Thanks everyone. I think it might have been the hot weather. It looked fine and had not stayed on the stalk too long...I will try again in the fall when the temps cool off..Our first experience with lettuce so we just didn't know. :-(

Don't know if this is the correct place for this question, but here goes...For the first time ever we planted romaine lettuce. It looks really pretty but it is bitter. I made a low calorie ranch dressing this morning and wanted to try it out. I first thought it was the dressing tasting so bad...

Thanks Marji , but I have already made the plain fig preserves. I appreciate your offer though..:-)

Thanks Greg! I did see some recipes that were similar to what you said. It did say to put in the refrigerator or to waterbath them because they spoiled easily. I appreciate your replies...

Greg, do you think to cut it back to 1 c. and then use the strawberry reg. or sugar free would be good. I googled and got some different ideas for making it with less sugar ,but I have to have the strawberry to give the figs the taste of it...I believe I have used the s.f. jello before,but...

I am canning this morning and it calls for 3 c. figs,2 c. sugar and 2 boxes strawberry jello. This is going to have a lot of sugar in it. Has anyone used the sugar free jello?? sure would cut the sugar amt. Any help ???

Thanks everyone for your opinions ! I bought the boxwood because of the little leaves , it said that no chopping to it. I may go back and get the big leaf too for sandwiches like someone mentioned. I've never eat one with that on it...I just don't know that much about the plants. I've always...

What I was going by is that on the sweet basil it says its good for pizza and italian dishes. On the boxwood it says to use for pesto, so I didn't know if it was really that way or not. Since I only wanted 1 type just wanted to make sure I bought the right kind. I love the basil taste in soups ...

This is a very short question...What type of basil do you buy to plant? I looked at some today that was a boxwood basil and there was another that was sweet basil. I didn't know which kind to get. I have never made any pesto and really haven't used any basil except for the dry kind in the...

I found out the light doesn't come on in all the turbo ovens. I love my new oven and now just to find out more about using it. Baked biscuits tonight in it and they were so good and took a lot less time than a big oven. Doesn't heat up the house either. That will be especially nice next summer !!

I bought a Sunpentown turbo oven yesterday at a discount place at a very good price.I don't know if the light is suppose to come on when its cooking, because this one doesn't. I don't know anything about these ovens except what I can find on the internet or youtube. But with all the videos a...

Not sure where to post this. I wanted to know if anyone knows a good place to go and put your recipe in and it calculate the calories and nutritional values. I would like the easiest way of doing that. I tried Spark people but was a little complicated.:smile:

It's working fine. I just leave it in the little oven all the time. Maybe I was just lucky , but my DH did a good job cutting it down....

My husband was able to cut the stone down by using a tile cutter with a wet blade. Then he used a belt sander to smooth it down. I cooked some biscuits tonight on it and they did fine. Browned good on top and bottom. This way I was able to use my smaller oven. I was half way afraid for him to...

Well Kayelle, I actually did buy one and then wondered if I should use it. I ask the employee in Lowe's about an unglazed tile and this is what I bought. The employee said he had never heard of it and suggested I put it in a hot oven for a while. I don't know if it was a saltillo tile or not(I'm...
