Nero Fiddled, Obama Played Golf: Gerald Celente (Video)Submitted by bierdegarde on Sat, 01/25/2014 - 20:31
Gerald covers it all in this video, watch

His solution
Only when the people wake up will things change. He said to form a third party, have direct democracy, and a self sufficient economy. Problem is, the two parties have as close to a monopoly as possible.
The parallels to the world situation at the beginning of WWI is right on.
Changing Hearts and Minds,
Where have I heard that before?
Ron Paul Was Right
Gerald Celente
shares the same concern I have...what illegal actions will be taken next? What happened to the LIBOR scandal? What's up with Richard Holmes and Peter Lanza? What became of the people on trial at GE Financial? Did the trials end with the little fish?
The exposure by Donald Rumsfeld on September 10, 2001 of 2.3 trillion dollars missing from the Pentagon was never resolved.
The sociopaths and psychopaths are robbing us blind.
Gold and Silver
Ron Paul Was Right
Gerald's pissed...
and right on. Problem is (when asked) what do we do about it. No one has the balls to say what should be done. Writing your congressman doesn't work. Running a moral, intelligent man (Ron) doesn't work. Exercising your right to petition, doesn't work. Tell me, pray tell, what does work? Ron cured my apathy but....it's back now. Frankly, it's time to put the lights out on those who would enslave us....
"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is argument of tyrants. It is the creed of slaves." William Pitt in the House of Commons November 18, 1783
"I know major allies who fund them" Gen. Dempsey referring to ISIS
The Amish have the right idea...
Shun them. Turn our backs on them, and make them irrelevant.
What was necessary to form this great country? The colonists tried to petition King George concerning their grievances. King George reacted by making things worse. The same thing is happening today.
Maybe you're on to something...
we could start up Amish "like" towns all across the U.S. Don't pay taxes. Self sufficient. Starve the beast....
"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is argument of tyrants. It is the creed of slaves." William Pitt in the House of Commons November 18, 1783
"I know major allies who fund them" Gen. Dempsey referring to ISIS
Sounds like a plan to me.
Whatever we do, we have to get this country moving in the right direction again. Hopefully we can achieve this goal without the violence of the American revolution.

The 'We're Gonna Freeze to Death Because of Global Warming' Headline of the Day; Updated
**Written by Doug Powers
By way of Newsbusters, here's our global warming headline of the day, courtesy of Time Magazine:
The article itself discusses a few theories as to why the heat is causing the cold. Normally I don't like my scientific facts to be so littered with the word "theory," but I guess we can blame the ravages of global warming for the over-theorization of settled-science.
It seems like only yesterday that Time was parroting a different eco tune:
Update: Aw shucks, it's been brought to my attention that the above is a Photoshopped cover from this 2007 issue of Time. However, Time did explore the "theory" of global cooling in the late 70's.
Jeff Foxworthy could get a whole bit out of the "blizzards caused by global warming" insanity:
"If your copy of An Inconvenient Truth is frozen in a block of ice… you might be a victim of global warming."
"If your pet penguin asks you to buy him a Snuggie… you might be a victim of global warming."
"If you're on stage in a Florida strip club and your tongue gets stuck to the pole… you might be a victim of global warming."
The proper headline to the above Time column should have been, "Holiday Blizzard: More Signs of Winter," but how many carbon credits would that sell?

If India removed discriminatory barriers and improved intellectual property protection, U.S. exports to that country would rise by two-thirds (the equivalent of $14.4 billion, based on 2013 data) and U.S. investment would roughly double. That's the stunning conclusion of a U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) study out today on the impact of India's trade, investment and industrial policies on the U.S. economy.
The ITC's results confirm what manufacturers have long known – India's unfair policies increasingly are harming U.S. exports of a wide array of products, costing jobs and growth in both countries. The results provide a powerful roadmap for change as U.S. and Indian officials continue to work toward stronger bilateral commercial ties through the U.S.-India Trade Policy Forum and the High-Level Working Group on Intellectual Property.

Articles about reggae music, reviews, interviews, reports and more...
