Replacing Knife Handles?I'd like to replace handles on these 3 blades: pie, butter, and a cheese knife. I am not sure what kind of wood or material would work best for these and what technique to use.
Almond Coconut Bars?Regarding the Almond Joy Bars recipe submitted by "one.of.a.kind": Why does the recipe need paraffin added to the chocolate? I've never cooked with it except to make jams the "old fashioned way" before we had special jam jars.
Making a Beaded Doorway Curtain?I'd like to make a beaded door curtain like they have in shops in Europe. It could be made from plastic or bamboo. Does anyone have a pattern, instruction, tips?
Uses for Leftover Bread?I am looking for ideas for using leftover bread, either slices or bits and pieces. I already make croutons and dry + crush as bread crumbs. What else?
Growing Lavender at High Altitude in Arid Climate?I grow lavender in Taos, New Mexico. We're at 7,000 ft. altitude with arid climate and cold winters plus windy spring and summer months. All I know so far is Hidcote and Munstead are the most resistant to our temperatures. I can't grow the real French lavender here.
