A Visit to Cistus Nursery
I rarely go to nurseries anymore since I work part-time at one and another reason being that I don't have much room for additional plants. When a garden fanatic runs out of room, the brain goes into overdrive, dreaming up ingenious ways to incorporate more plants. And another thing happens - a burning desire to obtain rare and unique plants. I've been moving plants around, a tricky process that has a domino effect. A plant is unhappy - it is getting too much shade or perhaps too much sun. There is a plant that did not get as large as you thought it would or it is just a slow grower and now it is hopelessly hidden behind a taller plant. Sometimes a plant is just a dud for reasons unknown (Rhododendron 'Golden Gate' anyone?). I find the plant in question a better home, but it means that another plant will have to be moved.

Another yummy recipe. I hope you and Michael are enjoying turkey day. I too don't mind the dark dreary outside world when the inside world is full of love and fun. Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you both! Thanks for the recipe. It sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteSMH, what is a good Southern boy like you doing putting that loaf bread in dressing? Just teasing of course, but oh my momma would have had a fit about that. Does your dressing get brown or do you stick it under the broiler for a couple of minutes?
ReplyDeleteHaha! It browns on its own. I might try it with just cornbread the next time. Michael said his mother used biscuits in hers? This recipe has come the closest to what my mother made.
DeleteNo biscuits, please. Give it a try with just cornbread. You may need to add a little broth along as it cooks or at least that is what Momma did so of course that is what I do.
