When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking. Right? Right???

Why do we spell the "ess" sound two different ways in this word? I suppose "proces" would be pronounced prahssez, so I'll allow the double letter in this case. (Procese?)

I still don't understand why it isn't "collapsable".

Not sure what it means, but it's too pretty not to be a word!

Seems like a lot of n's, but the other way doesn't look right at all.

That's not nearly enough L's. Rhymes with "light breeze"?

Jan. 23rd, 2025 07:11 pmThanks to @chenoameg for recommending butternut squash au gratin. This recipe crashes my browser, but the other one wanted me to infuse the herbs in the cream.

Nov. 30th, 2024 02:30 pmIt finally occurred to me that sweet potatoes can be made into muffins. A surprisingly large number of sweet potatoes turned into two dozen muffins:

Verdict: successful but BORING. I think the next batch gets walnuts. Those who like chocolate chips in quick breads would probably like them here.

Nov. 3rd, 2024 08:10 amWeather Kitty says the temperature has started dropping below freezing at night, so I brought in all the tomatoes. I think there were over 5kg of them -- the volunteer plant over the spot where the sewer line broke got a late start but has been an incredible producer.
I think I found the chutney recipe I used last time, though I don't remember the pepper. I used one ageing cayenne pepper in place of all the pepper ingredients, one large onion, and 2.75 cups of vinegar. (One bottle of vinegar holds less than two cups. My recycling is going to be ridiculous this week.)
Edit to add mincemeat!

Combine:
1 leek, sliced
1 large potato, cubed
1/2 scary little red pepper, chopped fine
1/2 c milk
Microwave for 3 minutes 33 seconds
Add:
4 oz cream cheese (1/2 brick)
1/2 bunch wilted arugula (because you're never going to actually use it in a salad)
1/2 t salt
1 t dried parsley
black pepper
Microwave for 2 minutes
Add:
3 eggs
1/2 c grated cheddar
Bake in a flat ceramic dish at 350 for 40 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
Really yummy, but I might have used too much potato.
