RoundUp damage! Do I cut it off?
Comments (14)Thanks everyone. Malcolm Manners: I just assumed it was Roundup, but I do NOT know this for certain. My son has seen them spraying all the edges of the park with something, but we do not know what kind of junk they use. They literally spray the stuff against that scalloped brick edge on the park side, about one foot from my roses. This morning ended with nothing but frustration and a laugh. (What else could I do?) It seems that I will have to address my concerns to the HOA itself, instead of the maintanance crew. I raced outside today when I heard the mower behind my backyard. ( The park is adjacent to 2 sides of my property, side and rear, in an L shape.) I approached the smiling man on the mower, and realized we were going to have a problem as soon as I asked him if he would mind me showing him something. Me no Spanish. He no English. With gestures, I was able to get him to come look at my roses, but that's about it. He did know a few English words, but I've got ZERO Spanish. He seemed to see and understand that my roses looked bad but my little game of "charades", including spraying actions from the park side, didn't get my point across. He did manage to say (in broken English), " No, YOU Rosas, No park Rosas." It was rather funny, and we both had a good-natured laugh about it. Nothing was really accomplished today. I already knew they were my roses and not part of the park. For some reason he skipped mowing the whole park entrance today, after our little "talk". I don't know if he thought that's what I wanted or maybe he didn't want to risk playing any more charades with me:) So that's as far as things have gone today. More upsetting is realizing that the 2 full-grown roses that died there last summer, were most likely spray victims as well. I was away for 7 weeks and left my sons in charge of watering. I returned to find 2 of my 4 full-grown roses in that same bed, totally dead. I mean totally. The boys said they watered, but I figured they missed those 2 bushes. I was not there to see them decline so I figured the heat and lack of water did it. Now I wonder if the park spraying did it, or at least contributed to their sudden demise. Thanks all, I will keep at it! Lisa...See MoreCan u use the zip-slicer to make 1 carrot into 2 half carrots?
Comments (25)Wow, the number of responses are mind-boggling! Never mind, i wound up buying the Progressive carrot cutter. Once i give it an initial "push" manually with my hand, then it's not so hard to use the presser though it's a nuisance to wash. i don't own a dishwasher. It's still easier on my arthritic fingers than quartering manually. I need to develop the knack, though, since they come out uneven. Thus i'm not so im-pressed (forgive the pun). The only reason i splurged, is for someone in a local nursing-home who most prefers salads, especially "crunchy" carrots. She doesn't like vine-tomatoes (says they're too "soft"). Actually, i'm not even sure if there's "crunchy" tomatoes? Pillog mentioned a paper cutter. That got me thinking about a parchment paper cutter that i love, which the zip-slicer somewhat reminds me of. https://www.amazon.com/ChicWrap-Bakers-Parchment-Dispenser-Culinary/dp/B00844G2MY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1544471769&sr=8-3&keywords=parchment+paper+cutter So it would be great if they could invent a zip-slicer strong enough to cut through everything, even carrots. And which could allow carrots to then be rotated in order to quarter them.. Basically, an all-in-one gadget. I'm also picturing a carpentry-desk my dad had set up in the basement, complete with a clamp. You turn the clamp's lever, to keep wood (or shoes or whatever) fixed in one place for purpose of sawing (or gluing shoe-soles or whatever). Likewise, a gadget with some clamp to keep carrots, cukes, tomatoes, etc. fixed in one position, so people can cut peacefully, could come in handy. So yes, a clamp with a paper-cutter-guillotine sorta gadget sounds good. Re: YT video's - due to my electrosensitivity & eye-sensitivity, I still use Win-XP (on a thinkpad) which disallows clicking direct on vid's, rather i need to search for them via YouTube to get them to function. Also i favor quick vid's since i'm often pressed for time....See MoreParis Market round carrots
Comments (4)I've always been a little put off by round carrots for the reasons you two have mentioned. I would much rather dedicate the same time and effort to a bigger, more productive carrot. I haven't grown the round carrots but I have tried them and they just taste like a carrot. Not one of my favorites, nor is it anything particularly bad; just another carrot that happens to be smaller than most....See MoreIs a Top Round Roast the same as a Rump Roast cut?
Comments (10)Thanks so much, everyone. ”Top Round” was in the groc store flyer. I have cooked it a few times but don’t cook it often enough to know exactly what to do. I don’t eat too much red meat is in beef. Of course, if I didn’t have health or budget concerns in mind, I would love to eat a medium rare ribeye or I forgot the other name for it Delmonico steak. That would be wonderful as with the lobster. But I sort of have to rein myself a little bit. I have seen Brian on America’s test kitchen or cooks country I can’t tell those programs of pot cook a round roast in some kind of zip sauce and it looked good. And I forgot that we did it it’s probably somewhere somewhere somewhere. And last night as I’m cleaning up my office and bookcase I I came across this book I picked up for a buck someplace and it’s one of those books that actually isn’t that bad if you’re mindful of how to readjust some of the recipes it’s a book of popular second-tier fast-ish food Restaurant such as the Olive Garden and someone and it gets recipes for those popular dishes. Of course I came across some thing and this is probably at 1 AM of a recipe for some kind of rump roast it looked pretty good and I thought what the heck is a rump roast and it looks like it’s close to a round roast but not quite and I found a link that finally after looking around and asking you guys had before getting back to you a link that explains some of it. I may go for a better cut of meat even though I know that that particular bottom round top round whatever can be OK, for all the stuff when I have to consume with red meat I figure I might as well get a little bit better quality and try to limit the serving so that I don’t eat too much fat. Although I don’t know some of those recipes look good like the Martha Stewart one looks decent. And Carol thank you so much for posting the whole recipe because the link was a dead end it didn’t work so I’m thankful that you put the recipe down and I’ve saved it. Plllog, thanks too for your good suggestions in contributions. Elmer, No, for this particular inexpensive cut, it will cut quite thinly into a slice. I could perhaps use it for siding or roofing. However, my mother used to maker an inexpensive pit roast from which we would make sandwiches from the leftovers. As a child, I had no idea what it was called but I dubbed it (in my mind) “string beef.” It turned out to be chuck roast. It was flavorful (remove the fat) and we could pull the chunks and strands away to get enough for a sandwich. Add some ballpark mustard and you’re good to go! I think that I might wait on the round roast. Right now, I am cooking my FAST and Good spareribs. Ok, I am a novice. But I i liked how they were the last time I made them. I do not like the recipes that indicate that it will “fall off the bone.” I want a little bit of chew otherwise I would get baby food....See Morechloebud
