The orange flowers shown in the video were called butterfly weed. They were popular with visitors to the garden.

Anybody else have any

Leah Shaffer — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 16:22:53 -0600

Anybody else have any romance novels they'd recommend? I've never really tried the genre. I think the closest thing I've read that resembles a romance is "Bridget Jones's Diary."

Ouch: I hadn't actually read

Ouch: I hadn't actually read the entire Upton quote. I feel bad for the kid. She was probably just very nervous.

I think you're golden if

I think you're golden if you give out full-size candy bars. There's one house in our neighborhood that does, and all the kids were talking about it.

Wow, 30 cents for a burger.

I'd be willing to recreate this little journalistic experiment any time. And I do like hamburgers :)

Thanks to my husband

Thanks to my husband handing over his stash of gum (we had about 30 packs), the ghosts and goblins in our neighborhood didn't have to be subjected to me cleaning out the pantry since I forgot to pick up any candy.

I suggested everything from packets of soy sauce or cocoa to Little Debbie snack cakes or cans of corn (we bought a case a Sams Club) but he feared for the safety of our house and vehicles.

I tried to peak into the goodie bags to see what the neighbors were giving out but I couldn't see in too well.

I've always wondered what kids consider to be the "jackpot" treat. When we were kids, one of the houses handed out "Bubs Daddy" bubble gum. It was about a foot long and bigger around than a pencil and kids lined up down the block to get up the steps to that house. The owner used a marker to mark the hands of the kids who got one so they couldn't go through the line again. She also had about every inch of her yard and porch decorated so there was a lot of cool stuff to look at while you waited.

Most popular stop at Eden

Most popular stop at Eden Prairie Center yesterday? It looked like the music was extremely popular in center court -- and there was a long line outside Flash photography to get a free picture.

Castle Ridge had some great candy too -- Hershey bars, bags of Cheetos.

Did you get something fun while trick-or-treating yesterday? What was the No. 1 item in your trick-or-treat bag?

It’s not really summer

Leah Shaffer — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 14:22:11 -0500

It’s not really summer unless I’ve frozen my brain at least once by inhaling a slushie, a.k.a. Slurpee, a.k.a. syrup-laden ice drink.

Anybody out there planning

Leah Shaffer — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 14:36:37 -0500

Anybody out there planning to see the Nancy Drew movie? As the "girl detective" genre goes, I'd rather catch an episode of the now-defunct Veronica Mars.
