Would you put the venus fly trap in your enclosure for the fruit flies? And would it be safe to do so?
That would probably be a nice idea. I am pretty sure that they are Non-toxic, but I would keep them out of reach of a tort anyways. I would want it to eat bugs, not my tort to eat it.

If you buy a slow growing conifer from a nursery that’s fine. Just don’t try the bonsai trick with something grown as a Christmas Tree; they’re like Sulcatas - never happy in small spaces :D
Oh okay I understand now. No the plan would be to buy a young plant in a pot from a nursery and transplant it into the pot that it will stay in as your Christmas tree. It would be an experiment. If it doesn't work you've lost nothing and would at least be able to use it for a year or two.

Hi, Roomies!
I know I wasn’t around much yesterday, and won’t be around much today, either. Need to cook a dish to share at a party tonight.
Am going to experiment with a sausage and cheese loaf in pastry! Wish me luck! [emoji6][emoji38]
Good luck, Mooz, sounds interesting and delicious! :)

Well, I refuse to look that one up. I made the buttermilk pie (haven't tasted it yet - waiting for it to cool), and now I'm going to go back and find the name for that Meyer lemon thingey and look up that recipe, but I refuse to fall into anymore of your food traps. After I make the lemon recipe, no more!!!!!

Oh no. I have an artificial one. But have always wanted to buy a real one but one with roots and all. The idea would be to keep it in a pot and every Year bring it inside and decorate it. That way it would stay green the entire time and you would have the lovely smell of a pine tree. And you would not need to buy a new one every year and nor would you have to clean pine needles afterwards. But you would need to make a pot stand with wheels so you can move it easily once it starts to get big.[emoji1]
I buy a real one with roots and water it every day but rarely do they survive! I suspect they aren't grown in the pots they are sold in, their roots have been chopped to fit into a pot. I think you would need to buy a really small one and keep getting a bigger pot to keep it growing. Every year I go and plant my tree on the park behind my house but they nearly always die [emoji22]

I love to bake, especially sweets! I bake stuff, eat some of it, and then send the rest of it to work with my husband for him to share with his coworkers... Then I bake something else!
Trying to decide what to bake today, any suggestions?

Wifey ran out of time yesterday, but she just finished up two batches of kanufa. I’m sure Adam will appreciate for multiple reasons.
  • The Arabic Sweet Kunafa Recipe (Knafeh) is the royal and most celebrated dessert in middle east. It is a syrup soaked cheese pastry. Some say it dates back to the Ottoman Empire, others say its origin is from Turkey, Palestine, Egypt, or Greece
Points? Arabia’s sweet, made with two types of cheese. Pix to follow once out of the oven.
