Does anyone have any good recipes for sweet potato? I happen to have a whole bunch of sweet potatoes but I'm not sure what to do with them other than bake in the oven... which gets boring after a while! Any ideas please? Thanks in...

dolfin Yeah, it IS heartbreaking when my newly-transplanted seedlings disappear overnight. After waiting WEEKS for seeds to germinate and grow into stout little plants, then carefully placing them in garden beds only to have them gobbled up almost immediately - it's...

dolfin Thank you for your suggestion. I will take a look to see if there's any copper wire around. But I don't think I could bring myself to eat snails though no matter what species they are heh heh!

Help! My cat won't leave the sofa alone! He will scratch it whenever I'm not looking. I've already bought him two EXPENSIVE scratching posts but he won't touch them. Me and Mr Cat have had several heart-to-heart talks but that...

dolfin Oh my, it's like he takes revenge on your legs eh? LOL I now drape a large blanket over the sofa every night. He doesn't scratch that because it's soft and smooth. Whenever he sees me throwing the blanket over the sofa he'll give me a very disgusted look...

dolfin When he first started scratching the sofa, I used to yell NO and he'd stop, so he DID get the hint and now will not scratch during the daytime when I'm around. However in the middle of the night when everyone's in bed, sometimes I can hear scratching sounds...

There are tons of beautiful knitting patterns out there which can't be matched by crochet, especially for garments. I can do both, but somehow I prefer crochet as I find it easier to handle - a lot less worry about dropping...

dolfin It's great that you're knitting your Christmas presents! It's so special to receive a gift that the giver has made her/himself, as I know that time and effort was put into creating the item. Happy knitting!
