So, I've had an apple intolerance since 2009. I started eating raw apples again recently, and they seem to be healthy for me again. However, I'm noticing that the apples have a lot more flavor and sweetness than I remember! They're like candy.

Not everyone is fond of the smell and/or flavor of epazote. Some compare it to kerosene and gasolene. I personally like the smell and the taste, though. To change the taste significantly, I recommend cooking the leaves into something. It's different cooked, and you'll probably like it more. ...read more

I grew a number of summer savory plants, this year. I left the plants out beyond the frost in hopes that they would reseed. I noticed the other day that the pods opened up and they have black seeds inside.

Baked oatmeal is surprisingly awesome. It cooks fast, too. My motivation for reinventing it (I tried it before, liked it, and eventually forgot about it) was to avoid burning the milk (milk burns easily on the stovetop, it seems especially with quick oats). Anyway, here's what you do: Mix ...read more

Store-bought Marie Calendar cherry pie is pretty good, lately. I always prefer the homemade with home-canned sour cherries, but if you're going to buy one, it's a great choice. I don't know what kind of cherries Marie Calendar uses.

I've discovered that basil improves the taste of Hawaiian pizza quite a bit (especially with the thick Candian bacon wedges that don't taste very much like the other Canadian bacon; basil makes it taste more like it, as does pineapple, of course).

It tasted like a mix between grapefruit and maple bars.

This was the ground cherry I've grown that was the largest on its first year, and the second-sweetest on its first year. It's supposed to be the frosty-hardy Physalis heterophylla Nees, but I don't think it is. It didn't grow back, and it looked and tasted much like Aunt Molly's and Goldie . I'...read more

Goldie is the groundcherry I've grown that was the sweetest on its first year. The fruit was smaller than Aunt Molly's that year (although it was potentially larger on subsequent years; it may have been a cross, however). The variety is very similar to Aunt Molly's and Ammon Martin's. I got my ...read more

On 31 Dec 2019, Tomatoville is scheduled to go down forever. Mischka announced this yesterday. It looks likely that the user named Rajun_Gardener has acquired the domain (but I'm uncertain if tomatoville.com was the domain in consideration). It is unclear what Rajun_Gardener plans to do with the...read more