Roger Steffens a.k.a. Ras Rojah, founding editor of The Beat and photographer Peter Simon - already known for his books Reggae Bloodlines and Reggae International - come back with a new tribute to reggae.
Reggae Scrapbook is not just a book as the title suggests. It's a book where the visual prevail on words. Featuring autographed flyers, album covers, posters, postcards, stickers and tickets : the authors refer to almost half a century of Jamaican music.
In your hands, Reggae Scrapbook becomes a priceless treasure. All these pictures, these little pieces of paper accumulated during the past decades, which are gathered for you to discuss of topics like ska, rocksteady, rastafari, reggae and dancehall.
This book does not claim to be a source of information on reggae and its major stars. No, there is no big theory here, just small anecdotes and memories to create a kind of photo album, which we run over and over again.
It is also important to notice that this book includes a DVD entitled Reggae Scrapbook, Behind The Scenes, including some interviews by Roger Steffens of Luciano, Joseph Hill, Peter Tosh, Alton Ellis, The Heptones, Judy Mowatt, The Wailers Band, and Betty Wright.
Foreword by Toots Hibbert and introduction by Stephen Davis.

Thomasville vs. KraftMaid Cabinetry
I've been getting conflicting advice on these two brands of cabinetry and would like opinions from those of you who have experience with either.
I'm interested in the maple slab door style.
The info I received from the Home Depot person was that KM was a better product overall but especially because the door is solid wood. She said the Thomasville slab door was veneer. I can't find information online to verify or dispute this.
On the other hand, the woman designing the plan for our new house says KM is junk and Thomasville is the superior product.
I've searched online for reviews and haven't found anything helpful so I'm hoping someone this forum can help me.
My GC thought that our Thomasville cabinets were a very good product overall. He had no problems installing them. The ONLY negative things he said about them were:
1) Your shelves are held up with plastic shelf pins. (He suggested that once we're sure we want them in certain places, he could come in and brace them a little better.) Be sure, though, to use ALL of the shelf pins and don't miss one or you could have a shelf fall down.
2) Your sides are not solid good wood, most are particle board. However, they are good wood and solid where they need to be.
We had two different KD's at Home Debit. Both said that the Thomasville was considered their "top of the line", American Wood Mark was their bottom of the line, and KraftMaid was "near top". But as someone said in another thread, that could be because of incentives that they were getting to sell TV vs KM.
Overall, I'm happy with our Thomasville. I've got photos of the open cabinetry on page 5 of the photo album I've linked below, if you'd like to see the insides.
Here is a link that might be useful: Donna's kitchen from start to finish
We had Thomasville cabinets from Home Depot in our old house. We were very pleased and thought they gave great value. I'd buy them again in a second. Great advice about using all the plastic pins, though. We had a shelf fall in the middle of the night and scare the bejeezus out of us after a plumber took out and "replaced" one of the shelves when he was doing some work.
We love our Kraftmaid but mainly picked it as I fell in love with our door style and didn't really look at anything else. I commented about the incentives. I never found HD or Lowes helpful and we bought ours through Just Cabinets as Washington Checkbooks rated them slightly cheaper.
I just looked and our pins are metal, but I can imagine you can't go buy metal ones vs. using the plastic ones if that is a concern.
I can say our KM is not junk and we are very happy with them. (I'm sure some people had bad luck and theirs are junk but that happens with any big mass producer with any product).
Get what you like and make sure to pay by credit card just to protect yourself in case you have a problem.
And, with KM, I would upgrade the sink base (in case water gets to it) to plywood sides as well as any cabinets with exposed sides but those not exposed (interior cabinets) go with the particle board - no one will know and we've had no problems. Our doors are solid wood (we drilled through them for the knobs).
I can't speak to Thomasville but I probably would have considered them too if I hadn't been so determined with this one door style.
What bothers me about Thomasville is that it is exclusive to Home Depot and KraftMaid can be purchased from other retailers. This is not to say that Thomasville is a bad product it only means that you will not be able to shop around for a better price. I also wonder who actually makes the Thomasville line. The fact that you can only purchase the line through HD causes me to believe that Thomasville licensed their name out. Maybe a different line from the same manufacturer would be just as good or better for less money beacuse you wouldn't me paying for the famous name. Just something to think about.
