Cooking spatulas - What's your preference?
Comments (8)I have an assortment of 'rubber scraper' type spatulas. I find the first one I reach for is usually a silicone spoonula, so guess that's my current favorite in that dept. Then, I have several metal spatulas--different sizes, thicknesses, etc. In that case, it really depends upon what I'm doing. I reach for the one that's the right size for the job. I do like the old one--leftover from a wedding gift of those hanging 'tools'--that's very thin and flexible. But then you do have those special surfaces to contend with these days--non-stick skillets that scratch, enamelled cast iron that 'marks' if metal is used in it. My solution? I made a beautiful wooden spatula out of great maple, that is safe for those pots/pans, AND I then curved the edge so it exactly conforms to the angle between the side and bottom of my Le Crueset dutch oven, so that utensil is quite versatile. And pretty, too. I find that making my own wooden utensils is a good solution--I make up my own designs, to customize them to work the best for my own specific needs....See MoreWhat is your water preference?
Comments (26)Good, When I came home from Peru I had Giardia and googling about it I found it is rampant in this country. Doctors usually diagnose it as irritable bowel syndrome. Worm test do not show if you have it or not. The main cause was day care centers, people not washing their hands especially after changing diapers....See MoreWhat are your favorite best tasting PERENNIAL onion varieties?

Comments (27)I'm with Jim and modestgoddess--No. 1 concern is BS resistance! AT least some degree of resistance, though the more, the better! #2: floriferous and good repeat bloom #3: Usually, big, full, round blooms, but sometimes a single or semi-double is a nice change; frilly ruffly ones are attractive alternatives also. #4: Depends on which garden or part of the garden I'm planning on planting the rose. In the big bed, I have a number of reds--but also a yellow Berolina, a white Pope John Paul, a pink Jubilee Celebration and Eden climber--but red (with white perennials--hardy garden geraniums, etc.) is the main color theme. In another small bed, everything is soft romantic pink "lemonade" shades--that's where Easter Basket is, and my new Olivia Rose Austin joined them this year. Along the property line next to my neighbor's ugly garage they must be hot pink Peter Mayle, soft ivory/pale yellow Elina--good contrast there--or med. pink Mrs. John Laing as an inbetween buffer color--that pattern is repeated --no other colors allowed in there. In the other beds, certain colors predominate, but considerable variation is allowed also. #5: I have what I consider an "average" sized back yard--some room to play around with roses and flower beds, but some restraint is needed also since space is not unlimited. As a result, I've divided roses into general categories (hybrid teas/grandifloras; floribundas and modern shrubs; Austins; climbers; old garden roses and other older types like hybrid musks; minis) and I try to have a balanced offering --11 or 12--in each group. That way I get a little taste of all the different types. #6: And then there is the type of rose--a kind of love-at-first-sight rose. No reason except I'm in love and I want the rose and I'm going to have it! Munstead Wood and Love Song both fell in that category. Gotta make room for spontaneous attraction! Note: While fragrance is nice, it is never one of my main considerations, though at one point I made a perfumed path and carefully selected strong smelling roses to plant along it--just to make sure I had some good smellers--but others just accidentally showed up in other places also.
