This is a very neat site. I also loved the picture with the couple on the bench, and him standing alone. It "spoke" volumes. Thanks for the site of the day, Casey

Thanks Su! I will let you know how the streps do. AND I am really antsy to start some of my mini trailers and micro mini leaves! There are some that could be started. But first I want to make sure I have the right stuff for them. I am thinking a little raspberry container cause it has a lid. The lid and the bottom have slashes in them for great ventilation. Oh I have never had a micro mini and the smaller something is the more it fascinates me!!! Rosie

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.

No floral. Don't touch beer. I know it is just a trick of my imagination, but I can plainly see a face, with 2 eyes, with wriggly eyebrow, nose, mouth and what could be a small hand in front of the mouth. Looks just like a typical garden gnome to me. I know it is just an artifact of the image, but I've always considered myself to have very little imagination. I wonder what is in the spring air?
