Nifty Thrifty Broccoli: My kids are split on liking broccoli. I have found a way to get the one hold out child to eat his broccoli and like it. From a recently purchased large bunch of broccoli, I was able to make one meal and one side dish. The florets were used to make cream of broccoli soup, and the chunky stalks were peeled, cut into thin strips (julienne cut), sauteed in a few teaspoons of olive oil to which a clove of fresh pressed garlic was added. As soon as the broccoli strips were crisp tender, they got a little splash of soy sauce and cooked for another minute. They in no way taste like broccoli. Nathan now enjoys his 'green beans' and I dare you to tell him otherwise;)

Biodegradable nursery pots

I'm not one to plug products, but I love the idea of CowPots™ . I've just filled up my test set of 12 with potting mix, and am letting it warm up on the heating mat out in the shed overnight. I'm not sure how warm it will get; the mat's not the one I used last year. Hmm, maybe that one's down in the (still dark) basement? I'm planning to sow seeds of hardy greens in them for transplant. It's still much too early to think about warm season veggies, but a round of kale, collards, and winter spinach is worth a try. CowPots™ are made of composted dairy cow manure, after most energy has been converted to methane gas (used to power dairy operations) and the liquids returned to crop fields. It's a sterile, quickly biodegradable, mildly nutrient rich medium for a pot - how cool is that? I'm SO tired of nursery pots made of non-recyclable PP plastic. Sure, I can reuse them to some degree, but what about all the pots that are thrown away? CowPots™

SALA DE COLOR NEGRO ELEGANTE Y CHIC

Image
Nunca pensaría pintar de negro algunas de las paredes de mi sala, pero me ha encantado esta combinación de colores que se ve super elegante. El contraste del color crema y dorado y atrás el fondo negro con el espejo en plata se ve genial. Desde ya he comprado tela dorada para hacer el cojín, y esa mesita creo que se puede hacer con 4 porcelanatos brillantes. Que les parece?

Modern Bedroom Interior Design

Modern Bedroom Interior Design A black and white bedroom is very often associated with a room with white walls and black bed. Although the reverse combination is also looks cool and very modern. Black walls of course could fit only for a big and well-lighted bedroom. Below you could see an amazing black and white bedroom design, which could become a great inspiration for you. Such bedroom looks sober and even masculine, but very elegant. White bed by Molteni perfectly enriches the black wall and the black floor. It becomes light centre of the stylish dark bedroom and attracts all eyes. This bed from Glove collection has modern minimalist design and provides a comfortable sleeping.

We finally got round to having the first of our meals out that were our Christmas presents to each other. We are simply not a family that goes out for meals. Initially due to the cost and now that there are only 2 of us not 5 we still prefer to cook a special meal at home or have a take away. (My favourite is a sandwich in the open air.) When we actually thought about it we could count the number of times we have eaten out together (not counting holidays or works outings) on the fingers of one hand. My colleagues do go out to eat but I don't think it is something we Brits do a lot. At least apart from young people. Perhaps it is the cost, locally a meal with a starter or a desert as well as drinks will probably cost £15+ per person or a fast food such as pizza or fried chicken would be £5+. Maybe I'm just old but when you multiply that by 5 for our family it seems to add up to a lot. What happens in your part of the world? How often do you eat out? What is your favourite cuis

Modern Apartment Interior Design

Image
This apartment is located on level 16 of a circular 18 storey high tower in Darling Point, Sydney and takes up the whole floor. The location allows occupants to gain extensive views of the harbour, its bridge and the Opera House. Its latest interior design is done in modern style which maximize 360 degree views potential by Stanic Harding. Spaces are radial than orthogonal and each room has as good connection to full window bays as possible. The ceiling treatment in the public spaces is designed to enhance this circular sense by installing thin, flush fitting fluorescent strips radiating out to the perimeter. This provides for a stronger and cleaner ceiling plane that is contributing to the quality of the space. The central core responds to the perimeter with the curved surface made up of beautifully finished panels upholstered in a padded wool fabric. These are either fixed or are secret doors to storage or robe areas. Vertical strip lighting located at set centres divide panels and p

After the storm

Image
We didn't really get much in the way of snow with the recent winter storm, although surrounding areas did. In the mountains, up to a foot of snow and ice fell, creating slippery conditions on highways and streets. This morning, the ice droplets sparkled as the sun started to peak out. The Eastern hemlocks looked graceful, with their dusting of ice. And it looks like I need to fill the feeders again!

Amazing Rounded House Design in Australia

Image
  Amazing Rounded House Design in Australia The Mobeius house was created by Tony Owen Partners in Sydney, Australia. The amazing rounded house design was the concept of the client with the intention of maximizing reddened and developing a concept a bit different than the accepted \"90 degree right angles\" found in most homes. As a result almost everything is custom in the home including the windows, frame and roof. The frame is created of steel that had to be specially cut to create the rounded look. Once the frame was up the rest of the features could be built and fastened to ensure the proper shape was kept throughout the house construction process.
