Recent Tasting Notes
A one off sample from a friend that I have had for far too long. As far as I can remember I haven't tried Wissotzky before so this shall be completely new.
Bag: Looked somewhat powdery and smelled strongly of ginger.
Steep: The colour is very yellow with a smell of subtle and fresh lemongrass.
Well while this tastes like lemongrass with a slight spicy ginger kick and that sounds nice I find that this is lacking something. It's light and slightly spicy but with nothing to ground it…I can't taste the green tea at all. It tastes like a Chinese remedy instant drink mixture that dissolves in water instead of a tea.
Pop a small sachet of chopped lemongrass and a pinch of ginger root and pour warm water over it and you will basically have this tea. Not very impressed at all and I am certainly not sad I only have one bag. Just not for me.
This comes from the travelling tea box. Thanks to ssajami for a sample!
It's hard to find info on this tea. ssajami wrote (in the handy tea traveling book) "Local blend of black with safe, lemongrass, and cardamom." This isn't the exact same tea, since this doesn't have lemongrass in it, but I didn't feel like making a new entry.
This chai intrigued me because I rarely see chai's with lemongrass in them. It adds a nice flavor but doesn't overwhelm the chai.
This tea blends also says, "The nomadic Bedouins traditionally drink this tea "strong and sweet," so it is recommended to leave the tea to steep for at least 5 minutes before removing the bag, then sweeten."
I am a wimp about bitterness, so I probably steeped it closer to 2-3 min (I didn't have an official timer), but maybe next time I'll give it a longer steep since that's the traditional way.
Oh, and if you were wondering what Bedouin refers to (because I didn't prior to this tasting note), wikipedia knows: "The Bedouin are a part of a predominantly desert-dwelling Arabian ethnic group traditionally divided into tribes, or clans, known in Arabic as."
Backlog from yesterday evening. I got home from traveling, and was extremely tired, but as it was early evening and not yet bedtime, I didn't want to sleep. So, I needed a nice and strong caffinated tea, and quick.
On to the note!
Taste: For some reason, regular black teas, or mixtures kind of like English Breakfast always remind me of honey for some reason. I guess it's just the bold, slightly sweet taste of tea. This tea delivers a nice, rich taste, and gives a sweet aftertaste. All in all, it was a nice tea, not too plain but not too jazzy.
Backlog from yesterday.
I HAVE BEEN AWAY TOO LONG! I'm sorry, Steepster peeps! It's funny though, I've gained a few followers in my absence. So I guess there's a plus.
Updates on me: Graduated, which I already put in my last tasting note, but it can't hurt to repeat it. And now I'm prepping for college and moving into a dorm August 23rd. Still drinking all my bagged teas, so my notes may repeat for a while, but as I go back and re-taste I love or hate those teas more. So far, no hating though. :3
This time around, with this tea I made it in a pot on the stove and actually steamed vanilla soy-milk in the tea after it had steeped well enough, so I was able to fully mix the milk in, and it was—AMAZING. My friend made something like this a while back, which she called a Chai Latte, despite it not being that frothy, but instead of using an actual Chai tea bag, she used regular black tea, and then mixed in the spices. Either way, I guess you could call this a latte, but it's missing whip cream and a bit more frothiness!
Either way, it was amazingly yummy, and I have finally found a way to properly mix Chai and milk to get the perfect taste.
I'm drinking this now, so this review will be very fresh.
To start, I must confess I have not mastered the art of properly warming hot milk and mixing it with chai tea. So I happen to enjoy my chai either with or without cream. Luckily, all the chais I've enjoyed are good by themselves. (I'm a grammar nazi, and that sounds wrong? I don't know though.)
Tasting now. Yum. I adore Chai, and W tea has done it right. It's got all the wondrous spices of Chai, all mixed together to produce that cinnamony, spicy glory. I haven't researched the ingredients In Chai to be able to name each one I taste, but the cinnamon is there. It has a rich flavor, and it tingles nicely on the tongue. It's a warming tea, no doubt. I really love this tea!
Best with a medium amount of sugar, or to your own preference. Cream or no cream, that is the question. I take it either way, so do as you like. It steeps best at the longer end of the scale, and I have yet to over-steep chai. Make a cup, curl up in your favorite spot with a book, and enjoy!
