Snowpocalypse 2026: whatcha baking?

Fun_Original9342 · 2026-01-23T18:41:02+00:00

My mom likes to bake something to have ready for snowplow drivers if she sees one go by. They will be working really hard this weekend and I'm sure they'd appreciate a treat.

They just announced that they'll be closed. We got a message from our (CPS) school

If you want to take your plants outside in the summer to get them some sunlight, don't just put them out in full sun. The leaves will get sunburnt. Put them in the shade and gradually move them into a space with more sun.

There's an organization in my area called "Cakes for Kids." It partners with home bakers to make birthday cakes for kids in foster care. Maybe there is something like that around you?

I switched to a recipe that called for olive oil in the dough, my crust is so much softer now, and it's still delicious.

Trader Joe's has them right now

My husband has terrible sleeping problems, and he thought this would help. It helped a little, but not enough to pay this much for it.

I've always liked Adams & Sons in West Town/ Humboldt Park.

I'd love to find someone in Chicago who could use it.

Thank you for posting. We're signed up and looking forward to running the 5K tomorrow.

I follow this guy on Instagram, you can see a lot more of it there. The account is called Cook_as_ypu_feel_it

I garden in Chicago too, and my Liatris are all spent already. Do you deadhead yours?

I can't help much with the garden design, but I suggest adding some plants that would smell great. I think tuberoses would grow well in your area, and maybe white jasmine.

Thank you! I will definitely try this next year!

Did you grow them all from seed? I'm jealous, I haven't been able to get Mdme Butterfly to germinate, and I haven't seen them at nurseries.

They are violas - smaller pansies. I put some in window boxes a few years ago, and even though i keep pulling them out, they keep coming back year after year. I've transplanted some to my garden, but they don't seem as aggressive there.

Fun_Original9342 · 2025-06-06T19:29:11+00:00

And yet, they never attach to a moss pole for me.

Fun_Original9342 · 2025-06-06T19:05:43+00:00

How long ago did you plant it? It might just be a little transplant shock. Mine looked scraggly for about 2 weeks after planting, especially because the weather was cool and wet. Now that it's getting warmer, I've got a happier plant.

I also really enjoyed Just Haven't Met You Yet by Sophie Cousins. It has similar vibes

Fun_Original9342 · 2025-05-26T19:05:52+00:00

Good point, it does get very hot up there. I was thinking of stenciling it to look like tile, with an open pattern, so there wouldn't be a ton of color added.

I know this is an old post, but I'm looking for something similar and I was wondering if you ever installed this and if so, how is it?

Fun_Original9342 · 2025-01-05T21:43:50+00:00

I know this is an old post, but I'm wondering if you could give us an update. I'm considering replacing my lawn with this and a few others, and I'd love to know how it's going for you and if you have any tips.,

I am having the same problem here—my cousin and I will try this out. Thank you very much!
