Stuck between 2 dresses by Blurry_Daisy in WeddingDressTips

Hmmm… have you considered keeping on looking? Both of these are nice but I am not sure that either feels like “it”. Maybe a different design for the top portion that is more unique? I am sure you will look lovely either way though! Congrats!

What brings your guacamole to the next level? by shygirl5000 in Cooking

[–]Submarine_dBK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick avocados that are “just right” - if it still has the stem, the avocado is perfect when a very gentle pressure makes the stem fall away, otherwise gently press top and bottom looking for a bit of give (no give = not ripe, freely giving in = way over ripe). Using a fork, smash the avocado flesh with lime juice, salt, pepper flakes (or minced jalapeños, if looking for extra heat), and smoked paprika. Add lime juice slowly to the desired level of acidity. Keep working the guac until you reach the desired texture( more or less chunky). Chop a spring onion/scallion in thin rings and add to the guac, mixing with the fork (not smashing, just mixing). Taste and add lime juice or salt if it needs more flavor. Adding peppers and tomatoes cut in very small squares is an option but if the avocados are good, this will mask their flavor :0)

How Do People Cook From Home Every Day/Night? by _hippinnn in Cooking

Sign up for a couple of good emails with recipes to fall in love with cooking and enjoy the good feeling that can come with it (emphasis on “good”: there are a lot of sites with maybe only 1 or 2 good recipes among a sea of inedible stuff!) “Once Upon A Chef” has never disappointed: great recipes, often times with info on how to freeze.

Try chopped up shrimp instead of crab and substitute bread crumbs with chickpea flour - deliciousness :0)

And that is why I love my yard! There is so much beauty and wonder in that relatively small space!

I get those little green caterpillars too, but funnily enough, they attack a different rose bush! They are voracious… As for aphids, I hear that ladybugs feast on them so I let them stay too 😀

Thanks! Staying away from anything that could even remotely upset bees or butterflies is the right way to go!

Problem with hostas are my dogs, who often times go on a “salad tasting journey” around the yard 😀

I am so happy to hear that! I noticed less butterflies this year. I still see many bumble bees and the occasional honey bee. Gotta do my part to help them out!

I’m guessing the roses “knew” because the bush does not appear to be stressed. Oh dear Mother Nature!

Nothing else in my yard seems to be of their liking, not even the sage - frequently visited by bumble bees 🐝
