that is one heck of a shed. if you decide not to use it for figs, i could move in. :cool: i'm constantly trying to grow herbs thru the winter but i can't seem to keep them very long. nothing like fresh parsley in february.

this is a short follow up on the now 'world famous' roasted acorn squash cream soup. having several extra acorns lying around i needed to try something and this is what i did: first, as with the last batch, i roasted the little beauties (refer to previous post for my indoor roasting technique)...

mary, i couldn't agree more! i've got recipes all over the place. almost everywhere except the computer! torn out of old books, typewritten, handwritten. good luck with the soup. i'm serious, i've had neighbors knocking on my door with little bowls in their hands... :ep

@journey11, i have your quote posted on my office door. i keep it there as a simple way for folks to make really sure they want to come in and disturb me!

thanks. i've been thinking of growing some of this myself. perhaps i'll give it a try

'went shopping in my kitchen..' hah,hah. you've reminded me of when our son left home. 'take what you need' says i. i should not have spoken so loudly. two of his friends heard and thought they were included in the offer! it took me months to recover. :)

vancouver island? i think i'm jealous. i've been to visit a couple of times and just loved it. i should tell you that my grandmother taught me to cook on a wood burning stove in ontario canada, so i don't do recipes very well. also, i'm gonna assume you cook as good as you write, so i didn't go...

i'm gonna jump in here just cuz. this being my first post, i'll keep it kinda short. just thought i'd share that i recently roasted acorn squash and made cream squash soup and now i've got to keep cooking it for the whole street! i definitely need to add some squash to my garden.
