Michael, not sure what your mystery plant might be. In bloom this early, if you’re in the US you must be either in the South or the coastal West.

i like the goldfinch the best.

i have this weed flower i found in my uncles yard i dug it up before he cut the grass anyways it has 5white petals and multiple flower buds on top,

the flowers stem and it has long skinny green leaves spread out on the stem and the flower buds look like a rose before it opens up and the center where the pollen is at is blue at first then once the pollen things fall off it leaves the stigmas and they are all white and not blue anymore man i wish i new what kind of flower this is even know that its a wild weed flower its still a pretty flower im gonna take a guess that its in the rose family because of how the flower and the stigmas look

oh here’s what the flowers kind of looks like they kind of look like whats on a male holly tree and its flowers and it has a very weak sweet smell a bit like grapes and its leaves look like short hosta leaves the all green hosta plants thats what the wild weed flowers leaves look like to me im still going to search for it i almost forgot to say that the flowers petals looks kind of like clovers but not the heart shape and at the ends or tips of the petals it has a few teeth and the flower is the size of a dime.

Bill:
I don’t know if you remember me, I hiked Death Valley with you and Tina eons ago–I wonder if you recall the cartoon I did for you of the
BEAR with the knapsack on his back, as a logo for your hiking and exploring group, gosh it must have been back in the 1990s. I always loved my drawing of that, and was astonished to see an ad for AMTRAK trains (in Sunset? Via magazine?) with my drawing copied EXACTLY and then turned into a photoshopped bear with the same backpack, only standing on a train platform. Call your lawyer.
I’m up in Fort Bragg now, amidst several groves of sequoias, and within the roar of the ocean.

Bill and Tina-
Sorry to have been out of touch with you for so long!. Nancy and I were breaking fast at the Half-Day Cafe and I saw someone who reminded me of Bill. So I found this website via Google.
We are very saddened to learn of Tina’s health issues, and wish you both well in your coping with this. Your description of her approach to this through wabi-sabi is quite touching and heartfelt.
We would welcome receiving your e-mail address for future contact, as appropriate.
Our heartfelt good wishes,
Kurt & Nancy Rademacher

No idea why so long, but at least 4 generations have insisted. I suspect it’s because the dough is very, very stiff and the complex flavors take a long time to diffuse and mingle fully.

Oooo, it’d be very sweet if you made them! (Could we come visit?)

I have had 2 omas as well, being from Belgium. I know the cookies, I have never made them. But before I set out to start my Christmas cookies in October, why let the dough sit so long? In any case, thanks for the recipe and the words.
