What have you passed up recently?
Comments (39)Greenhaven--seems fitting that Mr. Lincolns should be $5, but it's too bad they don't show him the respect of proper care. ;-) I avoid the whole garden section of walmart in the summer because it either makes me depressed or mad. Angelcub, my Pat Austin is tall and bushy enough that the bunches of blossoms look like small bouquets, and don't really droop. I will try to get some pics on photobucket and post a link later. Yesterday I went to buy a Peter Mayle and and SKy's the Limit, but came home with Elizabeth Taylor and Polka instead. Also a Centennial Star jumped on the wagon with no advance warning! I passed on 3 I've really wanted--the Peter Mayle, Shocking Blue, Sweet Promise. They were 9.95 in 3 gallon pots but they really had not grown much beyond the 15 inch canes they started with in the spring. Look like they had lost their leaves and were starting over, also. We have a long warm fall here, but then a sudden freeze usually, so anything I plant now has to be pretty healthy, I think. Should I go back for those? Is that a good price for the chance I'm taking? They have been sprayed and fed and watered. Also saw a Lasting Love with a beautiful bloom. Full price here in great shape early in the season is between $17 and $21. To me a good buy is $5 or less, on a healthy plant. Oh i also walked by some vigorous Topsy Turvy bushes because they looked awful after rain. They hold on to petals and they just don't weather well. On a nice day, I might have bought one. cindi...See MoreWhat baking have you done so far for xmas?
Comments (19)So far I haven't baked any thing. I will for sure make Wedding Cakes and Spritz. A couple more after I look through my recipes and decide which ones to make. Susan, if you check back in here, I have a question about freezing your pecan pies. I'm thinking you pour the filling into the crust and freeze it; not freeze just the filling, right? Sounds like a great idea. Think I will try that. Thanks for the idea. Sue...See MoreHave you bought a toaster you like, recently?
Comments (16)Funny, we dont use a toaster much but ours died a few weeks ago after about 10 years of service. I went with this one from Target ( I think we got a promo to use so it was about $20).... editing to say we got it in metallic although the colors are quite nice - Oster, and so far so good. I too did not want to spend $$$ on it, and we don't need the 4 slices. I did like the wider slats which I guess most have now.http://www.target.com/p/oster-2-slice-toaster-metallic-assorted-colors-tssttrjb/-/A-16637484#prodSlot=medium_1_11&term=toaster...See MoreDo you have a hidden bake element in your oven
Comments (30)I've had electric stoves for well over 50 years. Sixteen years ago I remodeled the kitchen with double built-in ovens and covered elements. I never had one problem with the exposed elements of the past. Never had to replace an element. Any food dripping would just burn off. It was easy to lift the element to clean under and it was also possible to place aluminum foil flat under the element to catch any spills. Never had to clean the oven bottom! Unfortunately, covered elements eliminated that option as the under mounted coils are extremely close to the porcelain bottom, heating that surface to much higher temperatures than with the exposed elements. Foil on covered element bottoms fuse/melt to the floor with normal baking temperatures. I only used the self-cleaning cycle once on the ovens. Worked ok with no blue porcelain chipping but decided possibly frying the electronics wasn't worth it especially since I have to remove and manually clean all the rolling racks anyway. Final negative - longer preheat times, almost double unless I preheat with convection. To sum up my opinion on this matter, the only advantage to the covered elements is that it's a bit of a simpler oven bottom look....See More- 6 years ago
