Uses For Our Roasting PanUse this to also get your team excited about Sept. Can't take credit for this one except I knew enough to save it in my files.
 
Yes this is a good one (I am pretty sure it was someone on Chef Success). I use this from time to time too - cookware sale, fairs... It will definitely be at my September shows!

Thanks for bringing it to the top again.
 
WHat's funny is I originally made this one and it looks like the font made it to that one!!
 
I was in my yard a little bit ago and thought I saw a bumble bee. I realized it was a black and yellow striped spider. It had the perfectly designed spiders web, with long, hairy jointed legs. Anyone have any idea what kind it might be? I've never seen one like it before. I'm in Minnesota if that gives any clue.

Black and Yellow Argiope Spider

Was it this?
 
Wow! That could be it! I'll go take another look. Are they harmful? It's located just off the back porch steps.

--Jenny L
 
Man, I really dislike spiders!

I went back out and looked. That is the spider. I googled it, pretty creepy when you see 10 of them on the page! They say they lay their eggs in the fall, do I want to leave them be or kill them? They're called garden spiders.

--Jenny L
 
Now I'll have the heebie jeebies all night! LOL! If they're not posionous and they are OUTSIDE, I do leave them alone. They're great for catching the "other" unwanted bugs....
 
It is that time for spiders again. My house and yard seem to be under attack. There have been several people I know who have received a lovely bite. My daughter pulled a pair of pants out of the closet, put them on and when she put her hand in the back to fix the band she got bit. Not a poison spider, but it still hurts to be bit. I think when the boys go to Colorado next week I will fog the house and see if I can get rid of them.

My parents had one of these outside their house. I thought I was going to pass out when I saw it. My family teases me because I can't even tolerate fake spiders. That is my biggest fear ever!!! EEEWWWWW!!!!!!:yuck:
 
it is a common garden spider, they will not bite and they will not come inside
We have about 30 of them in all of our flower beds. they are huge. I have one in my Althea bush and every time a hummingbird comes he tries to lure her in.

If anyone saw Martha Stewart yesterday the state park with the famous web is 20 miles from here we camped there last weekend. oh my gosh the stench of dead bugs was unreal. I forget how big it is, it was on the news here for several days, seems like it is 300 yards wide.
We do however have black widows, we have to be careful when we are on our gazebo or patio and we frequently find them in our bathroom.
 
While I am not a fan of spiders...I do not kill them. I don't kill crickets either......actually all bugs are safe from me EXCEPT cockroaches. I have seen some HUGE roaches...some that actually fly and I cannot stand them. All roaches die at my home.................
 
The only good spider is a dead spider. Period. ICKY.

Can I just say BORIC ACID!!!!!!!!:yuck:
 
I ended up taking down the web. The spider ran into the hostas to live another day.

Kristin, what's up with the boric acid? I agree with leaving them alone if they are outside, but inside I think they are fair game. If their bodies are small enough that I don't think they will splat!!!!

--Jenny L
 
I don't mind splat. I get a little oogy with crunch.
