I
have a habit of cutting off every onion root and planting it. A fairly good
percentage have come back to give me green onion tops, which are tops with me.
I
recently tried to sprout lettuce. My husband was pretty impressed. I just put
the root in a dish of water and there was soon a tiny, tiny future salad
sprouting. Those who claim they don’t have a green thumb may be setting their
sights too high. Give it a shot.

adding sherry to a marinade for chicken or meat. Dress up coffee with a spot of
hazelnut liquer.

The
message is that you can experiment with a little bit of alcohol for flavor and
not fat by, say, adding orange liqueur to a fruit salad or poaching fruit in
red wine.

Star
Stabucks
Vers Armed with a passel of
stocked-up gift cards, we headed to my Mom’s Sunday morning birthday breakfast
for her first experience at a stand-alone Starbucks. She hadn’t tried one that
wasn’t already “in” another space. We had an adventure at the new big one at
3850 College Street in Beaumont and got our fill of icy, chocolaty coffee and
shared bites of various pastries.
You
can have some good personal time all alone at a Starbucks, power up your tablet
and connect to the world or enjoy the company that came with you. We visited
with a bunch of Austin teens who were glad to be back home to Texas, even
though they enjoyed a week at a Young Life camp in Georgia.
It
was just good to get out and chat with people. The best part, we still have $5
bucks left on the a gift card. That’s one more coffee.
