Depends on the insects. Many can be deterred by a spray bottle of water mixed with dish soap. You can also look for insecticidal soap at garden stores. It's worked great on the aphids on my tomatoes.
This is great! I stick to fruit breads and stuff that doesn't have yeast in it because I made a whole variety of breads that ended up resembling bricks. I will have to test some of these out, I am ...
Yeah bathrooms are not a good place for textured wallpaper. I had charmingly retro wallpaper in my bathroom. It was textured shiny white vinyl. Texture holds dirt and dust really well somewhere tha...
It depends where the carrots are destined to go. If they are getting sliced for crudites they usually don't get peeled as there will only be skin on 1/4 and people can suck it up. Likewise if they ...
We have horrible cream-colored vinyl with a sort of light brown pattern on it. I try and sweep regularly and mop with a sponge mop and Pine-Sol when it gets funky. I'd get something nice and organi...
searchgirl, right on! I am saving up to attack my kitchen... guests say "it's so cute and retro" and then I ask them if they cook and they ALL say no. It's a ridiculous layout and the storage is st...
Sigh. I rarely say this, but right now I wish I lived in NY so I could snag that awesome credenza thing. The Reno Craigslist would explode if something this rad ever made it on there. Double sigh.

I agonized over our registry, my husband had only ever had guys living in his spare room so the house was a disaster area and there were about five mismatched plates and two mugs (oddly enough, a l...
I've seen them growing wild in Oregon as well as some parts of the Sierras. My brother-in-law has them in his garden in Reno, but I don't know if he harvests them yet. Beautiful plants, too.

Cool, I might have to try these this weekend!
It does look like something is missing, are these just very dense? I can see the apples and apple juice adding some sweetness, but how do they rise?

I live on Sleepytime and Peppermint from these guys. My husband loves the Bengal Spice. I keep trying fancier teas and I always go back to these guys.

Aww, I wish I could do this in my home! This looks great, I love the great color combinations.

How funny I was just inviting people over so I could make crepes this weekend and this popped up! We must be on the same wavelength...
