Friend makes the bestest chicken and sausage gumbo. He's from Louisiana, of course, it is good. He knows I don't have rice in mine. Stay at home, cold day, and this was my lunch.

Anyone eating cold weather food today?

Chicken and dumplings. I like my gumbo served over rice. I am going to make crawfish etouffe tomorrow....serve that over rice too.

Been eating soups. Last night was beef barley. There's just a tad left over which I might have after I finish making Spanakopita triangles. I just made the filling, but my knee was bothering me so am taking a little break before finishing up.

Yes Val, Lloyd does have a big one... um, compost that is. Got to keep on topic here, so yes, moderators, we are talking about compost and women do like them too. :O) I knew that response to a previous post would come back to haunt me one day Lloyd. Taking photos of the evidence was an OOPS moment. Me bad! As I said, I'll return the milk pail full of compost they produce to you in a couple of years. :O) Thanks Terrene, and for Karen, here's a couple of encore pics and one of 39 Monarchs which they helped raise this past year. This was my last 'baby', a male, released on October 8th. Paul, Nothing like a Cape Bretonner (I think you are...) lashing out at a mainlander!! LOL! Yep, I show them on my garden tours. They are part of what I do and actually the interest is quite amazing. Especially when you tell them they can do it for free. It's funny because I actually migrate towards compost piles when I visit other gardens... Folks sometimes think I'm up to no good. They probably fear me taking their compost away, and rightfully so. So you'd better keep that watch dog out when I visit, eh? :O) Idaho, My husband and I get along quite well when it comes to the compost. We have an agreement. He doesn't touch my compost and I don't touch his books - he's a worm of another kind. As long as my compost results in an increase in property value, which it has, and his books stay organized, then we are all good.

Yeah, remember '94 or whenever it was.....there was actually a day here in Appleton that the high temp was something like 20 below zero! That's Farenheit for you limeys and Europeans. Was talking to a nice young couple from Germany a couple weeks ago when I was down in SW Florida. When asked if we here in WI get "below zero", I knew he meant below the freezing point of water, lol! Straightened out that point of understanding. This indeed could be the year of weeding out some questionable plants, my present observations of these C. lawsoniana not withstanding. Up in that same location I have a few Green Giants which, to date, have been utterly fit for life there. Also, a couple dawn redwoods. I'd not be surprised to see any of these plants succumb. Oh well, was never a high-percentage gamble. Then again, who knows? +oM

very interesting points brought up again :) There are various forms of Feng Shui. Some that are more literal then others. Kate, I agree with you, coming in and knocking down homes as they have...I personally do not agree with that. Feng Shui is about respecting the land, not disturbing it, as it seems they have. Many of the changes that would be suggested to those who hire a "expert Feng Shui consultant" will come from that consultants perspective. So, if they see extreme changes need to happen, that is what they will suggest. If your consultant says we can work around this situation...then that is how they will approach the issue. The red envelope, that has a lot to do with your intention of why your addressing it. Traditionally it is to increase wealth. To help increase your finances means you have to act on your intention as well. Many times people think I just have to place this object over here and that will solve everything :) Remember, Feng Shui is 80% intention, why you are making changes and what it is your looking to achieve from those changes. 20% is taking action to make those changes happen. The red envelope cure says to place 3 like coins inside and put the envelope in your "wealth" section according to the Bagua Theory of Feng Shui. The location will be in the furthest back left hand corner of your entire home from your front entrance, looking inward into your home. As you place it there, think to yourself, why do I want to increase my wealth, is it to simply have enough money to pay my bills, maybe go on a trip...it can be anything. xc60, I like the way you think :) yes having a four is not recommended by the Chinese culture, but utilizing your numerology skills and seeing that everything adds up to 8, very lucky, as well as 9 :) Feng Shui is based on your own personal belief, if you feel it does not work for you, that is fine :) If it is not Feng Shui, perhaps you have another cultural belief system you choose to follow. It is recommended to find something that you belief in and that helps keep you grounded and happy :) Here is a link that might be useful: Feng Shui Manhattan New York

Glenda, why no rice? I don't use much in mine, but like a little.

Marilyn, I haven't made étouffée in a long time. Tails are a little too pricey right now. Maybe later in the spring.

Kathy -- chicken and dumplings here too! With turnip greens, cornbread and apple crisp! Joint effort with DD next door -- she did the grocery shopping, greens and cornbread and i gave the c&d and crisp in the oven now.

They were frozen and on sale at HEB....and from Louisiana, not China. I wouldn't buy any for a long time because all I found were from China. Even when I went to Lafayette, Louisiana, I couldn't find any in the supermarkets that weren't from China.

Not nearly as good as from fresh crawfish. I used to raise waterlilies in mud bottomed ponds and before planting the lilies, would drain the pond and pick out all the crawfish, and made etouffe.

Had some spaghetti a little bit ago. It's 4 degrees outside right now with the wind chill. Getting ready to drive home in the ice and slush. ) :

It's 10° and windchill is -9°. I had left over roast beef so turned that into beef veggie with barley soup. I popped a can of crescent rolls in the oven to go with it.

Glenda, I love, love, love steamed white rice with salt and butter, but I rarely eat it because it's not very good for my figure. But, I don't like rice in soup or with gravy. It's some kind of weird texture thing with me.

I made two pots of chicken-vegetable soup this evening--one for us, and a smaller pot for my diabetic father who is on a low salt diet. It was so good on this cold night (waving at tami_ohio). The air is so cold, I wouldn't stay outside to watch the eclipse--I set my alarm and ran out every half-hour to check the progress. The night is gorgeous, but cold!

Today, I'm going out for lunch. Been in for two days, haven't even opened the front door. Think I'll go to Jack's for fried chicken and a biscuit.

So not good :o)
