I have been visiting the blog since 2007 but must have missed the announcement on passwords. There is an old reference to passwords under Nov 19, 2006 but found nothing under the post on ‘persimmons.’

HELP!

Php 200 is a really good price for these flowers! The most reasonable i have come across are at least Php 250.00.

Was very tense coordinating pick-up (fr King Louis in Manila Seedling Bank) and delivery (to Makati) of 100 or so plants. Had a recurring nightmare they would die before they reached their recipients :) they’re a very happy gift though.

I hardly buy food at Costco, certainly not meat or poultry, fish, produce or dairy so that leaves only sugar, flour, and poinsettas at Christmas. Right now they are four 8″ pots for $14.99 or one humongous 12″ pot for $14.99. The 12″ pot opens to a bush about 3 ft. high and 3-4 ft. across. They were in very good color and shape and will last through New Year. The wholesale and farmers market are at least twice that price. Available the first week of December and well worth the trip.

Maybe MM’s future cookbook should also feature a few pages — perhaps as chapter breaks — that dwell on flowers and flower arrangements. Imagine sumptuous food shots interspersed with gorgeous floral pics!

Regarding the poll, I agree with Jessie (#14 above): reasons for coming back to this blog are all those stated except the last three.

=)