I am re-visiting this one, because I was walking downstairs to make tea, hadn't decided on what, and the smells in the air were mixing, somehow, someway, to remind me of Earl Grey. And I immediately was like, "I have to have Earl Grey!"
However, this Earl Grey has a twist to it, this time! For my 18th birthday party in April, I had a nice sized tea party, and we went all out. We also had coffee there, for my coffee loving friends (and me, since I can do coffee every once in a while) and my mother bought a lot of coffee creamers, all with a certain flavor. Well, I have been using some in my regular black teas, and they are all great.
But we have some mini Almond Joy creamers, and I put some in this Earl Grey, and OH MY GOOD GRACIOUS IT IS AMAZING!! Of course, you have to like slight almond, and lots of coconut. Best part is, even though the coconut is very strong in this cup (I'm using a teacup, so small oz size, anyway) you can still taste the Earl Grey. It's a very sweet, smooth mix and I am really happy with it! :-)
I must apologize, Wissotzy Earl Grey. I have re-considered you, and have found with some patience, you aren't that bad. Upping the rating and changing the note. The other note will remain, to warn of what can happen if you don't get EG right, but I may drop the rating.
This Earl Grey is very time and temperature sensitive, that hasn't changed. However, now that I know so much more about properly making tea, everything has changed.
Also, as a side note: I am going back over many of my bagged teas, partially because recently, my tea strainer has been buried beneath lots of dishes and I am too lazy to get it (yes, I know, shame) and I also just want to enjoy all my teas, not just my loose leaf.
Now for the new review:
Smell: It's not strong in the bag, though steeping it's there. It's not fragarent, per say, but more bold and black-tea smelling than bergamot.
Taste: If steeped too long (four or five minutes) this tea becomes very bitter. But I steeped at 3 minutes this time, and found the taste to be a bit strong, but not horrible, and with sugar and cream, everything balanced out very well. It's not a powerful bergamot taste, but the classic Earl Grey flavor is there, just more bold and black than usual. The cream makes it softer, and I put in enough sugar to give the mouthfeel a slightly (almost) grainy charateristic. (The sugar probably didn't fully dissolve, but it was alright.)
Over all, this still wasn't a superb awesome EG, but it wasn't as bad as before, and I happen to like it enough to finish off the whole box, and I MAY order more in the future. (Especially if I keep experimenting. More notes will tell.)
Oh, yeah, FYI: I used boiling water for this, BUT I know that it could have been better with maybe 180 degrees, give or take. Boiling water, if poured directly over the bag, steeps it almost instantly. But it was still good!
Talk about bitter Bergamot. This tea……….is ok. Maybe alright. I wish I could give it an astounding review because…..I love Wissotzky Tea, and I love Earl Grey. But, unfortunately, this has a very bitter flavor. And the scent was amazing, it had a nice, dark rich color, and it steeped well and EVERYTHING.
And then I taste it and it's……eh. A little bit more sugar makes it a bit better, and maybe some cream might have helped. I'll enjoy it enough to finish the box, but I don't think I'll be trying this brand of Earl Grey again. sigh It had so much promise!
I haven't been logging or drinking steadily for days. Backlog from…Tuesday morning? (I GRADUATED!) Or was it yesterday? I forgot. Oh well.
I had forgotten how good this was! It's very flavorful, with just the right amount of rose without being too much, AND there is a cinnamony/spicy chai background to it. It's really yummy. I was debating trying it with milk, but didn't know if the rose would curdle it or not? Either way, great tea.
As you can see by my rating, I really like this tea. The first time I tasted it, I think I either steeped it wrong or sweetened too much or maybe both, and I drank it down fast so the taste wasn't there. Now, I'm by myself, without any distractions, and I think I prepped it right this time. The taste of this tea is very delicate. The first taste is a light rose flavor, and then the sweet spicyness of chai, though this has been lowered compared to regular chai, to allow for the rose flavoring.The rose flavor is just the right amount to be able to taste it, which lacks in a lot of other "rose" teas I've drank, and the definite chai flavor is still there. It's got a nice sweetness too it, without being overpowering, and I used raw cane sugar, rather than the typical white. I'd say a tablespoon to about two tablespoons of that sugar, give or take based on personal preference, and you're in the right zone. (I used some leftover sugar packets, so I don't know how they equate to spoonfuls. You'll have to test it to your own liking.) All in all, I think this is a fine rose tea, and I can see myself enjoying more in the future!
