When I make Lasagna, I often have some leftover noodles. I store them in a sealed container in the fridge. When I go to use them again ( usually just to snack on and dip in the left over sauce), I just fill a bowl with water, dunk them in, and they separate, usually with no issue. As long as...

I don't think there has ever been a day that I go into a nursery and don't come out with something else that I stumbled upon. There's a nursery near me that is in a town that is very ethnically diverse. I alsways find new, unique ( to me) things that I can't resist buying.

Yeah, the end of the gardening season, is the beginning of the following gardening season ( at least for me). Figuring out what you did wrong and what you did right. Making notes for the following year, Organizing all your garden stuff so you know where it is the following year when you need...

Finally harvested the last of last years kale and chard , which over wintered to this year.

Im jumping on the Belated Birthday Bandwagon, Happy Birthday Taxy!!!

A take on a Burmese pasta dish a friend showed me years ago. "Chicken" stock + coconut milk as a base, poured over Rice noodles , garnished with garlic, cilantro and a squeeze of lime. His dish had chicken and hard boiled quail eggs in it. To replace chicken, I used seitan, and didn't even...

The only issue I ever had with garlic was over watering/ poor drainage. Took me a 2 years to correct, but the affects didn't really show until a few weeks before normal harvest time. It showed itself by having premature yellowing of the leaves. Other than that, I've never had issues. What's...

Welcome!

I'll keep you posted. All the carrots I grow ( or I should say try to grow) are pip-squeaks. I want something with some mass.

I've always gone with Tropicana. It's my go to orange juice. I haven't tasted many other brands, soIm not sure how it compares. I try to stay away from store brands, as I've had few stinkers over the years, so I stick to what I know I like and is consistently good. I do like some pulp.

Quick question. If you cut off a carrot top, and put it in water, it will develop roots and the greens will grow ( you won't regenerate a new carrot). My questions is, will the greens ultimately flower and produce seeds ? I got this carrot from the Asian market, and it was huge. I'd love to...

Here's another rookie question. Do the jars themselves need to be heated / disinfected prior to canning the sauerkraut? They're brand new jars and lids, can I just load and submerge ?

We still talk about it to this day. I kinda wish we actually saw a tornado, but we basically did everything else to experience it but that.

You mean me and my sauerkraut is less important than your safety ??? Need to check your priorities :) Hope you, your family and everything else is ok. It's rare that I post something hear what I need an immediate answer anyway. Thanks for you reply, I appreciate it. Last time I did it it...

Been awhile since I did this. Got another batch I want to can. Just confirming. Raw pack, 20 minutes from the time it starts boiling ? How much space should I leave at the top of the jar ?
