- museumchick on pmrk’s “What a difference a day makes” They look beautiful!
- janelle on pmrk’s “What a difference a day makes” Some of my tulips have bloomed. I feel like Drew and I lucked out. When we moved in, there were already a number of lovely tulips planted in our front and backyard.
- pmrk on pmrk’s “My gardens are blooming” e:tinypliny Probably not on either the Buffalo Garden Walk or the Parkside Garden walk this year. We're working on our house for most of the summer and he who provides the "K" part in pmrk is having shoulder surgery. You're most welcome to…
- tinypliny on pmrk’s “My gardens are blooming” Is your garden going to be part of the garden walk? :)
- tinypliny on pmrk’s “City Chickens” If people can have pet birds, they can have hens as well because hens are birds. Bureaucracy is always brainless.
- libertad on pmrk’s “City Chickens” I just want to say from the pictures it doesn't look like the chickens were loud or smelly. I'm just saying if their coops did smell or the hens got loud and it was right outside somebody's window then it could be a problem. I feel bad tha…
- metalpeter on pmrk’s “City Chickens” I didn't read the story. But that being said there is one thing you have to remember that could have been a factor. I have heard (never seen it my self) that there is Cock Fighting on the west side. I wouldn't even know where to find it, b…
- pmrk on pmrk’s “City Chickens” Maybe they will change code and you'll be able to have a couple chickens. I'm sure you would take care of them properly and keep their coop clean. I can see setting limits as to how many chickens you can raise in your urban backyard. I hop…
- matthew on pmrk’s “City Chickens” I was just trying to convince Paul that we should raise 2 or 3 hens in our backyard after listening to Martha Stewart talk about hers on her show. I was sad to find this article. If raised properly chickens are clean and quiet and make gre…
- pmrk on pmrk’s “City Chickens” My parents still reside on the west side and they have some crappy neighbors these days. I'd bet they would take smelly chickens over the slumlords who are just leaving the houses to rot or the squatters who have started more than one acci…
- james on pmrk’s “City Chickens” I looked into the code today. Apparently, you could have chickens up until 2005 when we had the avian flu scare. Though, really, if you have ten chickens in a coop in your back yard that is very different than a hundred chicken coop.
- janelle on pmrk’s “City Chickens” I was a little sad to read about this as well. I read the updates in the comments section and it seems like David Rivera's office is getting involved which makes me happy. I would like to see a change in code to allow it. Like urban garden…
- libertad on pmrk’s “City Chickens” I looked up the article and those are some cute chickens. I'm not so sure I would appreciate my neighbors having a chicken coop if it was loud or smelly. Not sure if that was the reason somebody called in this case or not. I feel for these…
- chico on pmrk’s “Local Restuarant Week” Merge is http://www.mergebuffalo.com/ Dinner 5-10 p.m. daily I think
- tinypliny on pmrk’s “Local Restuarant Week” That was typed in a tearing hurry. So is this! ^know
- tinypliny on pmrk’s “Local Restuarant Week” e:Chico - do you when they close?? I want to go to there!
- chico on pmrk’s “Local Restuarant Week” Went to Merge, the new veg-friendly joint on Delaware near Edward, and it was (soooo good and) so cheap that we didn't even make it to $20.09 per person ordering off the menu (tea, entree, side, and dessert). But there are tons of great re…
- janelle on pmrk’s “Local Restuarant Week” Yes, many, many thanks... I'm going to try to talk husband into taking advantage of this TONIGHT!
- tinypliny on pmrk’s “Local Restuarant Week” I know - people in my 14-person office were making reservations at Hutch's, Left Bank, Tempo, Laa Tee Da and other fancy high end places left right and centre. Yeah, I still want to go home and cook. :D
- jason on pmrk’s “Local Restuarant Week” Thank you for letting us know!
- metalpeter on pmrk’s “A rare sunday post” Oh Ok yeah I think you where in the green room at the computer, I have seen you before but didn't know who you where.
- pmrk on pmrk’s “A rare sunday post” e:metalpeter I was wearing an orange hooded sweater and yes I saw myself in some of your pictures. e:tinypliny the black fabric is landscaping fabric that I had to cut away. The pics were uploaded in reverse order. The bulbs were trying to…
- metalpeter on pmrk’s “A rare sunday post” I have to admit I'm not sure who you are in person, that being said hope it was a good time. You may have gotten on Camera. There where some people who I know didn't like e:drew and I'm sure some others as well.
- tinypliny on pmrk’s “A rare sunday post” What is that black fabric covering the shoots? Is that landscaping fabric? Have the shoots grown through it or did you wrap the shoots in it and then cut holes for them to grow through? How are they going to get sunlight if you wrapped the…
- tinypliny on pmrk’s “Lost Dog - FOUND!!! :-)” How did they find Copper?? Tell Tell!!
- paul on pmrk’s “A rare sunday post” Glad your guys made it, we shoudl have a dinner party again soon.
- pmrk on pmrk’s “Weekend” My second batch came out better than the first and would fit in a toaster. I used less filling so things did not explode. e:(tinypliny) LOL
- tinypliny on pmrk’s “Weekend” No wonder I am SO attracted to you! ;-) "Filling explosion". I need to try this! I agree with e:heidi. What a nifty idea!
- heidi on pmrk’s “Weekend” What a neat idea! I'm guessing they don't fit in the toaster?
- tinypliny on pmrk’s “Seeds” OKG - I need to see this ipod coolness!!!! When am I running into you next??? Can you scan stuff? This may be the thing that finally makes me get an ipod. BTW, I am so annoyed that the wegmans site keeps saying that you can see your past p…

- pmrk on tinypliny’s “What am I eating?” I'll be participating in the event and will try to stop by the tent to give some spit.