Note: My water temperature slider isn't working. :( I don't know what the typical kettle temperature is as far as the kettle SUPER whistling, but if water boils at 212 then maybe something above that? Sorry, unsure on this one.
Before I get into the taste of this tea, I want to talk about the color. This tea…when they say "Blood" orange, they mean it. The color has an orange color, most definitely, but it is red orange, to say the least. Put it in a black cup, and it looks a bit like blood. To avoid that creepy feeling, I'd stick to any other color of china, glass, mug, etc. So all in all, I love the color, minus the vampire scare. XD
Now onto taste: This is an orange lover's tea. I happen to be an orange lover. :-) It has a VERY strong citrus-y taste, obviously, orange being the major one. You take a sip and you are greeted with a strong sour, which then quickly transforms to a sweet orange flavor. Proper sweetening to taste will change the speed of that transformation, or if there is a sour taste at all. I have just started using Agave Nectar, and about a tablespoon and a half (that's guessing though, need to go back and measure exactly) gets a nice sweet without overpowering the tangy of the orange. So it's a sweet-and-sour deal, and if you like orange, you'll LOVE this tea.
I believe I only have one of these teabags and it's the perfect morning for some Jasmine Green. I need to relax and do some work.
Right so this looks like a nice enough green tea in colour and it smells lovely thanks to the Jasmine. Fresh smelling considering it's bagged.
The green tea is subtle in taste and the jasmine is mild with a stronger after taste. It's very pleasant and that's a real surprise. I think the steeping time is perfect because any stronger it would taste too sour. It freshens the breath wonderfully as well.
I prefer something like Pu Erh blended with Jasmine but this is an easier substitute (since it's pre bagged).
I bought a box of this in Jerusalem several years ago, and it's been at my workplace ever since (I'm trying to get my work tea collection into Steepster as I use them). As I was adding this tea to the database, I discovered not only that it isn't made anymore, but that before it was discontinued, lemon verbena was added for awhile, or even replaced all the other ingredients (searches yield contradictory info). The ingredients on my box/teabag covers are:
Rosemary, spearmint leaves, sage leaves, peppermint leaves.
Which is what this tastes like to me. The brewing time given below yields a dark brownish-green brew that tastes of peppermint + cooking herbs, which is pretty much what it is. If you like peppermint and peppermint blends, this is something you'd like, but since it isn't made anymore, good luck with that.
I do want to point out that although Wissotzky teas (watch out for the misspelling Wissotsky—there is one tea listed on Steepster under that brand) are from Israel, the package I got in Jerusalem—and all the other packages I saw at the grocery store where I got this—does have ingredients/nutritional/volume information in English. You just have to kind of look around the box until you find the English characters. The rest of the package has Hebrew writing, which (unless you were really, really good in Hebrew school as a kid) is not possible for an English/Romance speaker to read and interpret on-the-fly. I count on figuring out foreign food packages if there is French/Italian/Spanish/Portuguese somewhere on the label, since I was a French major, and I am enough of a foodie to know many Romance language cognate words for food types and ingredients. I even know (by ear) some Hebrew food words I've picked up over the years, being Jewish. But I didn't go to Hebrew school, and my trip to Israel taught me that on-the-fly interpretation is not so easy if you can't read the script the words are written in!
On a related topic, I'm going to Turkey on vacation in two weeks, and I thank G-d and Ataturk that Turkey started using Western script during the 20th century. Turkish may not have a lot of cognates with Romance languages or English, but at least I can memorize a word so when I see it on signs or boxes, it rings a bell. There's no way I could have done this if they still used Arabic script!
I usually try to end my daily tea consumption before 7:00 PM. At that time I'm ready to unwind for the evening and come down from the energizing doses of caffeine supplied by my morning cups. However, tonight I had a craving for tea to accompany my pasta supper. Remembering that my Wissotzky gift chest contained some fruity caffeine-free varieties, I reached in and pulled out a bag of Blood Orange & Mandarin Scent. After steeping, the tea had a clean translucent orange/cherry color. I also enjoyed the tantalizing fruity aroma that emerged from my cup. This tea has an exquisite yet mellow citrus flavor. I don't seek out flowery tasting teas, but the hint of rosehips in this blend greatly enhances the flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed it with my meal. If you dim the lights in your dining room and use crystal goblets, this tea can be an integral component of any gourmet occasion.
