Does anything look more disgusting than...
Comments (3)Interesting. just this morning I was weeding (they've taken over) and my rose campion was all floppy/ brownish. When pulling off the leaves the whole thing came out- I trimmed the leaves off while holding on to roots, and lo and behold there was still some green at the base so back in the ground it went....See MoreLOOKING for: Does anyone know anything about this cookbook?
Comments (11)I think they also have a forum for discussion of the rules, Teresa. ;~) Not trying to be rude, just making a point. That said, I do agree that the OP probably is connected somehow to the link she provided, all the clues point to that. But maybe not. Someone who just joined has probably been lurking for awhile and while some people do introduce themselves, a lot of people don't. I followed the link, though, and found the site particularly annoying in that it tries to make it hard to exit from the site. And I also agree that Cooks.com and many other cooking sites offer copycat recipes just for the price of a little time to search. Liza, if your request is legitimate, and if the book is legitimate, it would probably be for sale on book-selling sites such as Amazon.com. And no, I don't have any connections to them, and I've been a GardenWeb member a long time. I don't post here very often, but I do come to read from time to time, both here and on the Cooking forum. And Ginger you are right that they do post recipes and ask for recipes over there too. Often. Attached is a link to a search I made. I like that people who have purchased the books provide their opinions of them. They offer new AND used books of all kinds, and I've gotten some really nice used books quite reasonably priced from this site. Often I have been all enthusiastic about a book I've heard about only to find out that people who bought the book thought it was a waste of money. Here is a link that might be useful: Amazon...See MoreLayout Critique - would you have done anything differently so far
Comments (12)I love GW. I agree 100% with GreenDesigns and all of you who suggested that the range should go on the one wall without any openings and the refrigerator should go back on the wall where it was. In fact, the mental picture I had of the kitchen that way was so beautiful that I completely forgot how we ended up with the fridge in the middle of the other wall. So we tested it out and rolled the refrigerator around the room (it's nice to be able to do that since it's the only thing in there) and tried it out everywhere. And then I remembered how we ended up with it in the kitchen design no-no spot. It's a monster. It's a 31 cu. ft french door model that is basically 36"x36". On an unrelated note - it rolls around like a Cadillac - so easy to move! Here it is in it's proposed spot: Anyhow.... the little walls opposite from each other next to the doors to the living room and laundry room stick out not quite 35". The little wall on the other side by the dining room sticks out not quite 31". The doorways are tiny - the one on the south wall is only 30" wide. Putting the refrigerator on either end of the run that you all so wisely suggested just feels cramped both ways. On the dining room side the refrigerator door opens into the dining room opening which is where people always seem to congregate when we entertain. I was constantly having to open the refrigerator door in their face and say "Excuse me". On the other end of that run it makes the entry into the kitchen from the living room seem very cramped and makes for an odd view from the hall/living room. And we'd have the same problem of the refrigerator door swinging into the opening. I guess since that rubbed us the wrong way with the old layout we gravitated towards the polar opposite. I so badly wanted it to work that way you suggested, especially picturing the backsplash I want for the range, but the structure of this house (a very tiny 1950 tract home) is not cooperating. So I think we will have to break with design guidelines and stick that monster frig in the middle of the wall. Hopefully with the wall cabinets it won't look too strange in the middle of the counter run. I haven't given up on your suggestions completely. This is not our forever kitchen but it is our right-now kitchen so we have to go with what feels most comfortable even if it looks a little odd. If we ever have the opportunity to build a larger kitchen I am keeping GreenDesigns suggestion in my notes because I LOVE the idea of a range in the middle of a larger counter run and the refrigerator wall as more of a snack center with a smaller counter run to one side and the toaster oven right there. And I haven't abandoned the idea for this kitchen entirely yet either... Thank you so much! I have learned so much from this discussion. I'll definitely post pictures of whatever we decide to do and I'm sure this won't be my last question. Back I go to rolling the refrigerator around......See MoreDo you Notice Anything Different?
Comments (1)Hostas do that from time to time. They are inherently unstable. That is why we get so many sports. When you get a whole eye (shoot) with a different pattern from mama then you have a sport. But they don't always come back next year. Looking for weird leaves is part of the fun of growing them. -Babka...See Morecarolb_w_fl_coastal_9b
