Preparation With many flowers, what you buy is what you get: Red roses are red roses; yellow gerbera daisies are yellow gerbera daisies. But bigleaf hydrangeas are different: If you purchase a pink one, you can change it into a blue one—and a blue bigleaf hydrangea can turn to pink. According to Ryan McEnaney, the public relations and communications specialist for Bailey Nurseries, bigleaf hydrangeas’ changing colors are attributed to the pH of the soil they are grown in—and luckily, there are easy things you can do to manipulate your soil’s acidity if you prefer one color over another....
Preparation Granite and quartz-two luxurious and long-lasting countertop options that can be difficult to choose between thanks to their comparable price points and long list of advantages. Or, as Antonia Marinucci, an architect and designer in Cleveland, Ohio, describes from her own experience: “Whether a veined quartz or a speckled granite, both options have a depth that is lacking in a solid surface product. They’re considered high-end, desirable materials-status finishes, if you will-but they’re also practical choices with very few disadvantages....
Preparation When baked into a pie or balanced on a sundae, cherries are as iconic as the American flag. But these small stone fruits, which happen to be Martha’s favorite, also offer antioxidants and vitamins when eaten fresh. Enjoy them during the summer, which is when they’re at their plumpest and most plentiful. They come in sweet and tart (also known as sour) varieties, and you’ll find that most cherries have ruby hues that come from ultra-high levels of anthocyanins, a powerful antioxidant....
Preparation Ready for Natural Fermentation 101? We consulted Kathryn Lukas, the founder of Farmhouse Culture, a small organic sauerkraut company in northern California, to share the tricks of the trade for making sauerkraut at home. Let’s start with a little of the science: Letting the cabbage ferment at room temperature invites beneficial bacteria to grow. These microorganisms feed on sugars in the vegetables and raise levels of lactic acid, giving fermented foods their tang while also preserving them....
Do you eat kale? If you say “what’s kale?”, you are not alone. I’ve never heard of it growing up in Japan, and even after I moved to the States. I never actually ate kale until 2 years ago. I saw many kale recipes on food blogs and one day I gave it a try and I really liked it. I’ve made kale chips and Kale Soup before and this time I made this delicious Mango Kale Salad....

We’ll introduce Nagasaki over three posts: Nagasaki Travel Guide – covering historical sites Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum and Peace Park Where and What to eat in Nagasaki...
Preparation Here are some techniques for needle-felting fabric with felt cutouts, roving, and yarn (100 percent wool materials work best). Regardless of the technique you choose, you’ll always start by placing a felting-needle mat under the fabric, and punching up and down using a single felting needle or a multineedle tool. A larger mat minimizes repositioning. Clean out wool fibers as they collect. Both sides of felted fabric are attractive, so test on a swatch to see which you like best....

Preparation Sprouting in beautiful shades of yellow, orange, and white, daffodils are an early sign that spring has sprung. The perennial flower—which has been cultivated for hundreds of years—is one of the easiest and most popular bulbs to grow. “Daffodils are very low maintenance,” says Juliet Del Rio, community outreach and marketing manager of Bob’s Garden Center. “They can easily grow wild in the woods!” Despite how straightforward daffodils are to maintain, it’s still possible for home gardeners to make mistakes when caring for the spring bloom....

In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Tingle turned to Sakara’s plant-based meals to look and feel her best on the big day-which actually inspired the company’s new package just for brides....
