Best blender?
Comments (1)I have a Kitchen Aid and it seems to work fine. It crushes ice, purees anything I've put in there, and I have no complaints. One thing I like about it is that the buttons are all covered by plastic so there isn't grunge building up between the buttons. A quick swipe with a sponge and it's clean. Another plus: the glass is heavy. I personally don't like polycarbonate or other plastic containers. They eventually scratch and get cloudy. Admittedly I don't ask much of it other than an occasional pureed soup or some margaritas, but it works fine. I've linked to a page at Amazon which handles this blender. Check out other comments, mostly positive, by some Amazon shoppers. Here is a link that might be useful: kitchenaid blender...See MoreIs there a faster way to use sourdough sponge in bread
Comments (7)OK, I typed these. I have not tried these yet.. SOURDOUGH SCONES 2 cups AP flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp turmeric 2 Tbsp granulated sugar 5 Tbsp butter or margarine, cold ½ cup raisins 1 cup sourdough starter Preheat oven to 425 degrees; grease a cookie sheet. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, turmeric and sugar. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender. Add the fruit and pour in the sourdough starter. Mix quickly. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly. Pat into an 8 inch circle and cut into 8 wedges. Transfer the scones to the cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. The scones may be glazed with egg white and sprinkled with sugar, if desired.

Comments (49)The revised layout is just as bad as before Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Every time you go through those doors--especially while carrying laundry--you will have to open both of them. I think they are silly, inconvenient, and pretentious in a home. Totally agree. I can't see why they're "a thing". With that much closet space I’d be inclined to double stack the washer dryer in order to add a door directly to the utility room. Wash day would get a whole lot easier. I was going to suggest a door between the utility room and the closet. So many steps could be saved. I'd also move the washer/dryer to the exterior wall; this will allow the dryer to direct most efficiently straight to the outside. Cheaper and more fire-safe. As to stackable machines, two considerations: - Consider that this ties you into front-loaders, which are space hogs. I have enjoyed my current front-loader (they're way deeper), but I think I'll go back to traditional machines when these need replacing. - Go down to Lowes and see stacked machines are good for you. Personally, I'm way too short to choose them, which is too bad because I do like the concept. I honestly don't understand your quest for symmetry in the bathroom. Agree. Symmetry "shows" on a blueprint ... but it won't "show" at all in real life. I didn’t want 4’ for men. Just find it too small. I currently have 5’. Hence wanted at least 5’ and only way for it was to take it from women side and make it 5’ for both sides. Pinpoint for us ... WHY do you see 4' or whatever size as too small? Are you keeping a bunch of stuff on the countertop? Are you short on drawer space? Towel space? Personally, I like minimal stuff on the countertop -- no clutter, please. Looks messy and is an obstacle to cleaning. My husband and I share a 4' vanity, and we don't need more counter space. If it's drawer space that you think is too small, take some time to study vanities. Stock vanities tend to give lots of space to the sink (worse still if you're using duplicate sinks) ... and although the vanity may be ample-space-wide, the drawers may be tiny. Consider going with a custom vanity ... you can get MUCH WIDER drawers in the same space....See MoreAdenium squishy/sponge in the middle of the caudex
Comments (20)Thanks for the interesting, and additional information. My Adeniums were in fact, rotting.....from the inside out. All brown, rusty flesh....that's rotten in my book. Garbage was the best place for my moribund plants. Plants were delivered, bare rooted, for god knows how long, when shipped. Arrived dehydrated, set back, failing....but I gave it a good try and attempted to nurse the plants. No more wet-nursing plants for me. Now, I just heave the plants into the nearest trash. Do try nursing your plants back into some kind of health. It's a learning experience, at the very least. I have come to the conclusion that growing Adenium in cool, temperate climates, having long dark winters, is not for me. If I had a heated greenhouse, the story would be different. Maybe in my next life. I felt lazy today...so I watched a few hours worth of Adenium videos shot at those Thailand nurseries that raise all those special, show Adeniums. I was just astounded after seeing what heat, sun, good culture, fertilizer, and thousands of hours of attention can do for Adenium. I saw plants with root systems that spread out like an octopus, over the top of the soil. Adenium with huge, fat, trunks carrying racks of flowering, ramified branches....tall tower-style Adeniums. Adeniums growing in 5 ft diameter show-pots...even saw one women using a block and tackle to lift a gigantic Adenium for some root trimming. How can I attempt to compete in NYC-7b with its 3 month growing season? I can't. But, at least, I tried. Good luck and happy growing to all....See Morelucillle
