Well i really want to ask this girl out but here is the problem, i would ask her to dinner or something but i cant cook and there is no where to take her where i live. I would say to a movie but the closest movie theater is about 15 miles away and neither of us can drive alone, still have permits. I would say icecream but thats still pretty far away, 3 miles. All these places are on busy roads so its not ideal to walk to them either. I want to ask her out to but cant think of anything. O when i ask her out people said give her a single flower or something well no one grows flowers in my town in the open basically in there backyards where they arent seen and there is no flowershop. I dont want to ask her to just hang out at my house cause my parents are assholes and my house smells from them smoking. Can some one give me an idea?
Yeah its just a town by pittsburgh, no parks, nothing, just houses and roads, its right by lake erie but the beaches are shitty.
Well it is not in the country its just a small town that makes up i think 5 largest city in pennsylvania. It is the “rich” part of Erie county. The beach has all this trash on it and no sand. The only beaches that are not like that are at the pennisula. and thats in downtown Erie which is about 10-15 miles away.

Hey all, last week I stumbled upon a web site called grannyearth.com. The site is awesome and from it I purchased a cook book for weeds and herbs (same thing really) which grow commonly around our homes. There is info on how these weeds are beneficial to use as well. Every single recipe I tried this far is awesome. Check out the site, and the book which is inexpensive.
Ok, I can cook and season a meat entree. And I can throw the old garden variety vegetables on the stove and cook them, too. But this has started to taste pretty plain. I’m a bachelor. HELP! Not a good cook, either, I don’t guess so please give me some simple to cook yet good things to make.

Learning to use fresh herbs is a great way to spice up your cooking, making it tastier and better than ever before. There are infinite ways to use fresh herbs in your cooking. This means that you get to use your imagination to create new ways of using the herbs you choose every day! A benefit of using fresh herbs is that you will not need to use as much salt or fatty ingredients to add flavor and substance to your cooking. This brings obvious health benefits as well as the fact that herbs are loaded with antioxidants which protect against cancer and heart disease.
Using recipes is a great way of introducing yourself to using fresh herbs in your cooking. The next level of learning how to use herbs comes with fully understanding the different flavors of the herbs you are using. To achieve this, I suggest first tasting each herb by itself, then add it to something bland yet familiar, such as rice or potatoes. Finally, (and here’s where your creativity comes in) experiment by adding the herb whenever you think it will work.
If you’re using herbs from your own garden, it is important for you to know that the best herbs come from plants that are in the leaf making stage, not in the flowering (reproductive) stage. During the flowering stage, leaves become bitter, grassy, woody, or yellowed because more of the plant’s energy is going toward flowering (reproduction). You can delay your plant flowering by harvesting often.
When starting to grow herbs at home, it’s a good idea to start small so as not to become overwhelmed. I recommend starting with six basic herbs, including: Chives, Thyme, Tarragon, Oregano, Rosemary, and Basil. A few others to add when you’re comfortable with the above might be: Sage, Marjoram, and Dill. Once you’re comfortable with all of these, you may wish to experiment with many others. There are infinite possibilities.
When cooking with your herbs, it is a general guideline to use three times as much fresh as you would of a dried herb. The best time to pick herbs from your garden is in the morning, after the dew has dried and before the sun gets hot. This will provide you with the optimum flavor and best storage time line.
When storing your herbs in the refrigerator, I recommend putting them in a perforated plastic bag which you can easily make yourself by poking holes in a plastic bag. They will keep this way for a few days. If the herbs you’re storing have long stems, you can cut them at an angle, like flowers, and put them in water, covered loosely with a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Change the water daily and they can last up to a week. Be aware that longer herb storage times may result in diminished flavor.
A few ideas to get you started cooking with herbs include using Basil, Garlic, Oregano, and Rosemary for meat, stew, pasta, or casseroles. To enhance sweetness, use Cinnamon, Ginger, and Nutmeg. To heat up a dish, add black, red, or white Pepper. Be sure to add fresh herbs at the end of cooking so that flavor lasts. Keep in mind that you can use herb flowers for a beautiful garnish.
Happy Cooking!

I would like to grow herbs in tiny flower pots in my kitchen. I just like the way they look, and I love the idea of having fresh herbs for when I cook. I just need some advice on doing it. I was thinking basil, but that’s the only one I can think of. Which ones should I grow? And should I plant seeds or but the herb plants and just plant them? Do I need to put plant feed in the potting soil? Any advice on growing herbs in pots would be helpful. Thanks.
I’m in Ca if that makes any different, and my kitchen gets almost no natural light, so maybe this thing won’t work out?
