Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh my goodness. I took a Benadryl last night after working in the garden (around 8:30 pm). It is 8:10 am and I am still groggy. Like really, really groggy. What the heck?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I made zucchini muffins the other day and did not blanch. I just shredded them in the food processor (apologies to Food Network, but I *cannot* bring myself to say "food pro") and dumped them in.

hip deep in pie

Happy Canada Day!

I am making a fresh strawberry pie for a barbecue later today. Even when I think I have planed ahead and have everything under control, it always seems to turn into a pietastrophe.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I wasn't going to use the zucchini right now, but rather freeze it to use later. Most of the things I looked at on the web said to blanch it before freezing, but I don't think I am going to.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Does freezing mooshy bananas for later use in bread/muffins just result in horrific nastiness when the banana moosh is thawed?

I always have a few black bananas in the freezer for emergency banana bread. How else would you keep them long enough?

I freeze shredded zucchini without blanching and it is fine. I freeze banana mush and it is fine - actually better than fresh banana mush IMO.

Our wings are not tired.

Um, dumb question: do you peel zuchinni before shredding?