The KD we dealt with at HD told us that Kraftmaid were "better" based on her experience. She had fewer problems with Kraftmaid and when she did the company stood behind them. I think her opinion was strictly based on what she has seen in her particular store with her customers.
don't know thomasville, but happy with KM at our house. because ours are outlet specials, one cabinet was missing the shelf and shelf pins. we were able to choose from a wide selection of metal and plastic shelf pins in the hardware aisle of our local HD. this was a new display i am sure, because i looked for those little pins a few years ago and they didn't have them. they come in bags of 10 or so and they are pretty cheap. you could just replace the plastic with metal if you like thomasville...
the plastic pins are a problem though...we also had a shelf collapse, not in the kitchen, but on a different piece of furniture. good luck kren
I do not know anything about Thomasville, but we do have KraftMaid Cabinets. We purchased them in the summer 2006 through a local cabinet shop, not through a big box retailer. We did upgrade to all plywood construction and the pins are metal, except the clip pins on the shelves in the tall cabinets - those are plastic. We are happy with the construction, the finish and the look. Overall the quality of ours is good and I consider myself fairly picky about the details.
You will read complaints about the quality of KraftMaid cabinets (construction, finish, service) from others on this forum though. After following these KraftMaid quality discussions on the board for quite a while, DH and I can't help but think that there may be a different spec for the mass production of cabinets for the big box retailers at Kraftmaid than for their other independent distributors. Or that the sheer volume of production required for the big box orders causes the factory to go too fast and "short" the quality control on those production runs. It sure seems that the people with major complaints about KraftMaid on this board, purchased them through a big box retailer. OTOH, it could be just the percentages of problems are the same but the numbers sold through big box stores are so much bigger, that the number of complaints heard from that segment of the market are larger.
I'm not sure this helps!! Just what I've been thinking. We like our KraftMaid cabinets very much. -Kim

Several years ago I met an executive from a company that made stuff you'd buy at hardware or big-box stores. He said that he couldn't do business with the big-box guys because (this is an exact quote) 'they won't let you earn a profit'. He wouldnÂt do business with them because they wanted him to cut the price; he said the only way to do that and still make a profit was by cutting the quality. His company was founded on quality, so he wouldnÂt do it.
If the supplier/manufacturer wants access to the big distribution company, they must have a way to manufacture their products for less, or ship 'junk'. Take a close look at the quality of ceramic bath fixtures sold at the big-box stores. High-end manufacturers selling top-of-the-line designs for a big discount? Why would they do that? They do it because they can unload the stuff that comes out of the mold incorrectly. A lot of it has flaws, some only Âcosmetic (e.g. the front of a sink that has a bulge) and some actually functional (e.g. a toilet that doesnÂt sit correctly on the floor). Many of these problems are subtle, so you donÂt notice until the thing is installed. YouÂre a ÂDIYSÂer, so you think you did something wrong when it starts to leak. Or youÂre so sick of the project you live with the Âwavy sink because you canÂt bear to reinstall a good one. If you look carefully, you can see the poor quality in floor models on display at some stores!!!! So, in this sense, at least for some products at the big box stores, you get what you pay for. Be really careful to inspect before you install, and be ready to spend lots of time and energy complaining like crazy to get the quality you expect from the name brand company. At some point, it makes sense to spend an extra % to get shipment from a small distributor whose existence depends on having a stellar reputation in their market area. IÂm not in the business, but IÂve had/seen/heard about lots of REALLY frustrating experiences. I'm thinking I'll get my new cabinets from the local lumber guy rather than the HD or Lowes in my town.
The Thomasvilles were bought 2011, and the KraftMaids were bought 2003. I should have asked more questions instead of assuming that the 2011 edges would be veneered like the 2003 ones had been veneered. The 2011 edges either were painted -- in the case of two of the wall cabinets -- or left raw on the base cabinet. To make things even worse, instead of the toe-kick board capping the ends on the base cabinet, it was set into the ends, leaving the ends' raw edges exposed. What KraftMaids are like now, I can't say, but I can say that I'm disappointed with the Thomasvilles.
