni...See Morevannie
