For those cold nights when you need something warm in your stomach, but you don't quite feel like cooking a big dinner - how about crock pot cocktails?

I am roasting some slices of blue pumpkin (from the garden) with onion and garlic chunks.

bailey, this is a bit ironic. I know the song as, "Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey."

On the other hand, I once again failed to get any artichokes to flower. Oh, well… They have to have a certain number of hours (150?) below 50 degrees F to flower. I've been growing them for about 5 year now and a few "replacement" plants didn't get enough cool time so didn't flower, but m...

I have trapped 60+ squirrels over the years in a live trap, a small two-door Havahart trap. IDK about rats, but squirrels love peanuts in the shell. Some squirrels are smarter than others. For the really smart ones, I have to “glue” some of the peanuts to the trigger plate using peanut butter. That ...

WMW – this looks like a helpful article.

You can use garlic from the store, as long as it has not been sprayed to prevent sprouting.

I have mixed feeling on this question. Having food-related threads in a separate forum would keep them organized and theoretically easier to find. But, I think the UDBB had too many forums and the Kitchen Forum got less traffic than it might have otherwise. IDK, maybe people got tired of the extra c...

My gardens did well this summer (western Colorado), in spite of a weird, cool and wet spring followed by bursts of heat in June, the coolest July on record, warm dry spells in August – you get the picture! Most of my perennial flowers did great; so did the vegies. Sweet peppers and green chiles were...

Hugs and jingles for your dad, stepmother, you and your extended family. It is so hard to be far away from parents when they are ailing.

Yesterday I made a big pot of minestrone soup to use up some of the tomatoes, zucchini, and kale from the garden. I had some girlfriends over for a potluck dinner and movie night, while DH is out of town. The soup was great, and we had a wonderful time (although we all agreed we were a bit unwise to...

Yay - I'm glad you finally found a doc who would listen and also a fixable diagnosis.

Onward and upward!

Thanks, Don Giovani! Authentic or not, it sounds great.

I'm adding a few items to my shopping list.

Don Giovanni wrote: I had seen a recipe online for 1 pot Pad Thai and made that.

Would you please share the recipe or the link? I need to expand my collection of Thai recipes!

Another thought - contact Kitty B at www.germantack.com and see if she could suggest a Petrie boot that would work. I know you can customize Petries in many ways.

She is in Germany, but I remember people being pretty happy with her service.

Does your dream have an upper price limit?

You could go to a dealer for Dehner Boots and get measured for a custom dress or polo boot; both are available in brown. It sounds like they do a tracing of your feet as part of the customization.

PaulaO - for a quick dinner, I stir fry chopped onion, garlic, and whatever green vegies I have on hand (zucchini, green peppers, green beans). Maybe add some chopped tomatoes towards the end, then the thawed, peeled shrimp and cook long enough to heat them up. Add a splash of sherry, soy, bottled s...

Canyon

Oh, no - I'm sorry that your shareboard did not work out. I hope you find another soon where the horse AND owner are a perfect match. Horses are so good for our souls.

And quit smoking; do something healthy like eating a bunch of red meat!

I'm so sorry, Chisamba, that her condition deteriorated so quickly.

It sounds like she had a very good life with you. And you were there for her in the end.

A local outfit that remodels bathrooms advertises walk-in bath tubs. Some models come with jets; I wonder if something like that would be a good compromise?

I would prefer not to waste that amount of water; I'd rather have a hot tub outside!

My WB used to stay fat all winter on grass hay. He is 26 now and not such an air fern anymore. Last winter I started adding a hefty flake of alfalfa with his pm feeding, and that was enough to keep him in good flesh. I need to go pick up his mini-stack of alfalfa soon!

I'm glad your daughter is doing well on her adventure.

Wow, $4000! I wonder if she could buy an extra airline seat and fly the crocodile that way

What shipper did CDC use to get all their supplies into Sierra Leone?

When I make pizza dough with flour, I use the dough cycle on my bread machine. The result is pretty good. This summer I've been making a crust with a shredded zucchini base, in an effort to use up the abundance of squash. I would never mistake it for a "normal" pizza, but it is a good vehi...

OMGosh, silk! I'm glad the mare's aim was off a bit!

I'm sending boatloads of express jingles your way for quick healing.

Umm, silk, I do hope this is only a costume!

It sounds like she took very good care of your students. I am glad she has someone as kind and wise as you are, to take care of her now. Hugs to both of you.

I've copied this "recipe" last week and have yet to try it. Let me know if you try it and it works! MAGIC CLEANER Ingredients: 2 oz. Dawn, 4 oz. bottled Lemon Juice, 8 oz. White Vinegar, 10 oz. Water. The secret is to spray on surface, let sit overnight (or longer) and then wipe with clean...

Wow, Moutaineer - close encounter of the Moose kind! Maybe he was hanging around, waiting for instructions on how to help you pick manure in the horse pens. Moose have been re-introduced to the mountains near me; they are doing quite well. I have yet to see any, but would love to (from a distance). ...

Have you tried any Kent & Masters saddles? Maybe the cob model? I’ve heard good things about them, reportedly good quality for the price. I believe there are US saddlers that carry them and offer a trial.

Canyon

I don't know what you consider to be a reasonable price. Pelham Saddlery has a GG that might work for $1495.

Well, you could always wear one of your fab driving outfits, borrow a mini horse cart, and have your DH supply the horse power.

Thanks, I will PM you when my visit to Paris has moved from sloshing around on the bucket list, to something more in the planning stages.

Canyon

Yay! Thank you, Chancellor, for chipping away at our requests.

FWIW, I had to delete my browsing history to get it to show up; rebooting was not enough.

How about Rosita - Spanish for little rose (also a ghost town in Colorado).

I would love to hear more about your trip. Some day, I shall visit Paris.

Yes, these cooler days will get them going! My ancient WB even throws in a "yippee" move occasionally when I turn my two out in the morning. I second Moutaineer's suggestion to try lunging. I've been lunging my youngster over cavallitti to strengthen his HQs; I can tell pretty quickly how ...

I'm sorry, chantal. Death and funeral and everyone is frazzled. Hugs... My parents had some dear friends who were always late to parties.

Last night I made a big pot of chili con carne to use up some of the oversupply of my garden tomatoes, jalapenos and green chiles. It is tasty!

I think I remember someone on UDBB saying they used a food processor to grind up oatmeal to make an oat flour, and they fed that with good results. Unfortunately, I can't verify that for you now.

I like to cook (and eat!), sew, hike, scuba dive (a great excuse to go somewhere warm in the winter), and garden. I am so happy when the seed catalogs start arriving in the winter; I love to try out a few new things every year. This year, designer pumpkins have been a big hit.
