But you can plant garlic right now; traditionally it's planted on the shortest day of the year, but anytime in winter works. Last year I started planting lettuces and such in March, it was so mild, although most years I wait until April or even May if school is kicking my butt.<br />-sSimonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765495849437793084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-68046553057596171162012-12-31T17:40:10.343-08:002012-12-31T17:40:10.343-08:00Hi Darla - I would love to share those cookies wit...Hi Darla - I would love to share those cookies with you - if you are near Berkeley next year (where my daughter lives), I could.

It won't stay cold for long, if last Winter was typical. I am actually a little disappointed not to have gotten the promised snow for New Year's Eve. <br />Right now I am trying to decide what to plan this year, so I don't miss any early produce.

The cute rolling pins is fun to own, but I have never been able to think of another use for it, so not that useful when you are limited in kitchen space. I keep mine in the kitchen in California, with the Pizzelle Iron, and the Spritz cookie press, so my main kitchen in Tulsa is not too cluttered.Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-33331874945088808522012-12-31T17:09:14.354-08:002012-12-31T17:09:14.354-08:00Hi Patricia - I do love that particular one, but I...Hi Patricia - I do love that particular one, but I have other modern ones that I bought before I found this antique.

Mind, I don't own a decorative rolling pin, and their beautiful textures are obviously what make these traditional cookies.
