First Attempt at Bread-Machine Baking
Read recently in a vintage cookbook: "There is nothing worse than a wife who can cook but who won't, unless it is a wife who loves to cook but can't!"


Plant a Lemon Pit
This tiny plant is the beginning of a lemon tree.  Popular at Christmas are attractively packaged bulbs to be given as gifts,  Nurtured throughout the dull winter months, these can bring pleasure to anyone.  Amaryllis and paper whites are easily grown indoors.  The blooms brighten a room.

Add a lemon tree to your window-sill gardening.  It is inexpensive, fun to watch, requires only sunshine and water ~ but start early.  This little lemon tree is a year old.

(The adventurous hollyhock is a bonus.)
