Sjoerd, after I saw that photo I knew the rest of us didn't have a chance of winning. That is so absolutely adorably cute! Thanks for posting it!
The hoe is heated red-hot over the fire, a thin layer of the batter is placed on the hot hoe which bakes the batter, and there you have it--a hoe...
I NEED a hand plough! I've been using the edge of my hoe, but that plough looks much more efficient. Your soil is beautiful--no wonder everyone is...
Good morning! I spent the morning planting 28 tomato plants and prepping the area for the bell peppers to go in. I still have seven cherry...
Ronni, hoecake, corn pone, all the same! It is a quick bread for eating in the field (baked on a hoe, therefore the hoe cake) or made up quick for...
OH, so funny! I also found it amusing that the two sons were taking instructions from a man stuck in a compost bin! When the one son started to...
Ronni, my cornbread has unbleached flour as well as cornmeal, too. It does make it lighter in weight. My recipe calls for two eggs (I hunt for...
Dooley, we have leftover ham from Easter, and I made a pot of ham and bean soup. Some of the cornbread will go with that, and some will go into...
Mart, I said it before and I"ll say it again--you are brilliant! I'm printing off your post and taking it into the nursing home. There is a...
I was baking a batch of cornbread the other day, and a friend stopped by. The cornbread had just come out of the oven, so I cut a piece, slathered...
Husband mowed the paths to the pond, and then weed-whacked the front yard edges. This afternoon we mowed the back yard (joint effort) and hauled...
Well, in town we found the shoes of a five-legged horse (we did find five shoes, and the natural assumption is . . . .). Here we've found bits of...
Mandevilla is a bit tropical for your area--it's even iffy here in central Texas. It is lovely, but one good cold snap and it could be gone for...
Well, this is the day that is named after me--April Fool's Day! I'm enjoying it by cleaning house. I had hoped to get the second planting of...
Purple, as usual, gave good advice. Honeysuckle, especially since Ed likes it so much, is a good choice. Jung's (www.jungseed.com) has two...
Happy Birthday! What a great time of year to have a birthday--everything is springing up and growing, and I hope you are, too!
Ronni, I think you are right. Boxwoods don't respond well to severe pruning. If perhaps a foot was removed from their height this spring, and then...
Netty, I read your post about today's plans, and immediately went back to bed! Girl, you have plenty of energy already--you are putting the rest...
Good heavens, I had no idea potatoes were so musical! Josh Selig has a very inventive mind. Thank you for the concert--I may play a couple of...
Mercy, there are more things in heaven and earth than I dreamt of! Thank you for explanation. Otherwise, I'd be awake at 2 a.m. wondering what a...
