My Sister Is Awesome

Guitar cuff to make you even cooler.

Green Bike Reflector for your ride.

Yabettasupadont is my sister Maria. She is a Cleveland Institute of Art grad with a metalsmithing background. I love her, so maybe I am a little biased, but I think she is a very talented;)

Among other things, Maria uses a variety of plastics in her production line. These are 2 examples of her super awesomeness!

Veggies of the Week

We got these Chinese White Radish seeds on sale at the end of the summer season. On a whim, we thought we could try them for a fall crop. We lost the seed packet, so I can't tell you what variety they are. Spread them over the ground and they grew -as radishes usually do without another thought of them.

Tasted them raw, and WOW, pungent and bitter. I could see their place shredded and sparsely sprinkled in a salad. Probably marinated in vinegar would be good, but I am a roasted veggie fan. I found this recipe, didn't have the sesame seeds and made it anyway. Tonight, I discovered that roasted radishes are AWESOME!

Radishes are really easy to grow, But I am never very impressed with them as far as eating them raw. But I am reconsidering their place in the garden. They may be a cheap and easy veggie to grow. I am happy with our fall crop.

Info seeker that I am, I thought I'd post some info about these little veggies.
