Actually it was 'The Woman' who mentioned it, and the Miss Maggie Mae concurred.

Does Maggie like stuffed bell peppers?

Sorry, raw sweet peppers are good, once cooked they smell BAD and taste that way too. At least to MY mouth. I do, however, really like cilantro and there are people who think it tastes like soap. I can understand them not wanting to eat it (but I also have to wonder what they were saying as kids that they even know what soap tastes like )

Honestly I do as well but I don’t even want to clean house. It’s a battle with the kids and I’m over it.

That's exactly how I feel about schoolwork right now.

I am! I’m trying to finger crochet a Christmas tree garland. It is a challlenge I didn’t have to babysit after all and I lost my ambition to bake.

I totally get the battle with kids.

I have never crocheted. I’m going to do 3-4 short ones. This is 8.5 feet. It looks like an amateur made it Maybe the next will be better. If I lived in town I would have gotten one from my sister. She has hooks like I have cookie cutters.

You've been quite productive! What are you making?

There's a new interview to check out if anyone is interested: BYC Member Interview - CHlCKEN

She has a lot of good photos. And I have finally figured out how to type her name!
Capital CH, lower case L, and the rest in caps. CHlCKEN

Now that I've learned something new, I should quit for the day while I'm ahead.

Looking forward to reading!

Hi Mad! It’s supposed to be Christmas tree garland. It looks nothing like the pattern I saw. I had leftover yarn from this tree skirt my sister just made for me so I was trying to put it to good use. I have to sew the buttons on the skirt yet.

 

[DigMyChicks]

Someone has to do it!!


So you are going to work until the pine box grabs you? Never retire?


One man's opinion


Thus her name is pronounced Chillken!

I’ll retire, just not yet! The pine box may grab me before I retire

Good morning Janie I had to look up catawba worms...did your gramps use them for fish bait?

Yes, he did. We picked them off the trees for him. The catawba trees are beautiful. We have a couple of old ones here.

You are so talented!

When I told my kids about picking the catawba worms off the trees and using them for fishing bait, they didn't believe me. In Colorado we have the trees but we don't get the worms.

Cilantro, is called coriander here. It's delicious in all sorts if recipes.
