Monday Morning Brain Teasers 02 08 10


What a Monday morning for New Orleans! Now that the game is behind us, spring is just around the corner and Valentine’s Day is next on the list. It’s not as big as Super Bowl Sunday but we could start a new trend.

Today’s brain teasers are in response to a recent comment made by a Telegram & Gazette reader regarding Friday’s blog post, Our Garden of Hope. “Ann, best blog yet and so timely. You'd be gratified to know that there's a groundswell movement of people going back to the basics: living frugally, growing their own produce and making bread. Perhaps this is a positive result of this dire economic time. Self-sufficiency.” Answers in tomorrow’s blog, Tuesdays with Annie.

The best way to store potatoes is to place them in a cool, dark dry location.

Ten pounds of seed potatoes can produce approximately 25 pounds of potatoes.

To produce the hottest Horseradish, add the vinegar immediately after you grind it.

There is only one type of yeast to make bread.

The most popular flower on Valentines Day is the red rose.

The inspirational thought of the day is by an anonymous chap; no age given. "There are three kinds of men who do not understand women: Young, old, and middle-aged."

About Me

My Photo
My gardening influence starts with my Italian grandmother and mother. Their passion for gardening and fresh food has led me to my love for the earth. My Dad taught me my appreciation for nature and my border collies keep me grounded, staying in contact with it daily, whether I want to or not. My husband, Greg's passion for agriculture, horticulture, naturalistic landscape designs and travel have kept us busy in our time together. It's hard to work with and live with your husband but we manage to do it and still find laughter. I think it is because we love food, gardening and nature.
