I made an awesome tomato salad last night with tons of fresh Basil, some good olive oil, a splash of Balsamic vinegar and some black truffle salt. I also thru a little dried rosemary in. You let it sit in the fridge for just a little bit to chill, and serve it with crunchy bread...<br /><br />Yum yum!!!Crushproofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529340397725704491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-80057711998582003252009-09-07T22:00:25.106-07:002009-09-07T22:00:25.106-07:00i think it was designed to grow weed! have you tri...i think it was designed to grow weed! have you tried it? do let me know here.Bob's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10846164507517474751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-8909265345474150022009-09-03T23:46:16.924-07:002009-09-03T23:46:16.924-07:00Whoa that looks so high-tech!

Not to mention it light up our entire apartment with an eery fluorescent light. Who knows what our neighbors thought... As cool as it was, we got rid of it because it was just too much of a 'presence' in our small space. :) Maybe you'll have better luck. Or put it in a closet or something.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811878222698876854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-91526743103772645142009-09-01T15:00:11.379-07:002009-09-01T15:00:11.379-07:00good callgood callRaymi Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224818180560193336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-62817170198121268312009-09-01T14:43:38.218-07:002009-09-01T14:43:38.218-07:00That thing is freaking gorgeous, I'm off to Go...That thing is freaking gorgeous, I'm off to Google it right now....Irmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187488217492892133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-69481557264305312052009-09-01T13:16:41.286-07:002009-09-01T13:16:41.286-07:00Jorge, I heard that if you put a cup of beer out, ...Jorge, I heard that if you put a cup of beer out, the slugs and snails crawl into the cup and drown...might be worth a try?Brandy & Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11529036151170791218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-35160673454379824672009-09-01T13:04:52.257-07:002009-09-01T13:04:52.257-07:00You slay me with all your "As seen on TV"...You slay me with all your "As seen on TV" stuff!junkfoodjodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055201960143064859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-78781867316800040552009-09-01T11:46:11.392-07:002009-09-01T11:46:11.392-07:00I've always wondered about those things.

She is always trying to get me to have one, too.<br /><br />She got some Madagascar Hissing cockroaches from a friend who is an entomologist (a bug studier at a university-Purdue). She kept the cockroaches in a cage on her kitchen countertop. At Thanksgiving time the kids at school had to say what they were thankful for and her son said "I am thankful for the cockroaches in my kitchen."Judy in Indianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10692193695672376989noreply@blogger.com
