Comments (141)Hello and thanks so much for this fun swap!!!!!!!!! Shirley & Craftie2 & Corrine & Vina thanks for the congrats. It felt so good to win that I actually jumped up and did a dance. My significant other, Noel, went running for his camera so I calmed right down lol. No need for documentation... but I am so in love with all things garden and gardening that the idea of a "supa prize" got me up into the air. Corrine, thank you for your thoughts on attitude -- I think you've got that absolutely right and I'll be filing your examples in the back of my mind and pulling them out when necessary and applicable....probably tomorrow lol!!!! Have had a lot of fun and enjoyed meeting you all -- looking forward to sharing and hearing about everyone's gardening exploits and experiences in the coming season. Thank you so much Vina for brightening each day with your stories and wonderful pictures, games, etc. and for all your organizational effort!!! Best wishes, Barbara rhodes145...See MoreUPDATE: Petal Pushers July White Elephant Swap
Comments (150)That's so funny! That time I thought you were just being silly! Good news at the dentist always makes for a better day! Yay! Lisa - I'm so sorry that I've been remiss in taking time to post on the board that I received my prize package from you. I sent you an e-mail when it arrived on Monday. I hope you received it. To everyone else - Lisa sent me the nicest box of prizes from last month's games. For some game when I was the next person to post (it seems like we were waiting for Tracy to materialize but I don't remember why) she sent me some nice gloves and plant markers. For finding that tiny Christmas tree, thereby putting an end to her 'I Spy' game, she sent me a plant off of my want list. She chose to give me Phlox 'Orange Perfection'. I was very excited to get this, as I've never seen it in my area. And, just because she's so sweet, Lisa sent me another start from Larry's iris collection! I'm a lucky girl!...See MoreFOTESS July Swap: Bon Appetit
Comments (170)Breanne, congratulations! You got it! Nashville Hot Chicken is correct. You probably knew that too. The Music City Hot Chicken Festival started in 2007 and is held on July 4 each year. The princely origins refers to the fact that the dish is reportedly created when Thorton Prince's significant other was miffed that he stayed out late and the next day, she made fried chicken with a significant amount of hot spices to punish him but he instead loved it. He later opened up Prince's Hot Chicken Shack, the original Nashville Hot Chicken. The hottest version sold there is reportedly painfully hot, but that is why people go for it. In the PBS show Mind of a Chef, Sean Brock (Chef of Husk restaurants) went to Prince's to eat and was literally sweating from it. I personally love Hattie B's version of the dish with medium heat. I have never gotten the hottest version and have no wish to try. KFC made their own version of dish and put it on their menus in 2016. Banquet foods has a frozen Nashville hot chicken with macaroni and cheese. I have never seen it in the stores but I generally don't look at the frozen dinner section of the supermarket. Ruth, I would have accepted your answer since it is the same thing but Breanne was first. Great job on this swap, everyone. We are officially done with this month....See MoreFOTESS February 2019- Simple and Sweet Swap
