what would you do with lots of leek sets ?
Comments (2)I'd trade some for other things you want. And be sure not to plant the leek anywhere near your elephant garlic - or ornamental Allium - as they can look very much alike - and that can cause uncertainty about exactly what to pull for cooking as an actual Leek.. You'll also be unsure about which to mulch/blanch for more tender white Leek stems....See MoreIf you had only a small garden, what would you plant?
Comments (25)That is good to know about the deer netting. Are you just catching big rattlesnakes or will it work on copperheads? Do you find them dead or have to kill them? I am interested in the herbs mentioned. I like rosemary on chicken, herbs in turkey stuffing, and cilantro in salsa, but I am very ignorant of how to use herbs. I would like to know how you all use them. For some reason many people dislike cats. Also there are discussions on the morning show about being a cat person or a dog person. I am an animal person and appreciate both. I don't expect a cat to act like a dog. Both are lots of trouble, I spent most of today fixing the radio fence that shocks my dogs through their collars when they cross it. There is a big hungry German Shepherd that is either lost or dumped. I don't need another dog and don't want it to eat my cats or Honey a small dog. It is probably a good dog but it is trouble for me. I have much more trouble with my dogs every day. The cats are no problem. I have wood rats making nests everywhere when I go without a cat. I know people in town have to put up with other peoples' animals and children. It is easier to take if you love them and they belong to you....See MoreAdvice needed with bad install - what would you do?
Comments (6)If they can't fix it quickly I would explain you're buying a new unit for top dollar and don't expect a long drawn out time to get it right. I then would then ask them nicely to just put in a new condenser (if thats where the board is) cause thats pretty easy to do. They can then take the bad one to the shop and spend their long drawn out time trying to fix it. You paid top dollar, you expect top dollar install. If they give you a hassle, give them a long drawn out time paying. You should be talking to a service mgr at this point....See MoreWhat would you do, if you had to start over?
Comments (32)I am so sorry to hear of your loss. You will be in my thoughts. This just takes my breath away. Two years ago I outfitted the galley of a very small sailboat. After two years at sea the report was that I did a pretty good job of it. I'll try to recall what I purchased or sent from my own kitchen. I made an effort to supply things that had more than one use and/or could nest for storage or were small. Everything had to be nonferrous, nonelectric for the most part, and unbreakable as well. Pressure cooker Stock pot and lid Collapsable silicon steamer/colander that fit neatly inside the stock pot for steaming 2 quart thick bottom stainless pot with lid Enameled fry pan, could also go into the oven and the stock pot lid fit it Nonstick fry pan Large good quality chef's knife and steel Small utility knife Vegetable peeler Flexible cutting boards, set Small teflon cutting board Assorted baking pans, loaf, round, square, 9x13 Broiling pan Mallet meat tenderizer Coffee grinder French press Small mortar and pestle Pepper mill Ladles Silicon spatulas Regular egg-flipper type spatula Bamboo spoons Medium sized whisk Batter/mixing bowl with handle - it also was melamine and had a nonskid bottom Set of measuring cups Set of measuring spoons Wine opener/church key Strainer with handle Several microplane graters Assorted herbs and spices Kitchen timer Oven gauge Meat thermometer Can opener Bread knife Kitchen shears Tongs Camping toaster Potato masher Slotted spoon Small blender Electric water kettle, there were times when they could be docked and plugged in Additional things I would suggest for a regular kitchen: Food processor Cast iron skillet Griddle pan, nonstick Grill pan, cast iron Ceramic pie dish Covered casserole dishes, oval, square, round, whatever pleases Bundt pan, nonstick Large covered saute pan Dutch oven Muffin tin Mixer, hand or stand Toaster Cooling racks for baked goods Pizza stone Springform pan Waffle iron Additional mixing bowls Outdoor grill (the boat had a small grill) Crock pot Odd things I love having: Ice cream maker Fish poacher Popcorn popper Canning equipment Crepe pan Pasta machine, mine is manual I'm sure I forgot a few things that went into the boat galley but that's most of it. I also sent plastic dishes, glasses, and stainless tableware....See Morefleursdecb
