I was vegatarian once, for about two years. It was many years ago. Became one cause of a boyfriend. He went, so did the vegetarianism. But I am always curious how and one becomes anything - so Baldur, why no meat? And how long have you been meatless? And does it smell bad to you? (I recall while not eating meat that the smell of it made me kind of nauseaus, except bacon. Bacon always smelled good.) |

It was back somewhere around 1996, at a time when I still believed in physicians that Baldur became a vegetarian. |

Black hollyhocks are actually a very deep maroon color; they were a personal favorite of Thomas Jefferson and were planted at Montecello. |

And while you might be replying, or have gone off air, I'm back on flowers. |

See - knew it would be interesting to know how Baldur became vegetarian. Does Baldur EVER stray? Eat fish? The only thing I would miss being vegetarian is BLT sandwiches, well, and shrimp. Our first two tomatoes are sitting on the counter and tomorrow, if one more has ripened enough, we are celebrating with the first BLT's of the summer for dinner. |

I have entertained the thought of getting museum putty for some of my vases. The Roseville and Ephraim Faience pieces especially, |

If you get museum putty, all I can say is that you can use it over and over forever. I think it is eternal - probably even has a soul come to think of it. We have antiques and the putty has not left a single mark or stain on any of our wood pieces. It has "cured" the cats of knocking over photos in frames, vases, etc. |

Baldur never muched like fish, or any of the sea bugs (shrimp, lobster, crab). If it was battered and fried it was ok, but often enough Baldur would only eat the batter. |

You could just putty the cats in place. |

NOW I am laughing! Thanks! Tomato sands are delicious - and yes, over the sink or at picnic table in the yard. Yes to the fresh ground black pepper. Nothing better indeed. And yes - must be toasted! |

Sheftali signs on again, ever the eternal night owl. Why is she not surprised that Baldur has read and enjoyed Sarah Susanka books? I own several of her books and consider them great members of my library. Long live the Arts and Crafts movement! Sheftali has been an enthusiastic follower without knowing of Arts and Crafts per se. One of the side benefits of being in the military (now retired) was the opportunity to be in foreign lands and thus collect interesting artifacts. Scattered throughout Sheftali's home are brass and copper objects from Greece and Turkey, old glass bottles from a flea market in Metz, France, crystal goodies from Germany. Many of said artifacts are simply cool (at least to Sheftali), and not expensive. However, two items are dear to Sheftali--the massive oak shrank (wall unit) from Belgium, and the grandfather clock from Germany. I admire the fine craftmanship in both. |

Baldur radio - have not read all 1000+ posts, but somewhere there were interviews. Think that was back when people had a fixation about poles, dancing, tongs, etc. |
