Wondering about good and not-so-good uses for harvested rainwater.

I don't have a system in place yet, just gathering notes.

"Elephant garlic" isn't garlic, genetically speaking, but leeks.



I think roasting garlic (cut in half vertically, maybe drizzled with oil) and squeezing them out once cooked (e.g., to spread on bread), is a pretty good use for garlic that seems too small to be worth peeling raw.

I wondered what kind of onion elephant garlic was. I bought it a couple of months ago and roasted it like I do with all my garlic. It was usable, but not ideal. Weird texture and stringy.  Barely had a garlic flavor at all.

Roasted garlic is one of my favorite things to cook with! Right out of the oven I like to spread it on crusty bread and eat it just like that.

That's great Diane

I am quite new to the whole idea of alternative building. I am going to move to Sedona AZ this fall and would love to buy a small piece of land one day to build a cob house. WHat kind of things do I need to keep in mind? How would cob do at keeping the indoor temps down? THe house I designed is on one level because I thought a loft would be too warm. Is this accurate?

I only used 1 teaspoon in a cup of coffee, two days in a row. The first day I tried 2 different sweeteners so I didn't know which one was the problem. The second day I used the one that tasted best...

Look into the side effects of xylitol before you try so you know what you may be getting yourself into. I'm so pleased that this could be my first post here     but xylitol gave me terrible diarrhea and a 4-day headache...
