Gardening by Moon Phase or just using Garden Common Sense… If you make a light weight cold frame, be prepared to search for it when it blows away. April showers bring May flowers and Mayflowers bring Pilgrims.

My V-Day Gift: Ad Hoc At Home by Thomas Keller

My V-Day Gift: Ad Hoc At Home by Thomas Keller

I don’t own a lot of cookbooks. I don’t think a lot of them have a voice. This one does. Often very good chefs don’t publish very good cookbooks. Thomas Keller does. Part giant food picture book, Part you-can-cook-this, All comfort food is how I would describe it in one sentence.

I like the smell of compost.

It’s dark, stinky, and I just find it beautiful. Compost! There. I said it. I enjoy it. There’s compost buried in the veg garden. Compost in the rotating container. Compost “aging” over the winter in planter boxes. There’s a lot of compost. I like the musty, sour, earth smell of it.

This doesn’t include the bees, medicine, sugar feeders, [...]

No Cable Tv

No Cable Tv

I love tv and hate commercials. Two years ago we got Apple Tv so I could connect to Boxee and watch Internet Tv. Jim and I brought home our first tv and canceled Comcast(1) Cable. For about six months, we were able to watch almost all programs, online with limited or no commercials. All we had to do was down load Boxee and install it in the Apple Tv and have the patience to watch our program after they aired. It was good, but Apple didn’t like it, and configured software download thingy to block Boxee.
