Hey everyone! Wow! So much going on here!! Sorry haven't checked in the last few days. Sorry I missed Bingo, been just crazy here. I'll start getting my seeds together to mail :) Here are a couple of recipes I love... RECIPE 1: Lazy Pigs ~1 small to med. cabbage ~1lb hamburger ~2 cans tomato soup ~2 med. onions ~2 cups brown rice Core cabbage, and cut into small pieces. Wash, set aside. Brown 1lb hamburger, reserving drippings to cook diced onions. Cook brown rice according to directions. In a large skillet (I use cast iron) combine cabbage, hamburger, onion, rice and 2 cans of tomato soup. Mix well. Add enough water to cover the top of your mixture. Cook 350, for about 1 1/2 hours. If you wanted to make this quicker, I cook the cabbage on top of the stove for about 20 minutes. Reserving the cabbage liquid to mix with some of my tomato soup. Mix everything together and cook 350degrees for 35minutes. Salt and pepper to taste :) RECIPE 2: Ham and Cheese Roll ~1 pound of ham; Sliced or cubed ~8 oz. of Havarti Cheese with dill, cubed small ~Your easiest dough recipe. Some times I've even used those flaky biscuit tubes (Grands, you need 2 tubes) ~ 1/2 cup peach jam ~ 2 Tbsp. mustard Roll your dough as normal. Like making a pizza. Or place your biscuits together in a 13x9 pan making sure their is no holes in the bottom. Place ham and cheese randomly over your dough bottom. In a bowl mix jam and mustard together using a small whisk. Pour over the ham and cheese, and spread evenly over the dough. Now you can either roll your dough like a stromboli, or if your using biscuits, open the second can and place over the ham and cheese mixture. Bake at 375. For actual rolled dough cook for about 30 minutes. For biscuits cook for about 20 minutes. They will both be golden brown on top. Yummy :) Have a great night!!

Oops, Jeana, I just found this over here. Sorry. Yes, having a good understanding of the coming trends is the best thing a developer can have. My nephew was interested in the "Katrina Cottage" concept, if you are familiar with it. Clusters of cottages, not lined up on the street. And when I get my laptop back, I'll tell you about an idea I had years ago for a community devoted to birdlovers. Sort of like a golfing community, but with a more communal approach than just all liking golf.

ok...another question. Please. So, I just went to my local quilt store and asked for Kona Black. (for the August block). They carry Kona Bay, and had black. However, is the Kona Black that is being requested for the August block a Kona black by Kaufman?? I'm more than willing to purchase whatever is required, but I guess I need more specific information!

Thanks Anne! I knew I had heard it somewhere long ago, will have to add it to my working vocabulary. I suppose I could have looked it up but my fingers typed it, and hit the reply button before I thought about it !!!! I also never tire of looking at all of the photos people post of their beautiful violets! Just makes my wish list grow longer!!!!!!! lol Rosie