Now to Home Depot: Please do not take your Home Depot Kichen Designer's word that what you want is what got ordered. Because the Thomasvilles would be going in a bathroom, we asked for and were assured that we would be getting all-plywood construction. One piece out of 5 had plywood ends. Everything else, including the base, had "Furniture Board" ends and backs, the Thomasville term for chipboard. Because the contractor would be arriving soon and because of the complications of making a return and reordering, oil-based urethane on raw surfaces has been the solution. When you order from Home Depot and if you want all plywood construction, there will be separate lines on your HD Special Services Customer Invoice with "PLYWOOD" spelled out. If those "PLYWOOD" entries are not there, you're getting the default "Furniture Board"/chipboard unless you get the misorder corrected.
We just had our Thomasville cabinets installed today. Our cabinets are maple, with solid maple, raised panel doors. We chose Thomasville over KM because TV had some features that KM did not offer. We wanted solid wood full overlay doors, all plywood boxes, quiet close doors, and heavy duty drawer glides. Some of these things were upgrades. We liked that we had many options to customize, so we got exactly what we wanted. I am happy with them so far. Ask me again in a few months when I have had a chance to use them for a while.
Our cabinet have labels on them that say they were made in Arthur, IL
We put a KM vanity from HD in our bathroom a couple of years ago. The doors are slab maple. I don't remember making a solid vs. veneer decision, but I just looked at them and they look solid to me. The vanity isn't used as heavily as a frequently used kitchen cabinet, but we're happy. They look nice and function well. We have soft close doors and drawers. We went with KM because the designer at HD said KM was the top of their line and I think she said Thomasville came in second.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was conceived in 1983 as a method to copy DNA. Over the next two years, a team of Cetus scientists researched, refined and made the theoretical process a reality. In 1991, Roche bought the rights to PCR and invested in refining the science for use in diagnostics to detect diseases. Since then, Roche Molecular Diagnostics has developed numerous tests to identify diseases as well as create the first opportunity to monitor viral load and inform treatment through a diagnostic tool.

7minutes to love
I downloaded this about a week and a half ago and am still going strong. The exercises are well designed and really give a total body workout. A couple of them were too difficult for me but with the help of a friend I have been able to compensate. The achievements really motivate me! I love getting that little panel of what I have accomplished after every workout.
I have two critiques, and I feel they are minor points to how great this is overall. If you are someone, like me, who is looking for big results but is seriously out of shape one 7minute circuit is not going to be enough. I had a friend who is a personal trainer and she helped me navigate how to optimize. For someone who doesn't have that they may not understand the best way to use this app. I think adding a feature where folks who have purchased can get that kind of advice would be amazing. Also (and this is just a silly thing and the gamer in me) I think it would be awesome if we could define our own achievements. It would add an extra level of motivation and make it really fun.
Loving it!
This is my first attempt to work out after having my son. He's 2 so it's long overdue and I was afraid of jumping into something too difficult. I love this routine. I used to do p90x and liked it but the one I have is the first one where the workouts are 40 minutes or more. That doesn't work when you have to cram eating and showering in during naptime. This is perfect. There's no excuse for me as far as time. I've been using it a week and I already feel stronger in my core and hubby says I have more energy and tone ;) thank you for making a compact workout. PERFECT mom workout! My only suggestion is to add in a way to track measurements like waist, thighs, biceps, etc because muscle weighs more than fat. That means sizes might go down but weight might not drop. Just another way to motivate and track change.
Extremely Disappointed, but it gets the job done.
There is no variety in this app except for the 12 exercises you start with. I wish I would have researched a little more to see that there were 10 apps that already existed for free with the exact same exercises and features. Do your research before purchasing. I don't like that in order to unlock more exercise and I have to work out two weeks consecutively then a month then two months consecutively or pay a $1.99 to open and unlock those additional exercises which are probably just as plain and boring as the other ones. I'll continue to search and will probably find the exact kind of app with in the app store that exist for free. Of course I will continue to use the app because I paid for but again, In the future I will do my research.

