Thoughts on Baking and Dirty Spoons
Posted on March 29, 2010 by Myrnie
Hello my lovelies, this is a check-in. Yes, yes I posted about Easter baskets. But you know, that doesn’t really feel like it COUNTS. Spring is a lovely season, and a favorite for so many people, but there are a handful out there that thinks it just STINKS. It’s raining! It’s snowing! It’s 70 degrees! [...]

What to do about Easter?
Posted on March 27, 2010 by Myrnie
My family loves celebrating Easter- we love the religious aspects, the easter egg scrambles/hunts at the park, kids learning songs to sing in church, pretty new dresses in spring colors (a welcome addition after the long winter).

I’d been planning a post on locating the source of your milk, as soon as I could *find* more information! Behold the power of the internet/blogosphere/subscribing to over 300 blogs. HT to Adam Kuban over at Serious Eats (and via The PreSurfer), here’s a link for Where is my milk from? http://whereismymilkfrom.com/ Plug in the warehouse/dairy [...]

2010 Companion Planting in the Garden
Posted on March 5, 2010 by Myrnie
Planning a large garden is one of the more intellectually challenging things I’ve done recently- how many beds? What goes in each bed? Which plants are “companions” and which are “adversaries”? What about successive plantings- how long will each plant stay in the ground? And why does this matter so much to me? And why [...]
