Eggplant MoussakaThis recipe was originally written to make 2 servings and is referred to in the Sunset cookbook as Miniature Moussaka. It is a variation on the more traditional recipes from Greece or Turkey. I have tripled it to share and freeze the leftovers.
Vegetable Stuffed FishThis recipe was originally called flounder florentine. However I found it works with any firm white-fleshed fish. I also experimented with some Swiss chard from my garden instead of the spinach, with good results.
Declutter with Coffee CansI live in a tiny apt. and I have a small space to create things in. So, supplies and clutter and stuff just pile up.
Teheura (Tahitian Red Bird)Teheura means the royal red bird of Tahiti. In ancient times only royalty could wear the red feathers of this bird. The king of each village was the only one who could use the red feathers for their costumes. He wore a special headdress made from the Teheura feathers and black and white feathers of the cock.
Birthday Candy PosterMy daughter wanted to make something to give her nana on her birthday. After searching Pinterest she decided to make her a candy poster. It was very fun to pick out the candies and find a way to use each one!
Hibiscus Moscheutos Luna Pink SwirlI thought of Judy this afternoon when I discovered my Pink Swirl had opened. Guess this makes us kindred gardener spirits. Just for the heck of it, I'm entering mine in the contest, too. May the best picture win! (I must say, her picture has a much nicer background).
Using Terro Ant BaitWe have a quarterly pest service to try to deal with our ant problem. Outdoor spraying has not kept the odorous ants out. We are opposed to spraying inside, so we have always relied on baiting. Our pest service will no longer allow us to only bait indoors under our contract, so we decided to try Terro bait.

Photos of My GardenI inherited the love of flowers and gardening from my dad. After years of planting impatiens I was hit with the impatien wilt. I read about the new Bounce impatiens which were a hybrid created to replace the impatiens destroyed by the wilt. This is the 2nd year and they are fabulous.
Hang Posters with Washi TapeTo hang posters use washi tape. Washi tape leaves behind no residue on the wall like regular tape. It easily rips off the roll or you could cut it for a straight line. You might have to replace the tape eventually, but it won't take off the poster's ink.
Closeup of My RoseWhile I was taking pictures of my roses, I decided to get really close. This is what it looks like with the sun shining through it. I love it!

House Trained Dogs Peeing Inside?Why would a nine year old and and a 4 year old Boston Terrier start peeing in the house after they both were accident free? We rescued another puppy 2 years ago and recently had him fixed. I am thinking he was the reason, like a male dominance issue. But after that they all pee all over our house.
Feed Dogs Not Working Properly?I have a Juki Misin Handy sewing machine. The problem with my sewing machine is that if the textile that I will be sewing is silk and slippery for some reason the fabric won't feed through the machine. It just stays stationary causing a giant knot to form.

Dogs Afraid to Go Outside?I have 4 dogs and all four are all of a sudden afraid to go outside. Usually every morning the first thing I do is get out of bed and let them out to do their business and they would run like heck out to the yard. Now they put on the brakes and stop at the door and refuse to go out. What is wrong with them?
Is My Puppy a Full-blooded Pit Bull?I recently bought a Pit Bull puppy for R800. The puppy didn't come with papers, but I did see the mom and dad. They pretty much looked like pure bred Pit Bulls to me, but it was only on a photo at our beach front. Can any one tell me if my puppy is a pedigree pup or not?
Transplanting a Hibiscus?My hibiscus has outgrown its pot and is overflowing. My question is, do I cut off some of the roots? They go way down in the ground from the drainage hole. I want to put it in another pot because I have rental. I've never done this before. And when should I do this?
