This recipe is quickly becoming one of my "go-to" recipes when I have an event or need to use some kind of fruit. In addition to cranberry I've done blueberry and rhubarb. I have a pomegranate sitting on the kitchen counter right now . . . it will probably be in a "crustless pomegranate pie" on Chri...

Ginger, I had the same reaction!! :lol: I sew and (try to) quilt, so of course I have quite a fabric stash :roll: . But I usually don't pay a lot of attention to whose fabrics they are. So at the mention of fabric I had to go out and google Laurel Birch fabrics . . . only to find out I have seen the...

I agree, what a lovely display! It's looks so fresh and so cozy and inviting. Love it!!

Thanks for posting all the pictures, I've been enjoying them!

Don't you love getting a deal on a great fabric?! :lol: I love the purse, looks nice and roomy, without looking like she's carrying a tote bag. Completed projects feel great, don't they! I'm in the middle of running my sewing machine to death doing Christmas gifts. DH is a woodworker and usually mak...

Beautiful pictures! Like was already said, looks like a Christmas card! I just love the cardinals in winter.

I bought one of these this spring in a 2-gal pot. I couldn't pass up those leaves with the silver veins! Anyway, I walked past it 2 weeks ago and noticed it was blooming!! Cool! I looked online and it isn't described by any vendors as fall-blooming or re-blooming, but comments in several forums seem...

Awww, sounds like a perfect fit. Zeke was smart to figure out he had to use all his charms to win over DH right away!! He must have known that would ensure his place in the household!

He's a cutie!! Have lots of fun with him!!!

I have a mini-muffin pan . . . . . guess I'll have to try these. They sound delicious! I love both sticky buns and pecan pie, so anything that is a cross between them has to be good!!!

Awww, sounds adorable!!

Char, it's beautiful! I love the traditional design in the bright happy colors!!!

Hey Muffy, that's so cool! I've lived around here my whole life and have never seen a black one. (Saw one with a white tail once . . . ) Showed hubby your pictures, he can't believe it's around here, says you photo-shopped the picture!!!! :lol: I told him no way!! You and Annie are so good you don't...

Awww, what a great Halloween cat picture! :pumpkin: I agree, it's hard to get a good picture of an all black cat. My black cat Butch was a husky 16 lbs in his prime, the vet wasn't concerned and said for a young active cat, he was fine. Last month at the vet he clocked in at just over 11 lbs and he ...

Yep, the hostas will be fine. Walnut trees are great for underplanting with hostas because the walnut roots grown DOWN, rather than at the surface where they would compete with hostas. Walnut trees are WAY better than those doggone maples!!! But like others have mentioned, the roots of walnut do rel...

Could be the raccoons. I have found our bowl off the porch out in the lawn. We try to discourage them by giving our cat only as much food as he will eat at one sitting, but you know how finicky cats are, some days he eats it all, other days he doesn't. So the coons are occasionally successful and co...

Stephanie, I'll second what Chris said . . . it's a moisture thing. They like sun, but can't tolerate dry. I've had them in full sun and they did well when I kept them moist, they didn't thrive as well if I didn't give them extra water. I found a mostly sunny spot that stays moist from run-off, and ...

Thanks Chris!! It never occurred to me that I could harvest any time other than spring!! Now I'm going to be having some fresh fall rhubarb!!! YEA!!!

I've grown rhubarb for years. Always harvest it in the spring when the new stalks are abundant. Then I just leave it alone the rest of the year, it tends to get pretty yellow and scraggly looking by mid-summer. This year, mine has had a BURST of growth over the last couple weeks. The plants are just...

Those look great Karma! Nice variety there. Mine took their time, but finally started turning a couple weeks ago, now they won't stop! I put up 7 more pints of stewed toms this morning, then I want to get two more big batches of salsa, after I'll give up on trying to keep up with them! Extra tomatoe...

Yes, this is a GREAT recipe that I've been using for several years now. A great way to use up zucchini. Like Chris, I've come up with a variety of alterations and use it for a main course for any meal . . . Shred up a leftover salmon filet and mix it in, yummy with a seafood flavor. Stir in leftover...

Made this for my family reunion on Sunday. Hubby REALLY liked it and asked me to make more! Thanks for the recipe!!!
