Iris don't bloom or bulbs never come up
Comments (8)marcia marcia marcia! first of you must learn that bearded iris are NOT BULBS! call them rhizomes, so you can get the proper help! there are iris bulbs, but they are DUTCH. ok that was your gardening lesson for the day! i will get your a box of RHIZOMES out this week. nothing eats rhizomes above the ground, we are blessed with subterrian monsters instead... you will see earth piles and you will hear them eating your rhizomes like apples and you will see them get yanked under to china during a free for all gopher buffet! they are relentless in early spring and quiet this time of year, i assume hibernating like a bear after eating 100s of my iris......See MoreDon't know where to post
Comments (4)This sounds eerily similar to the saga of my brother and sister-in-law. Their youth, the baby, our dedication to them all (specifically the baby) and yet time and time again she used my nephew as bait to make us jump through hoops. And we jumped - over and over and over again. After about five years of threats on her part, despair and terror on ours, it stopped. I don't know exactly what happened, if perhaps she finally matured or if she finally realized that no matter what horrible thing she did to us we would continue to keep the peace in order to be a part of their and my nephew's life. Back then I would grit my teeth and smile but deep down I truly hated her for what she was doing. Now she is my best friend. It was difficult but well worth the fight....See MoreMarshmallows or Why I Don't Post Pics
Comments (16)Good to know I'm not alone. Annie, the coconut ones are just meant to be eaten like candy, but I've also made plain and chocolate coated plain ones and cut them smaller for cocoa. December's Fine Cooking magazine has a cake on the cover that is topped with homemade marshmallows cut in tiny cubes. On another forum, someone is packaging homemade marshmallows along with a cube of chocolate (molded in an ice cube tray) speared on a candy cane stick. The idea is to heat a cup of milk, then stir with the chocolate cube/peppermint stick to melt the chocolate into the milk and top with the marshmallows - upscale cocoa. I'm going to try to remember that idea for next year. I'll take pictures! LOL Jane...See MoreWhy I don't make fru fru cookies (photos)
Comments (20)I know you didnÂt want tipsÂbut in case someone is tempted to try this kind of cookie (with a different dough) Â Like craftyrn saysÂuse the canned prepared filling for these kinds of cookies. I make kolacki occasionally but I do think rolled cookies are a lot of trouble. I have all the ingredients to make some now but have not decided yet if I want them badly enough. Way back in college my boyfriendÂs mother was an expert at this kind of cookie. I wouldnÂt know how to do it at all if she had not written down everything for me in painful detail. When you read this recipe (itÂs 2 PAGES with all the notes), she must have been OCD. The prepared fillings are engineered to not flow. They are less sweet, though. Different jams vary in their "melt and run" quality. You need a thick one to begin with. I like raspberry jam more than the raspberry filling. So to get around that when using jam: you need to use a lot less filling. Like less than a half teaspoon. I like a cream cheese filling too: so put the cream cheese filling in, then add a dot of raspberry inside the cream cheese, which keeps the jam from running. ThatÂs even MORE trouble. I hate cutout cookies even more. They always get stuck in the cutters and mangled getting them out. And then itÂs like you HAVE to decorate them to make them look good, and I donÂt like that part. And IÂm an artist, for heavenÂs sake. Plus I have never found a cut out recipe that tasted good. Maybe itÂs because I have to add so much extra flour to roll them out that the proportions are ruined....See Morerockwhisperer OK zone 6A
