Dear Ispahan, Thanks for the follow up. I hope you will try Kaempferia rotunda too. Let's live life a little, and smell the gingers, roses not withstanding. And I will certainly share my results with the fragrant plants forum. I like your explaination. I only hope that I am one who CAN smell Asian Crocus! Many plants are of controversial fragrance, but you are right - in the case of some, the difference of opinion stems not from the quailty of the fragrance, but from there being any at all. One such plant that comes to mind is the netted Iris, I. reticulata. Does it smell like sweet violets, or no?.... Thank-you for the tip on Calathea concinna! It is now duely noted on my list. As to other unusual fragrant plants I grow, I shall only touch on a few, but they are good ones. Each is easy to grow, and would never shame you even if you never saw a single bloom, the way, say a yellow, bare-stemmed gardenia bush might! All of the "gingers" have fragrant foliage, roots, or both, and even the the common edible ginger (Zingeber officionalis) is worth growing for its corn stalk like foliage. Many have stunningly exotic blooms, each more enticing than the next, and wholly different from any flower you know. If I were ever to submit, and collect a certain type of plant, the various fragrant rooted genuses called gingers might be it. (This incedentally is a very worthwhile pursuit for those who garden along the gulf coast.) Of all these though, besides these Kaemperia Rodtunda, the only gingers with fragrant flowers are the white gingers, or butterfly ginger lillies Hedychium coronarium, and kin. These are must have plants. Famous as lei flowers, they will reward you with fragrance for months, and are as easy as cannas to over winter. The other ginger I cannot be with out is Alpinia Galanga - the Galangal ginger. It does not have fragrant flowers, but the tubers hold one of the scents of Shangri La. Ginger is there, but also, lemon, pepper, in smaller dilutions flowers, wintergreen - could it be vodka too? You must smell it for yourself. The Galangal is an edible variety. My other reccomendation is the asparagus fern. Yes, the one they sell in Walmart for $2 to fill in with window box impatiens. Bring yours in this winter, and you will have green little friend all through cold months. If you repot it, let it grow large, and grow it on for a year or so you may be rewarded with little non-descript white flowers. They are wonderfully fragrant, and you heard it from me. Afterwards, they produce attractive red berries. It seems an old plant, that is potted a little tighter than it would like, well cared for, and that gets a little bit of sunlight, is the one that will flower. My tip is to prune out the oldest stems each season though, as these tend to get thorny, just like the wild edible asparagus. Finally comes, Sansevieria trifasciata the common Snake Plant, or Mother-in-Law's Tongue. Does this surprise you too? Given similar care to the Asparagus Fern (although it will tolerate just about any, or none at all) it will blossom The flower spike apears from the soil and are decked with dainty finger shaped buds. These open from bottom to top over a week or so, and look like little honeysuckles with yellow-green curled ribbons for petals. They are just as worthwile to smell. Sansevieria Parva, called the Kenya Hyacinth, has the typical snake plant leaves, but looser, narrower, and more strap like - a different plant form entirely. Their flowers, white, or washed out mauve are fragrant in a different way to S.trifasciata, but also good. I hope you enjoy these. And you are right. We should start a thread about the more unusual fragrant plants. Best wishes, Sincerely, Matt

Pizza on a super thin crust, sometimes a tortilla, is a Bar Pizza or Bar Pie. Bar pizza is a type of pizza that is typically found in bars, pubs, and old-school restaurants mainly in New England and other parts of the Northeast. Unlike a traditional Neapolitan or New York-style pizza, a bar pie is usually small in size (typically 10 inches in diameter), and cooked in a pan. The crust is often cracker-like and many, if not most places that serve bar pizza use sauce out of a can. The cheese on top of a bar pie is often greasy and browned as it extends all the way to the edge of the crust. We make them all the time, quick and really good. I heat the tortilla in a hot, cast iron frying pan with some oil, then add sauce and cheese and seasonings, and put the whole thing into the oven to broil until the cheese is golden and bubbly. If I make a lot, I'll slide them onto a greased cookie sheet so I can broil two at a time. I also use naan, which is more sturdy. I follow the same procedure, heating it up in a cast iron pan before I add the toppings and broil it.

On the virtual memory error, a lot of times a reboot can take care of things. Rebooting solves a lot of troubles. Windows often gets "confused". There's several causes for virtual memory errors, a couple of them but surely not all, are too many things running in the background, programs not "letting go" of the memory, insufficient ram, etc. I think I may have led you astray on Comodo. I did a quick search and I'm seeing something that they don't support Windows 2000. A firewall is very important. You should look for one though. I'll see what I can find. The AVG "warnings" are just that. It's a bad term, tends to indicate more danger than there really is. Tracking cookies can be bad so it's good that they remove them. If you get Spywareblaster working you'll have fewer of them. But let AVG do its job and it'll protect you. You're learning as you go. Good for you. Enjoy the computer!

It would be nice if fast furniture is done as a trend, but I don't think so. There's 70s plaid, and then there's (contemporary) plaid. And if wicker and rattan are out, someone had better tell all the style mavens on Instagram : ) . Few of whom seem to be in Florida. I had to check the date on the article because it seems at least 10 years old with many of the items items, like Tuscan kitchens, Hollywood mirror lights, sponging, harvest gold/avocado green, lace doilies, etc. The author seems to have been in an interior design coma for a while.
