Milk- How close is yours from the cow?
Have you ever tasted non-homogenized milk before? We purchased some at the Norcross Farmer’s Market. We chose 2% being pretty sure that whole milk would be too large a change in taste. The family seems ready to go back to their “normal” organic homogenized milk. The neat thing is that we had a chance to try it! I’ve always wondered how milk that has not been over processed would taste. I think it’s great in baking and other dishes that call for milk. Why was I baking? We had several guests over this past weekend to celebrate kidlet’s birthday. It was neat to pass the jug of milk around for everyone…

Eco-Tie Dye, working out the kinks
As the summer fades and school starts, kidlet and I are feverishly marking off things on our summer list of things to do. One neat art project on the list is Eco- Tie Dye Tshirts that we saw on the show Emeril Green. While we most certainly are cooking show fanatics, Emeril Green is not one of our usual shows. I happened on this particular episode on Eco- Birthday Parties because of Jenn Savedge of “The green parent“. She mentioned on her facebook page that she was featured in this particular Emeril Green show. Did you know that Jenn is a former park ranger? Neat thing I didn’t know about her! Anyhoo, off to the…

What's been going on at ASM (Alabama Soap Meeting)
Hey there! A bunch and I mean a bigger bunch than last year of soap making friends are gathered in a little town outside Montgomery called Prattville. (You can find out more here.) We are all sharing ideas, tips and tricks within our soap making industry. It’s been a blast with many new friends being made as well as spending time with old ones. Friendships that continued on twitter and facebook from past meetings are only strengthened with face to face interaction. As you can imagine, the wheels are turning and notes are being taken! Here’s a few photos for your enjoyment…Good night! Theda Gatlin’s Demo on Shower Gel Darlene…

History and Tradition, Cafe Du Monde
Many will tell you that you have not been to New Orleans if you haven’t had a Cafe Au Lait and beignet at Cafe Du Monde. Cafe Du Monde products can be found in many cities far and wide for those that just can’t get enough of the decadent good stuff. Last month, I had an extraordinary visit at this special coffee shop icon. With a stroke of luck, I had a friend from Baton Rouge show up just in time to wisk me off from the airport to the French Quarter. The timing couldn’t have been better! Elizabeth Hill of Handmade at Homestead is also a fellow soapmaker that…

Seeing Pete Seeger at the New Orleans Jazz Fest 2009
How many famous folk have you seen in your life time? It’s one thing when you pay your $ for a ticket and they perform on a stage that is many feet before you. It’s another to see them face to face in a normal environment. How do you react? Those that know us at Dr. Flower are aware that local music is a bit of a passion. There’s something about meeting up with starving artists and hearing good music at a reasonable price. Those are only a few of the reasons that local music appeals. Folk music in particular is a favorite. Eddie’s Attic has a couple of bar…

If you've been wondering…spring planting!
Hey there Dr. Flower readers! Beginning to wonder where I am? If you follow me on twitter, then you know that the end of last week, I was in New Orleans for a long weekend. We had a wonderful time! Please check my twitpic stream to see the posted pictures. I’ll be blogging about the trip in the next few days. This time of year is prime planting season! Since I kicked up my heels watching fabulous music last weekend, I had to bust a move in the garden, at the school, and at the vet as the kitty is still not completely healed. By the way, we saw that…

Happy Easter!
Just a little note that orders received this weekend will be shipped next week as we will be celebrating Easter. I’d like to share a special song that comes from a book called Troubling a Star by Madeline L’Engle All things by immortal power, Near or far, Hiddenly To each other linked are, That thou canst not stir a flower Without troubling a star. That thou canst not stir a flower Without troubling a star. Happy Washing! ~Regina
