Lettuce soup, good idea yea or nay?
Comments (28)I did find this recipe in a 1979 Cooking for Two recipe book so there must have been someone out there who made lettuce soup once upon a time. LETTUCE SOUP  Makes 2 or 3 servings 1 small head iceberg lettuce 2 Tbs. butter or margarine 2 Tbs. flour 2 cups chicken broth ¼ cup celery, sliced or diced 1 Tbs. watercress, stemmed and chopped Salt and pepper to taste Strip off any coarse outer leaves of lettuce; wash and save. Core, rinse and thoroughly drain head. Refrigerate wrapped in a kitchen towel. When ready to serve, coarsely chop lettuce, including outer leaves, to equal 1 cup. (The remainder can be used for a salad.) Melt butter; blend in flour and chicken broth. Cook over low heat until thickened. Add lettuce, celery and watercress. May be served as soon as vegetables are crisp-tender. (It does not improve on standing.) Season to taste with salt and pepper....See MoreAnalysis Paralysis has set in
Comments (3)I know the feeling, but it all sounds pretty. Any undercabinet lights? I have a friend who wanted a light kitchen at first. She's had peach with white cabinets. She went through the same thing you are. What she liked was cinnamon cabinets and black galaxy counters. With medium oak floors and a medium mixed stone backsplash in ash tones with some blacks and orange-browns. She put in a lot of overhead light and undercabinet lights and it looks gorgeous and she loves it. Whereas I searched for months for the perfect white reflective floor....See MoreWhite interiors - yea or nay?
Comments (10)Does anyone have dark doors on white melamine? I guess part of my concern is that the white will be too stark a contrast, but it's not like almond is going to be much better. I'm not even sure which color melamine I would pick if I could choose any color i wanted with the dark doors. The cost is high because their wood supplier is making them buy 40 sheets of whatever I decide on, so part of that extra expense is being passed to me. In other words almond is $8 per sheet more than white which should make it only about $160 more for my 20 sheets but they are charging me $375 to recoup the additional $8 per sheet on the other 20 they will be using on someone else's cabinets. And yes, the cabinets are frameless....See MoreRoses in raised bed
Comments (11)Moses, I saw Apricot Drift locally earlier this year. Good to get a specific recommendation from the drift roses. They would look lovely spilling over the edge of the wall. Hmm I might brave those forums, Rifis. Not sure. I recently bought "color in the garden" at a library sale and have been enjoying lots of great garden combo photos. Still feel like my color coordination could use some strengthening tho. Gallica, yea a lot of the super hardy roses seem to be monsters that could swallow the entire garden bed. Hoping some of these newer landscape rose introductions could survive for me here though. Some are quite darling. Cynthia, I appreciate the varied and suggestions. I have a small morden blush planted this spring and I will see how it does. Wow when I look at the Kordes Veranda series, I kind of want one of each. The more calm me thinks I should have a mini hedge of all the same type. Maybe I can alternate between two. That Mango Veranda is a beauty. I am going to mull over this and try to order early spring and get them planted at the ideal time, instead of during the hotter early summertime. Thanks all for your input and suggestions. Much appreciated....See Morefig_insanity Z7b E TN
