Container soils and water in containers (long post)
Comments (158)Al and Nathan, I hope that you don't mind my sharing a humorous story about Turface, that really highlights your points and underscores how respected a product Turface is in the industry. My son is a Turf Grass Agronomy major at a large Southern university, and did an internship last spring/summer at one of the major league baseball spring training facilities in Florida. Turface is used for excess water on the fields that occurs during rainstorms, especially those "popcorn" showers (downpours) that occur frequently in Florida. It has helped prevent many a game "rainout" due to its effectiveness. It takes many bags of Turface to do this (for one game), which can become a bit pricey---so it's a protected commodity in the baseball industry. During one sudden torrential downpour, the Grounds Crew quickly pulled the tarp over the infield, and then took cover in the visiting team's dugout to wait out the storm. The Turface bags were kept to the side in the visiting dugout, near where the Grounds workers were standing. The visiting team's pitcher had a bad inning just prior to the rainstorm, and came into the dugout kicking and throwing things, as they sometimes do. As he looked for things to use to vent his frustration, he eyed the bags of Turface to the side, and the Grounds workers caught his glance, and could tell that he was tempted to kick them, also. They immediately, in *unison*, said "don't even think about it!". Throw your glove, knock over some bats, kick the bubblegum containers over, but don't mess with the Turface...unless you want to take on the Grounds Crew... :)...See MorePost your Can O' Soup Recipes here
Comments (42)Okay - you asked for it! Here are my "dirty little secrets" LOLOLOL! Easy Creamy Peppercorn Chicken Rated: 4 out of 5 by 22 members Yields: 6 servings "A quick mushroom gravy, courtesy of soup and a packet of peppercorn gravy mix, smothers chicken and onions.

Remove the chicken to cool. 3 Mix the soup into the broth in the pan, then add the potatoes and the curry. Simmer until tender. As soon as the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the skin and bones and, if necessary, cut into bite size pieces. When the potatoes are done, add the meat to the potato mixture and heat through. You may add golden raisins at this point if desired, adjust seasonings and serve!...See MorePosting recipe etiquette
Comments (108)Although it's been posted a number of times before I see there's still the contention about the extraneous characters when copying and pasting. Screaming at someone to preview it may not do any good if the problem is on YOUR end! If you want to solve 90% of the issue, go into your browser and set the encoding to UTF-8. I'll bet that solves it most of the time. Each browser is slightly different but to do this in Opera (still the best browser out there) go to View, then click Encoding, then click Unicode, then click UTF-8. Normally it'll change it immediately. Occasionally it can get changed so if you see the characters, check the encoding. To avoid the problem in the first place, when you copy it from a formatted item, like a Word doc or an HTML file, drop it into a plain text file, then recopy it and it'll remove all formatting and what you see is what you're gonna get. Perhaps it could save some raised blood pressures and extra blame and accusations against iVillage. Now back to the OT. Seems some just want to complain no matter what is said. It happens. My skin is thick! Some like to take things as insults, even when someone expresses concern about another person. I remember when, in another forum someone posted a picture of themself and they were swollen up to a serious size. A couple people expressed concern and asked if she was OK but the hyperactive complainers came flying out of the woodwork screaming that it was an insult. Geez, when you can't even ask if someone's health is OK without being accused of attacking, there's really some problems! When I post a recipe that I haven't substantially created myself, I try to give credit to the person even to say something like "based on This Person's _____ recipe" whenever possible. Sometimes I got the recipe from someone who got it from someone else who got it from someone else who got it off the back of a flour bag. I get a kick out of one person who keeps posting a particular recipe (well, one of *many*! LOL), claiming it as "hers", demanding credit for it and how "her family" loves "her recipe" and when you go to Paula Deen's site (which coincidently she acknowledges she frequents!) there is the exact recipe, credited to the originator (even by P.D.) and when this person posts this obviously pilfered recipe it has the same exact punctuation errors along