I bought a strawberry plant, the kind that is in a bag, in a box. My raspberry plant and blueberry plant came with a stem sticking out the top of the bag. The strawberry did not. When I opened it, I found it roots up, plant down, and the green part of it was rotted. Is it still salvageable? If I...

That's a good idea. You might also get a copy of the Velveteen Rabbit for her in case she worries about it getting worn out.

I made my husband and I chair covers for our desk chairs today too. Mine is really ratty, but still rolls good. My husband's is brand new, and he wants to keep it nice. A chair cover for each solved both problems! My first time making my own pattern too.

All my peppers are up! Now that I know the trick, they sprout pretty promptly for me. My future tea garden is also up.

Oh Baymule, I cried so many tears over that lamb. I feel so sorry for your DGD#2. I hope the lamb provides her some comfort.

Thank you @Phaedra !! It worked! The cake part was very obedient this time! It did not collapse. It was relatively easy to roll, unroll and roll again. I'm so excited!

Aww, there was a couple tears in my eye looking at that lamb! Hope she likes it.

I know!! My husband was asking me what I was going to do to try and fix the cake roll, so I told him about @Phaedra and how much she's been helping me. I'm excited to try again and maybe have a beautiful cake roll to share!

Oh, this brings back memories! My mom had one! Maybe if I do this regularly I'll get one too.

Thank you for the tips! The recipe I was using mentioned the dangers of yolk in the white also, so I had a three bowl system. I didn't break any yolks though--this time!

Thank you so much! Looking at your egg whites, I don't think I beat mine enough. The instructions I had said to beat them until medium peaks formed, and that I'd know because they would make a peak, but then fall over half way. Since I'd never done it before I didn't have a visual reference of...

Well...chiffon cake did not go so well. It baked up very nicely in the oven, but during the cooling phase it seemed to deflate a little. Not enough to be a problem, but definitely noticeable. More problematically, it stuck to the parchment paper and broke apart in my efforts to get it off. My...

Let us know you're safe as soon as you can @baymule!

Phaedra, thank you so much for sharing these!! I am going to try and make a lemon roll cake, using a chiffon style cake. If rolling is successful, I'll try that rainbow cake again. I'm so grateful to you for sharing your baking. It's really helping me learn!

Got the ingredients for an experimental chiffon cake! I don't know when I'll find time to bake it, but hopefully this week. Got all my cold weather crops that need to be started indoors planted, and potted up some tomatoes!

This makes so much sense why it didn't work now. Thank you! I may try a regular chiffon cake just to see if I can do it and then go from there.

Oh my goodness! You know how to make cake rolls! I tried to make my daughter a rainbow cake roll, I don't believe it was this recipe, but something like this: https://www.dessertnowdinnerlater.com/rainbow-cake-roll/ I tried to bake it three separate times and no matter what I tried, the cake...

It looks so neat and tidy! You do a great job with your plants.

I have no idea! My mother-in-law showered me with gifts this Christmas, and one of them was a giant stack of these! I suspect they're a bulk buy off of Amazon. She gave me a really nice pepper dome last year (as a just because gift) and I took such a shine to them, she bought me about 50 for...

The garden is really coming along! My tomatoes almost entirely sprouted, and are just getting their true leaves. I think I need to move them a touch closer to the light, but they seem to be doing really well. I'll probably pot the bigger ones up soon. This is my pea plant timelapse, and I'm...