In my opinion, this tea is not quite as advertised. I did not find this tea to have a very strong or full bodied flavor. The taste is pleasant but subdued. It reminded me of a watered down English Breakfast tea. This blend is also said to have a high caffeine content. Maybe I am being greedy, but I would like the high-octane caffeine to be accompanied by super-charged flavor. Several years ago, some companies produced and tested a silent vacuum cleaner. The machine did not do well in consumer testing because people associated great suction and cleaning power with a loud noise. This is how I feel about the Wissotzky Classic Tea. I want my high caffeine morning cup to be accompanied by a loud noise.
I'm a big fan of Earl Grey tea. The fruity bergamot flavor is a terrific complement to both black and green teas. This particular Earl Grey black tea by Wissotzky seems to be hiding both the tea and bergamot flavors under a bushel. I am doubtful that I would have pinpointed the presence of bergamot if I hadn't first read the list of ingredients on the package. It isn't just the low level of bergamot that is disappointing here. I also struggled to cull any identifiable tea flavor at all. The flavor that is present is not bad, there just isn't enough of it.
I am in the United States. I bought this tea through QVC.com (http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.M20301.desc.Wissotzky-Tea-Serving-Box-with-80-Assorted-Teas) as part of an 80-assorted-tea gift box. It was a great deal! In this day and age, if you can't find what you're looking for in your local store, chances are you can get it on-line. Thank you for your question. Happy sipping!
The flavor of most of the English Breakfast varieties I have tried and reviewed are nice and pleasant but normally nothing to get over-excited about. English Breakfast tea figures prominently in my morning lineup as the first cup of the day. This is my "business cup" because it provides a high caffeine shock to my metabolism that gets me charged up and motivated to start my daily task list. My "pleasure cup" of tea is always reserved for the second cup of the morning. That is the more delightful, fruity, and bold cup that I anxiously anticipate to chase down the usually standard tea taste of English Breakfast. However, all of that changed this morning when I sampled Wissotzky English Breakfast Tea for the first time. I knew something different was afoot when I saw the bright amber color that this tea possessed. With my first curious sip, I immediately noticed a purity to the flavor that I hadn't experienced with other English Breakfast formulas. Its bright robust quality sends the essence of great tea taste straight to your tastebuds. It is definitely English Breakfast tea flavor, but amplified to astounding heights. The best illustration I could make would be to compare this tea to the appearance of the Tin Man in The Wizard Of Oz after he was buffed, polished, and shined to meet the Wizard. He was still the Tin Man but he was now one cool and buff dude. After I finish all of the other English Breakfast teas in my stash, this Wissotzky tea will be my Numero Uno of this variety.
By now, you are beginning to surmise one thing about me based on my tea tasting notes: I am willing to try just about anything. I neither fear nor discriminate against any tea. This selection was another one of the flavors that came in my Wissotzky Tea gift box that was a surprise gift from me to me (I did try to act surprised but I saw through me immediately). The Nana Tea was another title that I greeted with skepticism. I wondered if this flavor was designed for sweet little grandmothers to sip from their rockers while knitting scarves and sweaters for the grandchildren. However, once again my first thoughts were far from the truth. This tea has a very light and refreshing spearmint flavor. For Southern teetotalers, it would be the perfect replacement for the mint julep. The Nana Tea is a tad too light and easy for my morning rotation. My first cups of the day need to jump-start me like a defibrillator. I will gladly call on this tea again in the afternoon or early evening, though, when I'm just looking for a nice refreshing break from my day.
This morning I was introduced to Wissotzky tea. I received eight flavors in a gift box that was a gift from me to me. For my first voyage, I chose the Cherry Tea. It is exactly as advertised, a bright rich flavor with the taste of fresh red cherries. This tea would also be great iced. There is no hint of bitterness whatsover. This selection would be enjoyable morning, noon, and night, hot or cold.

DH and I have been talking about this and can't figure out...
Why is there ANY lead in vitamins? Really. Is it a binder? A preservative? A coloring agent? A filler? An impossible to eliminate substance bound to another substance? Neither one of us can figure it out
Also, does anyone have a link to a list of lead-free prenatals and children's vits?

Wow Chritsy!!! Thanks for breaking it down, I never really thought about it that way before
|As to whether they could somehow remove it in processing, that is another question worth asking the companies I would say! Maybe now that it is public and if people start asking for it, the companies would work on it!

