-
If you would like to create a wonderful attractive landscape at your home but do not know where to start, there are many different places to draw your inspiration from. Having landscaping how to thoughts is not nearly as hard as you may think. Take a look at that house that gets your attention every time you drive by. Take some mental notes, take a few pictures or possibly even stop by and ask the owner where he came up with his wonderful looking yard. Books and magazines about landscapes and designs are a good source of inspiration. The Internet is full of landscaping plans and articles that will get your brain thinking of all of the possibilities. Look around enough and you may find some sample landscape plans, pictures, and tips from experts in the field. If you decide to design your yard around a centerpiece, two of the more common ones are decks and patios. These outdoor centerpieces add usefulness to your home while making your outdoor living area seem larger. Decks and patios are great places to entertain guests or to simply gather around with your family. They can also be a special place for you. You can add a small patio to your garden for a place that is all yours. This will become a favorite place to get away from it all and relax. Decks and patios also have the benefit of adding value to your home. Something that seems to becoming more popular is the home fountain.

Blanching Vegetables

One of our customers had asked how to blanch Swiss Chard for a special diet she is on. Blanching is a critical step for all vegetables being stored for more than one month, with one exception: those vegetables being used solely for their flavor, such as green onions, herbs and hot peppers, do not need to be blanched. Blanching is necessary in order to cleanse the produce of any remaining dirt and to kill any microorganisms. It also brightens the color, helps retain vitamins and reduces the action of enzymes that can destroy the fresh flavor of the produce when frozen for longer than the first month.

First, wash, drain and prepare vegetables as you would normally for cooking, such as trimming ends and chopping into the size you would use in your recipes. I would recommend using 1 gal

Tonight I sauteed them with garlic and onions and ad

We went to my in-laws' home for Super Bowl Sunday.  It was my job to bring dessert.  After roaming the aisles of the grocery store yesterday and not seeing anything I liked, I decided I was going to attempt to make a cake.  I remembered at home I had a Hershey's Cookbook.  This was no ordinary cookbook.