with the exact wording and other marks of copy & paste. Coincidence? I don't think so! LOL But however she gets her thrills! LOL Also folks, chill a bit. There's a couple people here that seem to get others' goats for some reason, so much so that when they ask genuinely about another's well-being, or crack a joke it's back to the "YOU"RE ATTACKING!!!!" stuff. Really no need to be so sensitive. Nor do you always need to read into what's being said with the often-silly accusations of thinly veiled insults comments. Try decaf. Some taste as good as the regular. I do have a request but know it will go ignored. When you *do* post pictures, how about sizing them down a bit so it doesn't throw off some of our browsers? I really would rather look at a small(er?) picture, preferably left aligned so the comments can wrap around it. Sizing it is simply adding "height=" and "width=" tags as you post it. That Jimmy Crack Corn sounds good. Did a quick search and found the procedure though. Here's what I found if anyone is interested: In a pan combine butter, corn syrup, and brown sugar, stirring as it melts together. Bring to a boil while continuing to stir and boil for one (1) minute. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour sugar mixture over popped corn mixture and stir to coat. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and spread over wax paper to cool. Store in an air-tight container. Joyous Kwanzaa all!...See MoreDon't post pics? Why or Why not? (Long, rambling, sorry!)
Comments (66)I am probably not going to be posting many pics when asking questions any more because I find that too many people are only looking at the pictures, NOT reading the text, and thus their responses are either directly contrary to something I've said in the text (for instance "get rid of XYZ" or "the color of ABC is wrong" when I've already said in the accompanying that I love XYZ so it's not going anywhere or that the color of ABC is really more toward mauve when it shows up as puce in the picture) or have nothing at all to do with what I'm asking. I find that intensely frustrating. I have almost no pictures of my current house because it's still in "whatta dump" stage. No paint (walls need a TON of work), short on furniture, dreadfully designed kitchen that's a perpetual mess because there's nowhere to put things... and forget outside pictures, a few weeks ago we ripped out almost every trace of vegetation outside (and will not be replacing it until next year, probably fall '09 to get the end-of-season sales) due to a honeysuckle invasion that I swear was growing by feet per day and was starting to attack the porch. I'll happily post pictures of my previous house because I think I did a pretty decent job with it. We're not on Google Maps but we're kinda-sorta on Google Earth - but the best you can get is a fuzzy whitish blob in the midst of a bunch of other fuzzy whitish blobs on a fuzzy grayish stripe. No closeups. Our town is clearly not a high priority as far as Google is concerned! WRT security - we live in a somewhat iffy neighborhood so I am one HECK of a lot more worried about the people a dozen houses down the street breaking in looking for meth money than I am about someone trying to track me down via the Internet (I Googlebate every so often just to see what's out there re: me) from half a dozen states away. I've been email-stalked and -harassed a bunch of times in my 18 years online because of my outspoken ;-) opinions and my ISPs have always been helpful in dealing with it. However, I've had meet-ups with a whole slew of people I've met online over the years, twice flying nearly cross-country to do so, and it's been grand fun....See More

4 years agoNot necessarily a problem 99% of the time if a link or mention is provided. It is the use a photo or recipe that is not credited to the original creator that is frowned upon. On-line magazines and food bloggers welcome a provided link as that is how they create income by traffic hits.
What I like to do and see from others is to post your own pic of the recipe, then post the recipe link. I rarely use recipes but am often inspired by searches. So I'll link a similar recipe.
I made a slaw last night to go with TacoNight as well as some sauerkraut fermenting for next weekend. No recipe for the slaw as I make it so often and use what veg I have on hand.
If I posted about fermenting kraut I would share this link, HERE
If my pup did not counter surf with my back turned, (jerky), and take the second half of my Napa Cabbage to our bed for a snack, (grrr), I would have made Emergency Kimchi from Maangchi, HERE
Google explains copyright HERE
If I was posting about fermentation I might provide a link to my new air-locks but I like to use a product a while before recommending.