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Shoppers in Hungary will soon have a better convenience in bill paying thanks to the new and enhanced mobile payment service from Cellum Group and based on the IBM (NYSE:IBM) Flex System. Cellum is the largest provider of m-payment solutions in Hungary, with more than a million mobile payment transactions per month and significant growth in the total numbers of customers using their services.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )
Cellum Group offers m-payment solutions for any type of mobile phone and has one of the largest portfolios of user applications available. Services range from the re-charging of pre-paid mobile accounts, bill payment, e-commerce checkout, m-commerce for retail, and transfer of funds from one account to another. According to Jeff McAllister, SVP Sales for Cellum, twelve percent of Hungarian mobile subscribers currently use their cell phones at least twice a week to pay for services including; parking fees, highway tolls, and lottery tickets.
The number of consumers using mobile devices to visit retail sites and make purchases is a growing global trend, with recent statistics from IBM indicating just how digital shoppers are becoming. For example, during the recent "Black Friday" shopping period, mobile purchases soared with 24 percent of consumers using a mobile device to visit a retailer's site, up from 14.3 percent in 2011. Mobile sales exceeded 16 percent, up from 9.8 percent in 2011. [1]
"Service providers and retailers are starting to realize that new m-payment solutions can make shopping much more convenient given there are enough accepting points of sale and the payments are secure," said Balazs Inotay, Chief Strategy Officer of Cellum Global. "Mobile payments actually represent a new sales channel that combines payment, shopping and loyalty in the same package. Retailers can target customers and promote goods and services as the codes in the catalogues lead directly to the online shop."
To take advantage of this opportunity and be able to handle the increasing number of Hungarian mobile users demanding one-click payment applications from their cell phones, Cellum needed to upgrade its IT infrastructure. Working with Business Partner USER Rendszerhaz, IBM designed and implemented a system built on IBM Flex System.
"The IBM Flex System provides the security, flexibility and integration capabilities that will help Cellum Group introduce more efficient m-payment solutions while lowering payment processing costs," said Zsolt Veres, Country General Manager, IBM Hungary. "This system provides the infrastructure for Cellum to rapidly deliver additional m-payment applications and bring new mobile innovations to Hungarian consumers."
Cellum Group plans to launch its enhanced m-payment services for its subscribers in Hungary in January 2013, with similar services soon to be launched in Bulgaria, Albania and Austria.
The IBM Flex System goes beyond competitor's blade configurations and provides the building-block elements for IBM PureSystems. IBM Flex Systems are built-to-order offerings for clients who want to custom build and tune configurations to their specific requirements. This allows them to select the specific compute, systems networking and optional storage and management required to support their specific workloads.
The IBM PureSystems family offers clients an alternative to current enterprise computing models, where multiple and disparate systems require significant resources to set up and maintain. PureFlex System enables organizations to more efficiently create and manage an infrastructure.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Nominees want to start byelection race
The two nominees vying to fill the vacant seat for Morris in the provincial legislature are eager to start their official campaigns and are urging the governing NDP to start the race with a byelection call.
Jeremy Barber, Liberal candidate, along with party leader Jon Gerrard, would like to see the byelection held as soon as next month.
"The seat was vacated in February," said Progressive Conservative candidate Shannon Martin, adding that's well over the average 90-day period for calling a provincial by-election in Manitoba.
He said the NDP government first used the risk of spring flooding as an excuse for postponing the call, then they continued delaying because of farmers' spring seeding, summer vacationers, and, possibly in the fall months, because of harvesting.
"Is there ever a great time to call a byelection?" he asked.
He and Barber are requesting a province-wide referendum on the provincial sales tax increase, even as it's being implemented as of July 1.
"The citizens of Morris deserve representation in these discussions," said Barber, "and in response to other issues which include the amalgamation of municipalities and the continuing need for long-term solutions to flood control."
He added that the summer is an ideal time to campaign while attending the many seasonal events taking place within the constituency.
As of press time, no NDP candidate had been nominated to challenge Barber and Martin for the seat previously held by Mavis Taillieu of Headingley.

