Yikes!

I'd be a bit manic too if I'd been forced to have such a frightening haircut. :-P

I know, seeing that style of bangs always frightens me, it was something people did to kids in about the 50s through 80s. They can't even be slicked back with styling gel!

[jocelmeow.livejournal.com]

I wore a really wide, deep bang like that in the mid-00s (see icon). It works well on those of us with round faces. The wideness makes your face look not so round. Our model above definitely doesn't benefit by them!

I see the Bad Seed likes peanut butter.

LMAO!

Meth much?

that's bacon on the plate right?? peanut butter, bacon, carrots and parsley......and grapes.....

[tresjolie9.livejournal.com]

I know right? I was about to comment on the parsley, bacon, and grapes!

And the carrots look like they are sliced to the precise point where they go limp and taste nasty.

[misstia]

good 'point' (no pun intended) about the carrots.....ugh, i can taste the blandness of them!!!

see, that's one thing that has almost basically virtually disappeared from plates---PARSLEY! it'd be on plates at restaurants all the time....sold in stores (well it still is) but i mean more massively than now.....parsley is actually really good for you and somewhere along the way people felt it was just a decoration and stopped eating it.....

but back to the ad.....what a strange combination for a meal.....

[rick-day.livejournal.com]

the bacon....it is RAW!

D:

[misstia]

now that you mention it......

[misstia]

yeah it did! and now? i'd be shocked as hell to see it in a restaurant!

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Who gives their kids peanut butter sandwiches with all that crap? Okay, maybe the grapes or the carrots, but I have never put parsley on a plate in my life and bacon requires cooking. If I felt like cooking, I wouldn't be serving peanut butter sandwiches in the first place. If my kids are getting PB, it's because I'm too busy, tired, or just plain lazy to make anything more complicated. Thank the deity none of us has peanut allergies because that's one of my go-to meals.

[misstia]

if i regularly bought or grew parsley (hard to grow, well it takes time, old wives tale says the seed has to travel to hell and back before it'll germinate) i'd probably be all proper and put some on my dinner plate every night......

but yeah, why cook bacon and serve with peanut butter??? or was it leftover bacon from breakfast??? just a bizarre combination.....

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

I didn't know that about parsley, but that's good information. I was never interested in growing it so I never researched it, but now I know not to bother. I have a hard enough time growing "easy" stuff like peas and tomatoes!

[misstia]

you've had a hard time with peas?? from seed?? what happened? maybe i can give you some advice.....when i've grown tomatoes i get plants and i've never had a problem.....i stopped growing tomatoes though because i don't LIKE tomatoes, so why did i grow them?!

i tried to grow parsely once....i have a lot of gardening books and i had read that about the seeds and they were right!!! it took almost a month before the parsley started to sprout!!!

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

I know. It's embarrassing! My pea plants will grow and produce a few pods, but it's hardly what I would call a harvest. I keep planting them anyway because they're nitrogen fixers and they definitely help whatever is growing nearby.

As for tomatoes, it doesn't seem to matter whether I grow from seed or buy plants. I bought three roma tomato plants in the spring. One died immediately. The other two grew like crazy, but only one produced tomatoes. As for my plants from seed, beefsteaks, only one survived the summer and it produced a few tomatoes. The only root vegetables I have had any luck with are potatoes so I'll stick with those. The only vegetable that really took off this year was my jalapeños. I think the super hot summer made them produce like crazy. I have much use for them, but I used them to make some kick-ass peach-jalapeño fruit leather over the summer. Oh, yeah, my peach tree did really well this year, too, so my gardening endeavors weren't totally in vain. Now, if I could just get my apple trees to apple out. I have a lot of berry plants, too, but they're still getting established.

I do okay with herbs, too, especially the ones I hardly ever use such as cilantro and sage. Mother Nature has a wicked sense of humor, doesn't she? :D

[misstia]

what kind of soil do you have?? i've never had problems with tomato plants---except that i don't like tomatoes! HAH! only thing i can think of is your soil.....have you thought of planting in pots to see how they'd do??? jalapenos LOVE hot weather!!! peach-jalapeno sounds like an amazing combination!! and you have a peach tree? WOW!!! and an apple tree??? jealous!!! i have a mulberry tree and mulberries, in my opinion are nasty....but the birds love 'em! so hey, bird food! i have cherry bushes and they were loaded this year.....golden raspberries are taking over a section of the yard....i once planted a dozen hills of potatoes....you know what my potato crop was?? ONE POTATO!! one flipping potato!!! it was good, but damn!!!

you can freeze cilantro and sage....and/or dry them for later use....yeah, mother nature DOES have a wicked sense of humor!!

That's part of my problem--I've never had my soil tested. What I do know is that it's hardpan red clay. I use raised beds and put some sort of organic garden soil in there that I paid big bucks for along with some homemade compost. My tomatoes and peppers are in containers so I use a potting mix. Some of them are in those Topsy-Turvy things that I paid 50 cents each on clearance the year before and the others are in regular pots. They do about the same either way.

I have 2 peach trees, but I only planted the second one a few months ago. I also planted an apricot tree just the other day before it turned cold. I hope I planted it early enough for it to survive the winter. I need to go ahead and winterize it.

Sorry about the potato, but I know what you mean by taste. Yep, home-grown potatoes are pretty damn good. They also are a good container crop if you want to try that. I grew most of mine in upcycled plastic kiddie pool that my kids outgrew years ago. I need to take some pics and put it on Pinterest. I think I would have had more potatoes if I had made the soil deeper.

[misstia]

well why have it tested? you know it's hardpan red clay! :) hmmmm...the raised beds should have helped....i once did raised beds and put peat moss in the bottom, then cow manure, then on top a good 6" of potting soil.....you could try to do what i call ghetto fertilizer---put down newspapers at the end of the season, get them wet, then put down a layer of straw, get that wet too, then if you have leaves you rake, put that on top....put a weighted tarp over that area for the winter....it'll break down over the winter regardless of what your weather is like.....

container potatoes might work, but i'm still bitter about my one potato crop!!! i need to upload pix to my pinterest instead of just repinning stuff! HAH!

there's nothing better than going out and cutting something fresh from the garden for a meal!!!!

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

I might try some of your "ghetto" techniques. Sounds like good, old-fashioned country gardening to me!

You are so right about garden fresh! Had some of the last of the collards and turnip greens last night (speaking of ghetto--ha ha!) Oh, and collards are another thing that did okay. When I make collards, it's not nearly as good as what you get from a soul food restaurant, but it's still pretty good. Just put some hot sauce on there and MMMMM! :)

[misstia]

ghetto techniques are low cost too!!! bales of straw around here are usually around $4 each and they cover a good amount of area....newspapers are usually free to come by if you don't get them delivered as someone usually gets them and will be happy to give them to you....tarps only cost a couple bucks.....

collards and greens do good in bad soil too!!! eddie's brother grew them and he always said you couldn't harvest them until they had been touched by the first frost.....that was what his aunt taught him.....it couldn't be a killing frost of course, but usually are first frost isn't that bad.....garden fresh is totally the best!!!

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

yeah, the cold makes them bolt and they aren't such good eats then

[emmabovary.livejournal.com]

The bacon must be to make it paleo. Oh, wait. Wrong era.

I'd feel more comfortable if she would put that knife down. >_<

[lunabella62.livejournal.com]

If I saw anyone holding a knife and making a face like that, I would do what any sane human will do. RUN FOR THE HILLS!

You do NOT want to get between Suzy and her peanut butter.

What, no one likes peanut butter and bacon sandwiches? They're delicious.

The little girl with the knife? Scary!
