Rye! Onion, garlic, dill rye. Sadly I moved so I no longer have access to this exact bread. But I will find something suitable!

What about wineries? I'm planning a small wedding but wanted a garden setting. I'm not in CA, but in PA, and I found that many wineries not only have lovely estates with gardens, historic homes for an indoor setting if need be, and local wine and food. Not to mention it's quite the money saver as they tend to be less expensive than many other wedding specific venues. I'm sure you could find a lovely historic estate to do a sit-down dinner in an estate home, plus a lovely garden on the vicinity.

I realize this is an old post, but I had to type here because it very much applies to my lifestyle. I have a rabbit who is both wonderful and an absolute terror. Yes, rabbits can be litter trained. Don' let anyone tell you different. Rabbits are much more easily litter trained when they are neutered/spayed/fixed. Many people skip this important step. Males tend to behave better and be less aggressive. Females have an extremely reduced rate of uterine cancer. Rabbits are creatures of habit and tend to poo and urinate in the same areas. Find out where they like to go and stick their box and hay there. They like to munch while they poo so making an ideal pooping location for them that is inviting goes a long way. You could surround the litter box with rabbit safe potted plants that they can munch on while they do their business. It makes the area look nicer as well as makes it more inviting to the rabbit. It took me just over a week to litter train my rabbit. Some people have more difficulty doing this, and others simply don't try.

Yes, rabbit urine smells. However, this can be completely negated if you clean their litter box daily, or every other day. No one can smell rabbit anywhere in my apartment. I clean his box every day or every other day. I use apple cider vinegar to wipe his box down.

Next to discuss is damages. I am always saddened when he wrecks something. He's bitten through wires, but this has no been a big deal. My fiancee and I both know how to sauder wiring so it's a 5 minute or less task to fix these problems without losing the item. He's been remarkable in that he's not interested in chewing wood...but my goodness does he love leather. He has really done a number on our leather couch. No amount of sprays, couch covers or punishment has kept him away. We have surrendered the couch to him.

He used to be a caret chewer. But we realized we weren't providing him enough hay. When he has enough hay he leaves the carpet alone.

He is also destructive when he's bored. We're part of many family who has a free range rabbit. He has a cage (which we built a "coffee table" over to hide most of it) for him to hide in, sleep in if he wants, and where we keep his water and pellets. He likes he cage and sometimes he needs to go in it, but he honestly is out 24/7.

Rabbits are very engaging and rewarding as pets. But just an hour or two a night is not enough to keep them happy, healthy and social. My rabbit is not "cuddly" but he loves to sit next to you, lean into you and get pets. He licks my feet while I am working on my computer and likes to follow me around and hand out at my feet (or on them) where ever I am in the house. They demand more than cats and dogs, for certain, but I know I will never have any other type of pet.

Also, many rabbits don't shed much, just seasonally. I vacuum twice a week and my floors stay near perfect. Damage may occur but it depends on the rabbit and if you understand the rabbit's needs. With enough exercise, companionship, and a person to keep the litter box clean, they can be fantastic! In the future I won't own leather couches, or will bar the bunny from the living room (he'd still five rooms to roam). That's the only issue I have with him these days.