Haley Barbour: BP Oil Disaster Proves Free Market System Works
|By: Blue Texan Thursday July 1, 2010 10:30 am
The Republican governor of Mississippi, who previously said the BP oil disaster was being overblown by the liberal media, was asked by NPR if all of the damage and destruction and deaths have caused him to reconsider his "smaller government, less regulation, more freedom for industry" ideology.

Republicans Barbour, Bachmann Explain Principles for Holding BP Accountable
|By: Scarecrow Wednesday June 16, 2010 4:25 pm
The White House and BP are telling the media there is a tentative agreement to have BP contribute "about $20 billion" over time to an escrow account to pay economic damages claims for BP's oil disaster. I still think that's a good concept but as always, the details matter.
But the leading lights (aka dim bulbs) of the Republican Party can't seem to give up entirely on John Boehner's initial view that taxpayers should bail out BP, one of the world's largest TBTF corporations. Since the Obama Administration proposed the escrow mechanism, it's important for Republicans to uncover the evil purposes and consequences of the scheme to maintain their view that civilization as we know it is under siege from White House socialists, or fascists, or government takeover zealots.
Sunday Late Night: Sheriff Haley Barbour sez Criticism of Bob McDonnell a "nit" that "doesn't amount to diddly"

Fashion in Vogue
Il 20 marzo debutta Fashion in Vogue, l'applicazione del fashion magazine italiano per antonomasia. Obiettivo è quello di aprire una nuova dimensione di esplorazione della moda.
Un semplice tap sulla cover page della app consente di passare in rassegna le 4 cover di sezione.
La prima è direttamente connessa al canale vogue.it/trends e ai suoi contenuti. All'interno, le galleries dedicate al 'Trend del giorno', alle tendenze di 'Ieri e oggi e quelle di 'Vogue mania' e 'Voguistas', che raccontano la comune passione di celebrities e non per la moda, o catturano lo street style più creativo. Disponibili anche il focus 'Accessori' e i consigli proposti da 'How to', per riproporre i look delle celebs, o ancora quelli dispensati in '+ glam – cash' per comporre stilish look con un occhio al portafogli.
La seconda sezione, Shows, è dedicata ai look di tutte le maggiori catwalks della stagione in corso e di quelle precedenti, fino al 2002. Se disponibili, oltre alla foto e ai dettagli della collezioni, sono mostrati anche contenuti correlati quali people e review, tutti condivisibili sui principali social network e inseribili nei preferiti dell'app.
Concepita per vivere l'intensità delle passerelle dei più grandi brand è la terza sezione dell'app, Live, che presenta gli streaming delle sfilate. A partire da quelli della FW13-14, i video saranno organizzati cronologicamente in un archivio in progress, disponibile a una libera consultazione.
La quarta sezione, Weather, è invece una utility che suggerisce outfit e accessori adatti al clima del giorno. L'utente, scelta la città da un menù e interagendo con la parte inferiore della schermata 'come posso vestirmi oggi', visualizza una selezione di prodotti adatti alle condizioni meteo, per un look sempre perfetto.
I più fedeli all'applicazione saranno premiati attraverso il progressivo sblocco di badge che potranno essere collezionati e condivisi, così come tutti i contenuti dell'applicazione, tramite i social network più diffusi.
L'applicazione è ottimizzata per Samsung Smartphone.

Mirthful indie poppers The Nobility are back! They'll be releasing a brand-new record called The Secret of Blennerhassett Island come Oct. 11, and they've got a video for their lead-off single, "Best Day of My Life." See said fresh vid (shot and edited by Brian Wilson) above.
Last time we talked about a Nobility music video, I alluded to the fact that it reminded me just a little bit of filmmaker Wes Anderson. What about this go-round? Hmmm ... black-and-white, with art-house beatniks aplenty, a cigarette-smoking, blasé-looking Abe Lincoln, a bit of hand-jiving and a wonderfully muppet-like vocal refrain? There's at least a little taste of Woody Allen in there somewhere. Anyway, The Nobility keeps it lithe and mirthful, and for that they score cool points. Keep it up, Nobe Bros!

low groundcover for between stepping stones??
i love mazus reptans, but i would like to pick something native. here are my conditions, i hope you might have some suggestions!!
