Please tell me about Ruth's German Rose
Comments (9)Ruth does not post here, but she has written quite a lot, especially about Noisettes. The Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Heritage Roses, wich was held in Charleston several years ago, contains some articles by her, and it is available from the Heritage Rose Foundation. Also, the Charleston Horticultural Society's new book on the history of the Noisette class of roses is just newly out. As soon as the supply arrives, the HRF will be selling it as well. That book is dedicated to Ruth, and contains a couple chapters by her. Here is a link that might be useful: The Heritage Rose Foundation Web Site...See MoreGerman above ground sweet potato recipes
Comments (24)You know, I think our traditional Thanksgiving meal is about as close as we get to indigenous food, right? The wild turkeys were here when the first Puritans arrived. The native Americans were raising corn and squash and beans, I think, and sunflowers as well, which was a major vegetable protein source for them via the seeds which are easy to preserve. Cranberries are native in some parts of the country, and so is wild rice. So, all those ingredients are more or less indigenous American foods. Maybe one problem is that our nation is so large geographicaly, so we do have more regionalized "America food" depending on what foods are readily available in each region instead of a well-known "American" cuisine. For example, if you grew up in Boston, you might argue that lobster and Boston baked beans are true American cuisine, but if you grew up in Georgia or South Carolina, maybe you'd insist it was barbeque, baked beans, cornbread and grits. I was thinking about what kind of native food a forager would find growing naturally here in Oklahoma....there's wild game, of course, and wild blackberries and wild grapes here in southern OK, and some of you probably have wild huckleberries or currants in some eastern parts of the state that we don't have here. Here in southern OK, we have the wild prickley pears (you can make jelly from them) and native pecans and walnuts, and persimmons. There's also several kinds of wild plums, and you can fish in the Red River for catfish. Dorothy, I think I am going to grow peanuts next year so we can make our own peanut butter without all the additives. I remember having a Mr. Peanut machine when I was a little kid....you put the peanuts in his hat and turned the handle and got peanut butter (a peanut paste probably would be a better description). It was simple, so it seems like it'd be simple to make homemade peanut butter in the food processor or blender. Carol, I love all those old Southern Living recipe books...they are my kind of cooking! Another great cookbook full of old-style southern cooking is Fannie Flagg's Original Whistle Stop Cafe Cookbook, which came out at about the same time that her book, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, was made into the movie of the same name. If my grandmother and southern aunts had written a cookbook of the foods they prepared their entire lives, it would have been very, very similar to Fannie Flagg's cookbook.

Comments (22)Rhizo, I realize they have no further stage of morphing or what ever you might call it, but I do believe that smaller one is a young one. I know it's hard to see why I believe that in these pics, but I'm almost certain it is. They must hibernate or something and possibly molt in places where you don't normally find the shells. I don't know this for a fact as I've said before I'm no expert. I have occasionally seen the bigger ones flying around the light with the small ones. I think the big one I recently posted is probably going to die soon, I usually find them dead when they are about that size. The pic where it's about to take off shows a wing from beneath the top set of wings. When in flight they have what appears to be two sets of wings flapping and they don't seem to be very graceful in flight....See MoreVintage German Chandelier - Any information
Comments (14)wow, so cool! And there are many many people into that mid century style that would love to have it, it would be awesome with that danish style or 50's look. But, it would work any with any decor after that as well, up to today! Even better tht you got it at such a great price. I love that feeling, when you find something awesome for a steal! It doesn't happen as much today, vintage is now the "in" thing and sellers are much more knowledgable. With computers, it is so easy to find out what you have....See Moreglaserberl