how does one apply dipel dust?
this might be a stupid question but I bought a bag of dipel dust and I am wondering how other people go about using it. I assume you put it on the actual plant, but what is the preferred method? Sprinkle it by hand? Put it in a pepper shaker ;)?
Also, is there a big difference between spinosad and bt? from what I've read they are basically for the same purpose, do you agree?
There are no stupid questions.
You can apply Dipel with a shaker can if you have one. If you scatter it by hand, I'd wear gloves. If you are going to use Dipel and similar dust products, you might want to invest in a Dustin-Mizer or something similar.
Bt is a microbial pesticide, Bacillus thuringiensis, that comes in several forms. Bt 'Kurstaki', for example, targets needle- and leaf-ingesting caterpillars and it is the one we commonly use for cabbage loopers, imported cabbage worms, tomato hornworms, fruitworms and pinworms, corn earworms, etc. Dipel is a Bt 'Kurstaki' product.
Bt 'Israelensis' comes in both round dounghnut-shaped dunks that you drop into water and in granular 'bits' you can scatter on the surface of water and it targets mosquito larvae, killing them before they can develop from the larval form to the flying mosquito form.
Bt 'San Diego' targets Colorado Potato Beetles. There are other more obscure forms of Bt available through some organic providers but they are mostly used in commercial production for highly specialized purposes.
Each version of Bt targets a fairly narrow category of pest, so it is more of a narrow-spectrum bioinsecticide.
Spinosad, on the other hand, is more of a broad-spectrum microbial pesticide and it targets a wider range of pest. It is organic though, and does not target as many kinds of pests as synthetic broad-spectrum pesticides so it still is safer to use around beneficial insects as long as the beneficials are carnivores and not omnivores. In order for Spinosad to work (and Bt too) it has to be ingested by the targeted pest, and since most beneficials eat other insects and not the treated plant parts, it tends not to affect them. I think it can harm bees so it is best not to use it when bees are out.
So, if I know I am targeting a specific pest on which Bt is effective, I use the Bt that works on that pest since it won't harm anything else and I like to take the approach that does the least harm. If I need pest control of a problem insect that is not affected by Bt, Spinsosad is the choice. So, no, I don't agree they are basically the same because one is narrow-spectrum and the other is broad-spectrum. However, they are the same in the way that they work--via ingestion--and in the fact that both are produced from naturally-occuring microbes. You can use Spinosad on any of the pests that the Bt's are used for and it probably will kill them. However, the Bts are more limited and only work on their target group.
And, if you really love butterflies and moths, be careful using Bt 'Kurstaki' or you'll wipe out your butterfly and moth population.
Hope this info helps.
Here is a link that might be useful: Info on the Dustin-Mizer
Last week, I pulled open the top husks of most of my corn and sprinkled Dipel dust on the top corn kernels to kill the earworms that were in all my ears. I hoped that I was doing it right but really don't know if this is a safe way to use the dust. I had heard that it was approved for organic use.
Bt is a bacteria that targets only caterpillars and similar pests, so it is perfectly safe to sprinkle directly on the corn.
I don't like genetically-modified crops (and don't grow them), but one type of GMO they are making for commercial producers is crops that have Bt inserted into them (I don't know how they do that) and one of the GMO crops is BT-corn.
Is there a type of Bt that targets ants and/or fleas? I have a new garden pond, and I had ALOT of tadpoles, which are now toads. They are still very little and I don't want to do any harm to them. But, ants and fleas are a problem.
Thanks, Vickie
Well, then you need to purchase only organic foods, including sodas (high fructose corn syrup) if you drink them, because you won't find much, if any, corn produced conventionally in this country that isn't either GMO or raised chemically.
For ants, I use EcoSense fire ant granules or Safer fire ant granules, which contain Spinosad. I find the EcoSEnse ones at Wal-Mart. At our Wal-Mart they are on the shelf near the Miracle-Grow and other water-soluable plant fertilizers, and not with the regular pesticides. Wal-Mart's EcoSense line is limited, but at least they have a few organic products there in the store. Safer and other companies also market spinosad-based organic ant killers.
For fire ants, the product you want is Come and Get It (linked below). I haven't heard if spinosad is effective on fleas, so if you try it and it works, I hope you'll let us know.
