  • Monthly Cooking Thread, Thanksgiving Edition, November 2019

(Somewhere on my hard drive, I’m sure I have many Freeper recipes that were posted over the years before I officially arrived on the scene.) Now, the holiday season is getting into gear, and Thanksgiving is on the near horizon once again. Please share with us your family favorites, traditions, and your memories of this very American of holidays. We’ve noted many times before that people really don’t...

    Is there any interest in a separate 'Fiber Arts' thread on FR? It would probably be a monthly thread, and we'd post to it all month, share our projects, yarn/fabric recommendations, etc., as we do weekly for the Garden Thread. We're finding a lot of over-lap between the Gardening Thread and the Cooking Thread and a few other General/Chat threads posted from time to time. Those of us that like to garden and cook seem to like to sew and craft and knit and crochet, too. Any takers? Ping me here, or send me (Diana in Wisconsin) a message if...
