Pomegranates are tasty fruits, and the edible part is actually the pulp-encompassed seeds. In the United States they are mainly grown in warmer places like California, so they are a treat that I don’t often buy for myself. Luckily though this one was a gift. I love gifts of food!

This is my first year growing seeds indoors. I was tempted to begin this new venture with an elaborate set-up but decided to starts slowly and cheaply. That way, if my plants fail, I won't be quite so upset.
I purchased a shop light and 2 fluorescent light tubes (1 warm and 1 cool). I also bought adjustable shelving, leaving the top of the unit shelf-less so the shop…

I’m not sure how or why she tried making bagels, but last night she did. They turned out pretty good, too. I was not familiar with the bagel making process, so it was a bit odd to observe. To be honest, I had no idea. I guess I just thought of a bagel as a poor quality doughnut. lol

Some of you personally know me to know that I am passionate toward anything my crazy brain decides to embark upon. I have recently sold almost all my drum gear to finance the purchase of camera and video gear. Below is a casting call ad that I have posted around the inter-net and am interested in shooting with some really great folks right here in the Hampton Roads area. If you or anyone you know fits even ten percent of the profiles below please let me know. Please, have a…

I'd never tried a black radish before, in fact, I thought it was a beet upon first glance at the farmers market.…

Since grassroots organization Slow Food was founded 21 years ago, “slow food” has been coined as a term that describes good food that is sourced with consideration and carefully prepared with respect for the ingredients and the final product. As food production has become increasingly industrialized and fast food has become the norm, more and more people are beginning to worry about the effects that may…

We have new bunnies being born and more on the way through Easter. The kits (baby bunnies) that were born last week are show rabbits. Madison is an avid 4-H’er and loves showing the rabbits she has raised. Many of these same rabbits will be sold to other folks, interested in high quality show rabbits. I can say that with confidence, since Madison and Carol have a pretty good track record. Many (if not most) of the rabbits they sell to others for show, end up in the…

I've been making my own kefir since 2003, downing nearly a quart a day. I've also been sharing it on Boston freecycle, since the starter or "grains" grow as I make it. However recently Bfc has discovered that kefir produces alcohol, in minute quantities, but still, measurable. So they won't let me post the offer anymore. Craig'slist won't accept open containers of food. I can of course eat the grains, they're rubbery but full of life. I'd rather share them.
I can give…

I have three amaryllis bulbs that I started in potting soil last October. Two of the bulbs have bloomed beautifully, but the third -- well, I don't know what it's trying to do. I think it's a dud.
But as for the two bulbs that performed as expected, I'm now wondering how I'm supposed to care for…

Sometime ago, in late summer, we brought in a new bull - a proven bull. It seems our little bull (Sampson), was first declared a young bull, by a neighbor... then a dud, by us. Which means we skipped a year of calving... we were calf-less in 2010. Now that we are over half way through Jan., we are starting to count the days before our calving season is slated to begin, this year. We are counting down the 9 months from the day we first exposed our "lady cows" to the rent-a-bull that…