I've never heard of a Bt that targets ants. The closest thing to a biological control for ants is other ants that eat them (for example, our native fire ants eat imported fire ants) and Texas A&M has been releasing the phorid fly for years (on an experimental basis) and this fly targets fire ants, but it is not even close to being available to home consumers yet.

James --
I know this is a few years after your post . . . still, it might be of help in the future. I have found the #1 best cure for the corn earworm problem is to dust the silks with ground black pepper (like the stuff you would use as a spice when cooking). You can usually buy a sizable bottle for a $1 at most "dollar" stores. McCormack's brand will work too, yet it is quite expensive to use a brand name for such and application. The moths can't stand the pepper, and thus they won't hang around the silks long enough to lay eggs (which later hatch out into what we know as the earworm).
black pepper works ok for corn ear worm....but it only lasts about 2 days...and if it rains that is it for the pepper. My Granddad taught me to put a few drops of mineral oil in the tops of the ears of corn when they first set silks by using an ear dropper. it works great and will only have to be done once. I have never had a problem with earworms on any corn that was treated this way, and it is perfectly safe AND cheap (olive oil also works well).

Karigraphy- 'thank you' - speechless!
DH and I arrived home at about the same time; he was at the a mailbox; as I drove up, he pointed to the BOX on our front steps! Oh my! I said "who is it from?' He said "doesn't say."
I looked and my name was in gorgeous caligraphy. But . . . I said, "it can't be from Karen, she already sent her package". . . But it was from Pa. I was pretty sure she was from Pa. Oh my. . .
And there was clearly the most beautiful name label I have ever seen (I have it) ... before doing anything (I am a delayed gratification person) I checked Karen's info -- sure enough PA!
I really found that exciting because I bonded a lot with the idea of the twins going off to Kindergarten (and memories of my three monster creatures). . . now grown up but never gone.
The box itself was beautiful. I took a picture, but it revealed too much about ourselves for the net. Ask Alison-- my box was a mess.
There was a letter. I knew all that stuff! But wow . . . she sure knew a lot about me! Yikes. I am pretty transparent and Karen really did her research.
Well she is sooo thoughtful and smart and "my goodness" thorough.
Here are my goodies.
The greatest gifts take work. Karen gave me HISTORY. Ok-now I need to learn more about those molten lava cakes and the surprise cheese balls --I have the recipes, but should I use them???
Check out the hand made caligraphy recipe cards. Oh my . . . I better come up with something good! I love irish soda bread --my grandma came here from Ireland in the late 1900's. I am a bakin'.
Take a look at these. From Trax Farms in Finleyville, Pa. (Near Karen's hometown) Fuzzy Navel Jam, Blue Blazes (Blueberry Jalepeno Preserves), and Mango Ginger Chutney. Give me ideas. They sound great and look great. And Pickapeppa Sauce -- Karen already gave me a recipe . . . hers sounds right up DH's alley. thank you.
Fred, Frank, Ginny, and Jezabel know (not that they ever doubted it) that their place in the world is valued.
. I really need help with ideas. This MOOSEWOOD RESTAURANT COOKS at HOME cookbook will make my DIL put me up there (forget DD-who owes me). My tea towels, which match my kitchen perfectly, will take the place of ancient blue towels that don't match. And the green silicone hot spots have been coveted by yours truely. thank you.
I never heard of one until this forum. Now I have one and need it all of the time. Check out the glass of wine that I enjoyed while I enjoyed this perfect swap box.
Thank you. I feel very cared for . . . swap partner. Adele
Yay! What a wonderful package Adele! (Is that a Colorado columbine on the front of the recipe binder?)
The 'yummie' look wonderful, too. Pickapeppa is great, but the others sound good, too. Fuzzy Navel Jam -- wasn't someone speculating about 'Cosmo' jelly? Must be a trend.
Great job, Karen, and it's sounds like you'll be enjoying some of these for years, Adele!
Oh, the tea towels are lovely, I really like that color, and the Cooking Forum Cookbook is such a good, creative idea.
Beautiful package! If you don't need those towels I'd be happy to take them off your hands. I'm so impressed with the recipe cards. You'll love that microplane too!