- pmrk on paul’s “The ghettoist trash” Move the couch on the porch ASAP. The city will fine you for having living room type furniture outdoors.

- pmrk on heidi’s “spring!” I can't wait to read your review of Merge. That place is on my list to try. I already had plans the night you two went or I would have happily joined the fun.
- pmrk on heidi’s “Random party followup” thanks for the recipe. I am pretty sure my hubby was happily eating those cookies at the party. I can't wait until the opening madness dies down a bit at PriceRite. I keep calling the darn place ShopRite.

- pmrk on pmrk’s “Seeds” I'm trying sunflowers again this year. A few years ago I swore I wasn't going to plant them again after the squirrels decimated them as soon as they bloomed. I saw this beautiful red variety when I was at Urban Roots so I grabbed a pack of…
- pmrk on tinypliny’s “Give it up!” what?!? I think you're the only one who actually reads my journal and yes I'm still hibernating. :-) I hope you come back before Easter.
- pmrk on kathryn’s “The Omnivore's Dilemma” If already haven't might want to read copy of Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingslover. It details her year of local eating. In my house, we eat local as much as possible. I find it much easier in the summer when the farmers market…
- pmrk on pmrk’s “Food Prices and spreadsheets” I'll keep my eyes open for you at Big Lots. I shop there too. I always seem to buying plastic bins when I'm there. LOL The Co-op is expensive but they carry a couple things I cannot find anywhere else yet.
- pmrk on pmrk’s “Cooking Adventures” yes to VeganYumYum. I just made a glazed tofu dish from her site and it was awesome. I have a KitchenAid professional mixer and it does draw a good amount of power and our house needs some power re-routing. Everything is on very few circui…
- pmrk on pmrk’s “House Assessment Challenge” it's not like the city it known for its make sense decisions. :-)
- pmrk on pmrk’s “House Assessment Challenge” that is crazy that the photos didn't work since the city specifically asks for them on the forms you have to fill out! Guess we'll go with sale data and photos as backup.
- pmrk on kookcity2000’s “WAKE UP” My internal clock is at odds with my working hours and I cannot adjust my working hours more than I already have so I hit the snooze a few times too. I even have to get up to do it but it doesn't deter me at all. It's so dark in the mornin…
- pmrk on pmrk’s “Dear Congress” e:imk2 glad you liked enough to use it. I may just send it off to my Representatives and Hillary. I agree on the not too frivolous of restaurants part, it was a good revision. e:gardenmamma I agree that those of who have to pay bills would…
- pmrk on paul’s “Italians are not white?” oh oh I'm 100% Sicilian, I think I have been checking the wrong race box all my life. I think I'm the whitest Sicilian around. LOL
- pmrk on paul’s “So stressed out about New York” My hubby said that the VA Administration Offices downtown will be hiring 80 - 100 people soon including some IT positions. USAJOBS.COM will have the postings when they come out. He's a work study down there and hears all kinds of things si…
- pmrk on imk2’s “obama is white” The ethnic check box on forms bugs my husband too. He is biracial and generally ends up choosing Hispanic over white because it is often the choice that benefits us the most - ie: school financial aid.
- pmrk on gardenmama’s “Quite an event” Congrats. What a pretty ring!
- pmrk on pmrk’s “Halloween is here!” e:paul we get LOADS of kids, potentially I will need drugs by the time we're done handing out candy.
- pmrk on jim’s “Thermostat Poll” 62 from 8:00am - 5:00pm 68 from 5:00pm - 10:00pm - sometimes 70 if its really chilly in the house 65 from 10:00pm to 5:00am 68 from 5:00am - 8:00am we have a boiler so it takes a little bit to get the house warmed up so I don't program hug…
- pmrk on tinypliny’s “A Sequence of Haircutters” I have no idea what he charges for a haircut. If I see Patrick this week, I will ask him.
- pmrk on jim’s “Green Thumb” I'd a recommend a snake plant aka Mother In Laws Tongue. They don't like a lot of water or too much light. I water mine every 2 weeks or sometimes once per month. Pothos plants are fairly tolerant of many light conditions, they prefer indi…
- pmrk on tinypliny’s “A Sequence of Haircutters” My friend and neighbor Patrick owns East End Salon on Allen Street near Main. He does an excellent job on my husbands hair which can be difficult as its very thick and kinda curly. I also recommended him to e:Matthew but I don't know if he…
- pmrk on fellyconnelly’s “Survey and halloween” I forgot to add that I grew up on the west side and have shopped for a long time at Guercio's. If the old Italian Grandmas shop there its a good sign. :-) The Ni Hoowa Supermarket on Sheridan has a good and reasonably priced selection of A…
- pmrk on fellyconnelly’s “Survey and halloween” The Farmers market at Bidwell and Elmwood often has reasonably priced seasonal produce. We shop there weekly. It helps to know your prices. All summer red bell peppers were 75 cents each at the Farmers as compared to $3.99 a lb at Wegmans.…
- pmrk on pmrk’s “More gardens” I love my garden and we're expanding it next year. We also have a shared garden with our neighbors Bob and James.They have more space and have been giving us lots of peppers (hot and sweet) all season long along with squash and roma tomato…
