Gardening with an Earthbox – My 10 Years of Experience

Is the Middleborough Town Hall Haunted?

Interesting. Not everyone who experiences these all too common phenomena is either deluded or lying.

Small Plates Dining: The Pros and Cons

You make me want to travel to Italy again. I see so much good stuff on both travel and food channels, and then I read about it here and there, and it sounds amazing. So they too eat late, huh? Yes, small portions at night would be great.

What is Mise En Place?

I often lay out the ingredients like that, especially when I chop vegetables. I will not use clean dishes for spices, but will get them all out too. I love to photograph recipes with all the ingredients on the table.

I have a few garden store planters that I use, but I much prefer using old kitchen pots, shoes, tires and other old items. It brings color and interest, and like you say, make a garden unique!

Big Cat Sanctuary of Bridgeport, Texas | Center for Animal Research and Education

It is a wonderful place to visit. The staff are so caring, and it's obvious they take good care of their "cats". I am grateful that so many people in my community support this organization!

I think a good alternative would be coconut oil. I've never tried the cocoa butter. Try it out and then come back and let us know how it worked!

Hi, I'm not sure I can find Shea Butter here (it would not be easy anyway) but it is very easy to find for instance cocoa butter. Do you think it will work? Can you recommend something else ...