- northeast (new york)
- part shade (about 3-4 hours morning sun)
- average moisture
i want something that will spread between the stones but not too aggressively. bloom color doesn't matter. i prefer summer blooms but other times are fine as well as long as it keeps a nice foliage.
thanks!! (this is cross-posted from native forum)
I just planted Mentha Requienii around some stepping stones - a very low growing mint that doesn't seem too invasive. Its maybe a half inch tall and has leaves even smaller than Baby's Tears. Has lavender flowers in summer. The root system is not much bigger than the plant above ground so it pulls up easily. But I like Ajuga very much - what a trouble free plant. The bronze and purple leaved varieties really set off the colors of the plants above them. Other people I know grow various thymes and they are beautiful. I also like some of the smaller sedums but they aren't going to take foot traffic.

The Surprising Monday Night Dinner
Kitchen Diaries: Kate in New York City
Why I Felt Like a Hero in the Kitchen This Week
Kitchen Diary: Anne in South Carolina
In a continued effort to save money, I am still dumpster diving for food in my own fridge and pantry. The other day, I found a jar of sauerkraut. I have no idea where it came from, or why I might have bought it. I like sauerkraut, but it isn't the sort of thing I usually buy, thinking, "Well, we definitely need this!" I mean, it's not a staple, like grits. We're Southern, not Midwestern or German. But the jar wasn't expired, so I hatched a plan. A further search of the freezer yielded a package of bratwurst. It was on!
The One Ingredient That Is Always in My Kitchen
Kitchen Diaries: Kate in New York City
In Which I Dumpster Dive in My Own Fridge Again
Kitchen Diary: Anne in South Carolina
Saving money is the name of the game around here these days. With college looming and some travel plans on the horizon, I cut corners where I can. Though I'm kicking myself for this now, we raised our kids to be "good eaters," which has translated into "kids with expensive culinary tastes."
But good, healthy food can happen on a budget, especially if you use what you have on hand instead of going to the store. The other night, I came up with French onion and kale soup, topped with Brie crouton. 'Cause why not?
What Are the Best Snacks to Cure a Hangry Home Cook?
Kitchen Diaries: Kate in New York City
It's Wednesday evening. There's no food in the house and there you are wandering through the post-work grocery rush hour like a salmon headed upstream. The idea of stringing together a dinner seems impossible, and pretty soon you find yourself angrily eating a bag of pita chips you hadn't even intended to eat. We've all been there: Yep, you're hangry.
Hosting a Meeting? Try My 70s-Style Menu
Kitchen Diary: Anne in South Carolina
The other night, I hosted a small meeting at my house, a group of ladies who were coming over to talk about auction acquisitions for my son's school. You know what makes a meeting more fun? Food and wine. I didn't have a lot of time, so I decided to channel my mother and whip up a few easy 70s-style appetizers. Besides, I was really craving bacon wrapped water chestnuts.
Why Hand-Me-Down Cookbooks Are the Best Gift
Kitchen Diaries: Kate in New York City
In Which I Give Up and Get a New Dishwasher
Kitchen Diary: Anne in South Carolina
I woke up and knew my day was not great before my feet hit the floor. I was out of coffee, I hadn't slept well (thanks to my new obsession with Criminal Minds on Netflix), and several little things were irritating the living daylights out of me. One of those things was our dishwasher. After several repairs, it's been particularly awful, incapable of meeting the most basic responsibility of a dishwasher, namely, cleaning dishes.
Hrmph. I decided to fix it myself, and it cut my finger. Still in pajamas, holding my hand over my head and searching for a bandage and feeling sorry for myself, I knew it was over. So I went shopping.
Why I'm Just Now Learning to Cook My Favorite Dishes
Kitchen Diaries: Kate in New York City
Say you're stuck on a desert island for the rest of your life and there's only one restaurant. It's a really good restaurant, but you'll have to eat one cuisine for the rest of your life. What would it be? For me, the answer has always been something Asian – typically Thai, Korean or Indian. Here's the funny thing about that answer: I rarely cook any of those styles of food ever.
How I Made Three Meals and Hosted a Dinner Party with "Nothing to Eat"
Kitchen Diary: Anne in South Carolina
Do you ever look into your fridge and think, "There's nothing to eat. Better go to the store?" Because I do that occasionally. Reality check: There's plenty of food in my fridge, freezer, and pantry. All I have to do is put it together. The other day, short on time and cash, I pulled out the slow cooker and made dinner, without buying a single thing. Here's what I did.

