I give up

Three times I've tried to plant onions and three times it has failed. I'm beginning to think I just got a bad batch of seed. Oh well. Went to the farmer's market and picked up three seedlings to go in those pots instead. I now have chives, lime mint, and chocolate mint. I hope to grow enough mint this year that I can start making mint sugar syrup again. I also found instructions to turn sugar syrup into sorbet. Mint sorbet. Mmmmm...

I prepped and got started the beef roast for tonight. I'm cooking it in the crock pot with potatoes, carrots, celery, canned tomatoes, onions, bay leaves, and fresh herbs from the pots. Here's a trick: since I had finding dried or hard parts of herbs in my dishes (like rosemary stems), I put them in tea bags, seal up the tea bag, and toss it in. At the end I fish out the tea bag and yet still get flavored food. Ta-dah!

Finally, starparty was complaining about some really, really disproportionate male anatomy she saw in a romance she was reading. I, of course, had to respond in the most appropriate way I could.
