http://mothergirth.blogspot.com/2013/02/kids-hate-vegetables-for-wrong-reasons.html
Smile it makes you look younger. Monday, February 18, 2013. Kids hate vegetables for the wrong reasons. My ten year old has explained to me in her words the reason kids do not like vegetables. She insists the majority of kids she knows is being raised on a diet rich in artificially flavored fast food meat and sugar laden snacks that come from a box. Once they taste and sometimes just smell real vegetables they immediately demonstrate disdain using words like blech and gross with extra syllables. Getting ...

Smile it makes you look younger. Tuesday, March 1, 2011. The spring thaw seems to be coming and going and coming back and then going. Needless to say…we’ve got some mud out there. With mud season upon us it is easy to jump the gun and want to get the garden ready for planting cool weather crops. There are several that can be planted as soon as the ground can be worked. Soil can only take in and hold certain amounts of water. Recent snowmelt and heavy rains have saturated my garden, yard, driveway and...

Smile it makes you look younger. Wednesday, December 22, 2010. Francesca wore her Jolly Roger gloves to school yesterday. She was told to turn them inside out because her teacher deemed them inappropriate. I fail to see how the gloves are inappropriate. Is it me? Am I missing something?

Smile it makes you look younger. Friday, July 30, 2010. They have finally arrived. Here's a column from a few weeks ago. 8220;Ain’t nothin’ in the world that I like better. Than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes. Up in the mornin’ out in the garden. Get you a ripe one don’t get a hard one. Plant `em in the spring eat `em in the summer. All winter without `em’s a culinary bummer. I forget all about the sweatin’ and diggin’. Every time I go out and pick me a big one. Eat `em with beans, pinto or navy.

Smile it makes you look younger. Monday, January 7, 2013. It is never too early to plan a new garden. With a new year come plans for a new garden. The chance to begin again is reassuring because as we resolve to be healthier, happier or both we can also seek to avoid the mistakes made in last year’s garden that resulted in too few tomatoes, too many weeds and not enough time to fix either one of them. Solutions might be as simple as correcting soil pH or watering more often at the correct time of day....

Smile it makes you look younger. Monday, July 4, 2011. Many of you asked for my refrigerator pickle recipe. Despite my pension for being a fly-off-the handle, vicious liberal with extremist tendencies.I still like to share. This is a super-easy, basic recipe that can be adapted in many ways. Get creative and add whatever you like to flavor your cukes. 1 1/2 c water. 1 1/2 c cider vinegar (no need to get fancy.the cheapest vinegar will give you the best flavor). 1 small onion, sliced thinly. Put the lid o...
