I'm the same way. You'd like the projects in MJ's Farm if there were more swear words involved in their stitchery and gardening. I think you and I are the other side of the urban homesteading range and we're all needed. This is why I love you and your blog so much. I’m the same way.

Having Philip gone is not my favorite - but you're so right - in retrospect it will be insignificant. I can't really complain - Max is being awesome. But we really miss Philip. Thank you Aimee!

It's a really big healthy one and I knew I'd have to take one with me since they came from you!! I'm bringing all my special plants given to me by friends so I have you all with me in my new garden. That's interesting that you prefer cooking on electric. There's no denying that there's a longer future for electric. Nicole – I gave my friend Angela all but one of my Apothecary roses from you.

This recipe takes a long time to cook (I'm pretty sure you could cook it for 2 hours with good results) BUT it takes only about 10 minutes to put all the ingredients together and then you don't do any other work. You just go make some doll clothes while your beans cook. I think I tried Bush’s baked beans a few years ago and they were pretty good but yeah – so expensive!

(I'm not a cook, what can I say?). But I'm like you, I love baked beans, but not the pork, and Trader Joe's beans are weird. I do like Bush's vegetarian beans, but they're like a million dollars for a toddler sized can. I'm going to have to try your recipe now.

Funny you should mention fat because I didn't add any fat at all and was just wondering if I should do the next version with some oil in it but I don't actually know that it needs the fat. Another thing - these aren't quite classic because of the carrots. The next version I'm going to leave the carrots out - I really like them in there but I do want to make a version that is as close to the classic as possible. So you may want to leave the carrot out yourself. They add extra nutrition which is nice. You decide! And then tell me for sure what you thought and what you would change.

I LOVE baked beans, but they are off limits usually...not due to the meat content, but the calorie content! Leaving out the fatty pork will make them so much healthier. Thank you so much; I can't wait to try these one night. (Probably alongside grilled meat. Oops.) You’ve got me with this one!!

I'm so happy for all of you. Sending you hugs while Philip is away. You know we've been there, and I can tell you from experience, some day soon, this time apart will be a blip in the past.

It's an ugly pot, but you could always replace it. Beautiful house. Funny, I prefer electric stoves. Greatly; gas kind of freaks me out, and I didn't love cooking on one. Although I was quite annoyed last night to find I'd accidentally left a burner on for quite some time after removing the pan. I have an apothecary’s rose in a pot if you want one to take with you.
