We have been trying to grow tomatoes in containers for the past few years. After watching this lesson, we purchased organic soil, fertilizer specifically for tomatoes with calcium, and organic plant food with a good source of nitrogen. I had no idea that it would be beneficial to cut off the lower leaves of the plant & then plant the tomatoes deep into the soil. This lesson was incredibly helpful!
I made a dunkelweizen using the kit from www.morebeer.com - I'll let you know how it turns out in a couple of weeks! I had to aerate it without using an aerator too... quite a lot of work. Also, I'm not strong enough to lift the kettle and such on my own, so a lot of it was a two-person job. The wort tasted promising, so I'm looking forward to trying the final product. Thanks James!
I thought this would be a great dessert for my family's Thanksgiving dinner. I watched the lesson and followed the provided recipe and it turned out great. A huge crowd pleaser. I didn't have a food processor, so I used an electric hand mixer which worked out fine. Thanks Rouxbe! I cannot wait to try other recipes.
I was really excited to make the thin mints recipe by honeysuckle catering since it didn't contain partially hydrogenated oils like the real ones. However, I didn't end up liking the recipe. Here were my main 2 issues: 1. Bittersweet chocolate was not nearly sweet enough to coat these cookies. This is the main reason why I didn't like them 2. 1/4 inch is too thick to slice them. I started out slicing them 1/4 inch thick, but realized that is about double the thickness of regular Girl Scout cookies, so I started doing the rest 1/8 inch. They were better & crisp all the way through. Overall I think it's worth it to pay $4 for the box of thin mints from the Girl Scouts. These are just not the same :(
