Thanks Sid. I figure if wine can be made from potatoes, winter squash isn't too far a stretch.

Hi again Jim - I have communicated with a gardener, who posted in this forum 2 years ago, his style of over-wintering using PVC tubing as frame & mill-felt. I couldn't help but think of how neat & wonderful looking it was, the foundation beds all around his home. With all the Hydrangeas you have to protect & your plans to use tarp on the group of 3, you might like to create your cage w/ PVC tubing, corner joints & wire pins to hold them down ... very easy to create, he said & easy to store as well (plant will be protected but not suffocated) ... a few gardeners would find his system truly great ... neither he nor I knew how to post pix at that time ... just Emailed me 10 step-by-step pix directly!!! Â;) If my collection of marginal bloomers, were not so scattered around, I wouldn't hesitate to copy his system. I think using tarp would be no different than using shower curtain as wind-breaker ... a gardener from Michigan used successfully! Be sure to check back with your results in Spring, OK?

That book has been around forever. It would be fine if we all had the same skin and reactions but we don't. I find what works for me through trial and error but it may not be what works for someone else. I personally cannot use some product brands. I'm allergic to some that are supposedly hypoallergenic and not to others. Cannot stand certain fragrances. The hylexin was the subject of a TV story just the other night with another product created by a dermatologist that supposedly resurfaces hands on mature skin. If it works on you go with it. If not, return it and tell them you're allergic as many places will refund you in that case. But overall, anything sold o-t-c (drugstore or dept store) will not have the same result as something prescribed by cosmetic dermatologists. And nothing truly removes bags under the eyes execept, well, you know.

Since I like Cap'n Crunch as a cereal, when I saw it on the menu at a local resturant I decided to try it. It was good.... certainly not gourmet but I actually liked it. So I looked for a recipe and used this one: Planet Hollywood Cap'n Crunch Chicken Recipe By : magazine Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Chicken Planet Hollywood Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 cups Cap'n Crunch cereal 1 1/2 cups Corn flakes 1 egg 1 cup milk 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 2 pounds chicken breast -- cut in 1oz. tenders vegetable oil -- for frying Creole mustard sauce -- (separate recipe) Coarsely grind or crush the Cap'n Crunch and cornflakes. Set aside. Beat the egg with the milk. Set aside. Stir together the flour, onion and garlic powders and black pepper. Set aside. Dip the chicken pieces into the seasoned flour. Move around to coat well, then shake off excess flour. Dip into the egg wash, coating well, then dip into the Cap'n Crunch/Cornflakes mixture, coating well. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet to 325°F. Drop coated chicken tenders carefully into the hot oil and cook until golden brown and fully cooked: 3 to 5 minutes depending on the size of the tenders. Drain and serve immediately with Creole mustard sauce. Makes 8 servings. I've also baked it and that turned out good too, for that I used larger pieces of chicken. Nancy
