Pour over fruit. Bake 350Â° for 30 minutes. Remove, cool and refrigerate overnight. Reheat at 325Â° until bubbly (about 30 minutes).

Great recipe! Not sure about the curry but it might just add the right amount of umph. I may try this one if I do a Christmas brunch. I'm thinking about it, but if not I may try it to take to family dinner for Christmas.

Thanks!

Back again, my previous post the URL doesn't work, from JD website, so here a copy and paste from that website concering JD service costs. SERVICE CONTRACTS - RESIDENTIAL OWNERS/USE Visit http://www.JohnDeere.com/ServicePlans for more information on John Deere Service Contracts.

I just got the invoice for the annual service on my GT275 which is equivlant to the basic X500. It was to be $433.18 turned out as $375.81(163.39 parts, 175.81 lab, 26.62 misc, and 9.99 tax). Last yr. I believe I paid about $290. don't have the exact amount without digging in to last yrs. papers. The 2 largest part charges were ($42.75/blades and $78.00/muffler). The invoice is 2 pages so I will not list all items individually. I am sill waiting on the trade quote, but at these charges that Scag Tiger Cub is looking better all the time. Green is good but when it comes to these prices - well I begin to wonder. johndeere, yes I'm am seriously considering that green will be gone and not more green. If I sell it outright the invoice will be displayed with the tractor and if I trade it to the Scag dealer they will see the invoice also. If I do stay green JD dealer has a copy. Two last things to remember; I don't want to have it stolen - and there are plenty of JD nuts that will pay for it, and John Deere green ain't cheap to own. To the original poster, yes you are getting a very good deal on that Craftsman mower.

Is one compost better than another?

To the original poster's question, I suspect the leaves-and-grass-clippings pile might be higher in Nitrogen, and the other pile would be more 'fungal'. Which is better depends upon the crops you want to grow. I have two piles that are (slowly) maturing. One is made of leaves and grass clippings, the other used ramial wood chips, shredded pine needles, grass clippings and 'golden fertilizer'. The leaves and grass clippings will be used in vegetable garden beds. The second pile, higher in lignin, will be use on the asparagus, raspberry, strawberry, and other perennial beds. My theory is that the lignin will help promote mycorrhizal relationships.

Thanks! Considering that they were whole bulbs when planted in the spring of 07, how long will it take for the bulblets to achieve blooming size? And will the parent bulb be more likely to bloom better once the babies are separated? These were GREAT lilies and I will be happy to have lots more of these colors. (I wonder why some planted at the same time produce bulblets and some don't...)

LOOKING for: Shrimp and Grits, a better one than this pls

Saw this last night on the Food channel, watching Paula Deen's Cooking Class. Thought someone might be interested in it. She sure made it sound good! Of course, she makes everything sound good! Shrimp Florentine over Tomato Grits Tomato Grits: 2 cups water 3/4 cup milk 1 teaspoons salt 1 cup quick cooking grits 1 stick butter, plus 1 tablespoon butter 1/3 cup green onions, diced 6-ounce garlic cheese roll 2 1/2 cups Cheddar, shredded 10-ounce can diced tomatoes and green chiles 2 eggs, lightly beaten Shrimp Florentine: 2 tablespoons butter 1 clove minced garlic 12 shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 to 2 lemons juiced White wine, for deglazing 1 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Grand Padana 2 cups fresh spinach, packed down 1 dash ground nutmeg Salt and pepper Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. To make the tomato grits, in a saucepan, bring the water and milk to a boil. Add the salt. Slowly add the grits and return to a boil; stir for 1 full minute. (The secret to preparing good grits is the initial stirring of the pot.) Reduce the heat, cover, and cook for 3 minutes. Stir the grits and add 1 stick of butter, stirring until it has melted. Cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the grits are thick and creamy. Remove from the heat and set aside. Saute the onions in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter for 1 minute. Add the garlic cheese, 1 1/2 cups Cheddar, and onions to the grits, and stir until cheese is melted. Add the tomatoes and green chiles and mix well; stir in the beaten eggs. Pour the grits into a greased 8 by11 by 2-inch casserole. Bake the casserole for 40 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the casserole for the last 5 minutes of cooking time. To make the Shrimp Florentine, start with 1 tablespoon butter in saute pan. Add minced garlic and shrimp. Deglaze with lemon and wine. Add cream, cheese and spinach. Reduce, season, to taste, with salt and pepper and pour over grits. Leslie

I'm thinking cinnamon may be better than curry. I like curry but it doesn't seem right with the other stuff. I never really had a warm fruit salad.. sort of seems like a pie without the crust. If anyone tries it with the curry, let us know how it turns out.

Reviewed on Nov. 26, 2002 by JUBIL Excellent, but I prefer using all brown sugar. Strange, but in this recipe the curry tastes more like nutmeg than curry. I also like to add a few toasted pecans on top of this dish just before serving. Judy

Reviewed on Sep. 7, 2002 by GASDRYER I was leary becuase I am not a curry fan, but I was trying this for my husband who is. I was so surprised! It smelled good while it cooked and the sweetness really brings out the different flavors in the curry, it was really good. I might take this to my mom's for Thanksgiving!

Reviewed on Aug. 29, 2002 by DBLUNCK Served this at two brunchesat my home. The ladies just raved about it. They all wanted the recipe. Now fifteen more women know about allrecipes.com. dblunck

As for fruit salad, I normally make Ambrosia (Hawaiian) Salad:

1 Large can pineapple chunks, drained
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup small marshmallows
1 cup coconut flakes + some for topping
1 cup sour cream
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Mix and place in a glass bowl. Then place cherries (cut in half) on top if desired. Sprinkle some coconut flakes on top.

Chill before serving.
