We live in town, so not much room for anything, corn especially....we gave that up after the second year.  We are going to try it in a border, between the garage and sidewalk, about 2x25. 




It should work in a small space.

I gave up on gardening after one year of trying here in Nevada. Not enough water, the wrong soil and too many jack rabbits that eat everything, including my drip lines.


Tonight for dinner:

I made spaghetti. I used Barilla whole wheat thin spaghetti and mixed in a can of cream of mushroom soup with my spaghetti sauce to give it a unique creaminess. I added finely crumbled mild Italian sausage and chopped onion, spices and it turned out very good. My mother has not been feeling well today so I delivered a plate to her front door, complete with toasted garlic bread. She sent me a text message that she liked it, she would of let me know if she didn't.  :-) :-) :-)

My mom slipped and fell Tuesday in the middle of the night and is now unsure of her self. She simply tripped over a fan when getting up in the middle of the night to use the restroom. She is pretty sore and upset with herself. She banged up her face and knee pretty bad. Part of her body landed on her night stand. She would not let me take her to the doctor, she would go if she thought she needed to.

I have a ton of studying to do with my DVR'd Sleepy Hollow in the background. Can't decide if I want takeout for ease or to make eggplant with pasta. I'll probably go the easy route since once I throw a workout in, I'll be pressed for time and well i'd rather cut the cooking instead of anything else in the plan :-)

Kids are with dad and daughter is staying the night with best friend so party with my homework. :p

Taco soup for the last couple of days. It's always better after a day or two of marinating, just like a good chili.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Just put a Paula Deen apple cake into the oven - with a few changes - no coconut, more - pecans, apples, cinnamon & vanilla, added some ground clove. And substituted have the oil for melted butter.  :-) It bakes in a tube pan and is very heavy. Bakes about 90 minutes, then pour over the hot cake, a boiled mixture of buttermilk, butter, baking soda and sugar. It will either be terrific or yucky...  :whistling:

Can't decide between linguine and white clam sauce or shrimp scampi for dinner. Have all the stuff to do either one. Will add a Ceasar salad and Texas garlic toast....

I'm in the mood to cook today!  :yahoo:

 :racist:


I don't care  :tongue:

Let me tell you how incredibly good that cake is!!! I couldn't wait until after dinner to try it, so after it came out of the pan, still warm, sliced off a piece, added whipped cream on the side and went out on the porch to split it with M. He agreed that it was incredible!

Ended up making linguine and white clam sauce. T's girlfriend doesn't like clams ( or any seafood  :thatsright: ) so I made a quickie alfredo for her linguine. I'm such a good mom...  :whistling:

Why do you think that is?  Seafood is one of my favorites.  I can't imagine why people don't like it.