Karen, you are a woman of many talents!
What a great box! I love the handmade recipe cards. That is very special.
The tea lights with the pets is cute. I love how you displayed the zester.
What a great idea that recipe book is--and made just for you recipe cards--that's so special. The Moosewood cookbook has lots of great recipes--their soups esp. And welcome to the microplane zesting world! you'll wonder how you lived without one.
What wonderful personal items, Karen. You did a wonderful job.
Adele, enjoy all these wonderful treats!!! Please explain, though. You said it couldn't be from Karen, she had already sent her package. Did she? I'm confused...(I know, it doesn't take much...)
Adele - I'm so glad you are enjoying your swap package!
After we started to get to know each other a bit online I was feeling like I was keeping a BIG secret! he he he
Because you are a newer CF member, but jumped right in as an active participant, I thought you should have your own T&T favorite recipes. In fact, I'm thinking about making a similar binder for myself - you are now officially MUCH more organized than I am.
The photo on the front of the binder is of white columbines I had in my garden prior to putting in a new patio that effected the area where they were. I'd love to find them again to add to the garden. They gained sentimental value after the shootings at the school in Columbine. I've been pondering how to do a calligraphy piece that incorporates that image.
I have no idea what to do with Fuzzy Navel Jam and Blue Blazes preserves and Mango Ginger Chutney - I picked them because they were unique and YOU would have to use your imagination! Of course, the jam and preserves could go right on top of a bagel. The chutney, now that will take imagination although I've eaten it right out of the jar.
Happy zesting and I hope you continue to use and enjoy it all.
Adele I love both the cookbooks and everything else too. I've seen so many recipes for the Moosewood Restaurant that I'm sure its got to be a great place to eat. Those hand lettered recipe cards should be kept in the family for many generations to come. Be sure and share some recipes!!
The cards are incredible! I would hate to write on them and ruin them! What a lot of time and energy went into that box.
I love the photo of the white columbines. Columbine is our state flower, and of course, the Columbine school thing, well, my nephew graduated from Columbine High this past Spring. (That whole incident was so painful for us.) Anyway, I've never seen white ones. They're BEAUTIFUL!
That chutney would probably go well on pork roasts or chops. Also on any curry dishes as a condiment, like shrimp curry. Yum!
Marcia - I got the white columbines out of a garden of a friend. She said columbines are notoriously hard to transplant from one garden to another but I gave it a try. It took a few years to get a cluster established.
I think I'll be paying my old friend a visit next spring!

PROS: This is a beautifully designed, understated cup and saucer set for 6 everyone must have. I purchased this set for latte and cappuccino made with my Gaggia espresso maker. This is the perfect size cup for specialty coffee drinks - wide yet low. Made of ceramic, this Red Vanilla cup & saucer set features very smooth, well-made surfaces, beautiful shape - modern and stylish, excellent wall thickness which allows the liquid inside to remain hot, well-ballanced weight. This set arrived well packaged and on-time. I would recommend this set and most likely will purchase more Red Vanilla products in the future. Overstock.com is my favorite place to shop online! CONS: I wasn't impressed with the most annoying, difficult to remove product stickers almost permanently glued to each cup and saucer. It took me about 20 minutes to partially remove them by hand, 30 minutes dishwashing cycle, and 10 minutes scrubbing with alcohol to remove the sticky glue residue. I hope Red Vanilla could rethink the amount and easiness of removal of their product stickers.
I actually fell in love with it. I have a brand loyalty and it was my first purchase from this company. I was impressed with quality, simplicity, design and durability. I had them for weeks and they have no discoloration due to constant espresso use. planning to buy whole dinner set from red vanilla.
If what you need are substantial, nicely designed cups with saucers - - then this is it. If what you need are substantial, nicely designed cups with saucers that match the Red Vanilla Everytime dinnerware, pass this one up. It's not a match. The color is not pure white but an off-white. Nice, though. Totally mis-represented.
I love this line of dinnerware! They look very classic and sophisticated, but are sturdy. They are perfect for special occasions and are great for every day use as well. Very pretty. The color was a true match from the website.