Article on 'clink's' cut flower business
I had a pleasant surprise last night reading a rural weekly newspaper, Iowa Farmer Today. In it was an article entitled "Flower power; Blossoms attractive, tasty." The article discussed using fresh flowers for beauty in our homes, as well as in foods. The person interviewed was "our" Cathy, whose screen name here is "clink," and whose cut-flower farm is Miss Effie's Country Flowers and Garden Stuff. There were photos of lilies in front of an out building, pansies garnishing a plate of pansy bread, and Cathy holding a hen. Recipes included were for the Pansy Bread, Calendula Muffins, and Lavender Drop Cookies.
It was good to see some publicity on her business and her philosophy. Way to go, Cathy!
Jansblooms, thanks for posting the article, it was a great to read about a flower farmer from this group.
Cathy, you really are an inspiration with the risk you took starting something completely new to you and being so successful at it - I love your philosophy that everyone deserves fresh flowers - and I can't wait to try your recipes.
Jan -- You are so sweet! I think often of sitting and talking with you and Marc. What an enjoyable afternoon.
The interview came out of the blue -- the author found me on Local Harvest. Great place to put your listings. Less than two days later -- the interview was done. So it was all at the spur of the moment -- garden was clean (but not the house!)
We will tape our very first tv commercial tomorrow. And this week we were also published in the Radish -- a local magazine devoted to fresh foods, gardening and healthy lifestyle. So it is an action-filled but exciting week here in Iowa.
About the recipes --- I am not really a fan of edible flowers. They do make an "interesting" recipe. The calendula muffins are good -- the pansy bread has a "pound cake" like taste. But I think the addition of chocolate or nuts or lemon would do a lot!! LOL!
But doing the article -- got me in the magazine and publicity and marketing is the life-blood of the self-employed. And fortunately, the degree in Home Ec paid off!!!
But if you are serving a garden club or tea -- it is fun.
Thank you so much for thinking of us.
Pick Your Own is a free site to list your farm if you have you pick - the link is below.
Here is a link that might be useful: Pick Your Own
Linda -- I have a listing on that site too! Got to try to be every where.
We are located on the east coast of Iowa --- just 8 miles from the Mississippi. Just north of Davenport.
For those of you that wonder at times if it is worth it --- it is. I wanted to throw in the towel many times. But I LOVE what I do....... and I love the people that I meet. (I'm not crazy about the weeds!)
I sent copies of the article to other media outlets........now we are talking to a tv show about a segment.
Thanks everyone for your kind words.

Twins lose final game of series with Marlins
Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Placido Polanco and Jeff Mathis each hit two-run homers to help lift the Miami Marlins over the Minnesota Twins, 5-3, to complete a two-game sweep at Marlins Park.
The homers were the first of the season for both Mathis and Polanco, with Polanco finishing 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Giancarlo Stanton added the other RBI for the Marlins.
Kevin Slowey (3-7) pitched three scoreless innings in relief to earn the win, scattering just four hits.

Leon Panetta Won't Talk with Israel About Military Action Against Iran
(WASHINGTON) -- Mitt Romney's recent visit to Israel spurred talk about the Israelis possibly launching a military strike against Iran in the near future to knock out its nuclear program.
However, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta insisted before his stopover in the Holy Land on Tuesday that there would be no discussion on that topic while meeting with his counterpart, Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
Before departing from Egypt to Israel, Panetta told reporters, "I think it's the wrong characterization to say we are going to be discussing potential attack plans. What we are discussing are various contingencies and how we would respond."
The Obama administration says that while it respects Israel's right to defend itself, all diplomatic channels should be exhausted before making the decision to use military might to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who says that sanctions against Iran have failed to convince Tehran to freeze its nuclear program, contends publicly that no decision has been made yet about using the military option.

There are many things in which to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving day. Forgiveness is an important component of what we should be thankful for. The unearned and undeserved forgiveness we have received from the Lord, the forgiveness we give to those who perhaps have wronged us, and ultimatly the self-forgiveness in which God has restored us. In the book of 1 Chronicles we may notice that the sins of David are no longer mentioned, as God has completely forgiven him and restored him into fellowship.
I hope any pray that you have a great holiday today, as perhaps you spend this day with family and friends. As for me, I shall be on the road, away from my family. I ask God to show me if there are any persons I encounter today who are lost and hurting, or even just lonely that I may extend His lovingkindness to that person.
God Bless You!
