You could have had banana muffins and baked chicken :-) and a sit by the fire.<br />Next time?<br /><br />Jason, here is one website that details how to dry and use the hips:<br />http://tipnut.com/rose-hips/<br /><br />Personally, I have just dried them and mixed them with orange peels and dried bergamot, maybe a piece of cinnamon stick and put into a small cheesecloth bag. When I want tea, I put a bag in a cup and pour boiling water over it and let it steep. Add honey and there you are.<br /><br />Most websites I looked at suggest removing the hairs on the hips and cutting each hip open and removing the seeds. I've never done that, and the site above says it's not necessary for tea. To each his/her own, I guess. I'd be interested to know if other readers use rosehips and how they prepare them.<br /><br />The websites also say to wait until after frost to harvest. I've never done that either, although it might make them sweeter (like persimmons and pawpaws?). <br /><br />I'd like to find enough to make rosehip jelly, but the birds like them too and i've never found enough in the wild to try it.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-45887055395703822592009-09-28T09:18:16.763-04:002009-09-28T09:18:16.763-04:00GSue,

We decided to go for a drive and didn't have anywhere in particular in mind. We point the car towards Elkview, through Clendenin, through Walton, through the greater Speed metropolis and we finally came into Spencer. After a stop off at Walmart, we then headed towards Ripley. As we were driving I recognized Joe's Run Road and told Shirley that's where Larry & Susanna live. Then we knew where we were! <br /><br />Lots of pretty farmland up in Roane & Jackson Counties. We had a nice time, neither of us had been through that part of the state.<br /><br />MatthewMatthew Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625103538582649633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-21459276375169188022009-09-28T08:43:51.603-04:002009-09-28T08:43:51.603-04:00Thank you, Cathy! when I was a girl my mther alway...Thank you, Cathy! when I was a girl my mther always wanted fresh flowers in the house. We loved to pick and arrange them, and there were always flowers to choose from in the gardens or wild flowers along the roads. I try to keep flowers in the house too, even if it's just "sticks" from the winter shrubs or greenery from the herbs.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-12400779084700356292009-09-28T06:58:21.826-04:002009-09-28T06:58:21.826-04:00Those eggs look beautiful and I love your flower a...Those eggs look beautiful and I love your flower arrangement.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01947681055574897580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-90782365564605281632009-09-27T22:55:22.498-04:002009-09-27T22:55:22.498-04:00I like having fresh eggs, Vera, and they are prett...I like having fresh eggs, Vera, and they are pretty in a basket.
