THERE HE GOES AGAIN WITH THAT ACCENT. Welcome back from your travels, dear imported Andre Jordan, English accent and all; and thanks for bringing a flowering branch (get it: branch?) of the Royal Family with you to pass judgment on the lowliest of creatures. Oh, wait–maybe that was the Queen of Hearts in the original “Alice in Wonderland” film who said “Off with their heads!” (note spelling of off). The royals don’t pass judgment, do they? Someone here’s in need of a proper royal history lesson. :)

    I just watched the new Alice in wonderland.

    i did not like it

    the royal family are mostly German and they have no power. But I like them because they bring in a lot of tourists and make a lot of money for charity.

      Welcome, Cameron — isn’t Andre great? I missed him during his vacation the last couple of weeks and always feel better when he is on duty. :) See you soon!

      Welcome, Wendy. Isn’t Andre wonderful? When his thought bubbles are filled with English-accented phrases, I especially have a giggle. Hope to see you again soon.

    It would be marvelous to have a west coast version or edition of A Way To Garden. Perhaps such a thing exists and I’ve yet to find it.

    This blog is indispensable to me, even in Los Angeles. Thank you so much.

Podcast: Soups, Soups & More Soups

I’VE FOLLOWED a vegetarian diet for decades, but it wasn’t until just a few years ago that I mastered a really good vegetable soup. Now I’m learning variations on vegetable-based soups, plus ones with beans and even ideas for mushroom soups, too–all thanks to Alexandra Stafford and these recipes. (Stream it below, read the transcript or subscribe free.)
