    "Cooking for Dummies"

    Yes, I am the "dummy" in question. I have never cooked. Ever. Unless you count the VERY basics such as eggs/ microwave bacon, grilling, opening a can of soup or packet of Ramen noodles. Lately I have tried my hand at simple, fun stuff - preserves (figs, strawberry-fig), blueberry jam...

    http://pensacola.craigslist.org/grd/1857296748.html I would like to buy a cow old enough to be bred, but not so old it won't be any good to me for long. Is this one about right? Is she priced pretty normally?

    Too Hot??

    I have my garden plot tilled and now I am wondering is it just too hot for tender young plants? I want to plant southern peas, okra, corn, pumpkins and MAYBE try tomatoes again (didn't have much luck with those 1st go 'round). I am in zone 8b and my "what to plant now" from mother earth news...
