Broke da mouth: Dis flower shop get amazing mandoo - Frolic Hawaii

Stone out. She wuz being modest, just like da mom Linda from "The Joy Luck Club."I flashbacked to da scene where da haole guy Rich comes over to dinner for meet da Asian parents of his girlfriend Waverly played by Tamlyn Tomita. For da final dish da mom insults her own dish, cuz it's da dish that she serves with special pride. And not knowing this Rich tries it and says, "All this needs is a little soy sauce." An'den everybody stay all in shock when he pours shoyu over da whole ting. Lol.I tink I made Yong Stone happy that I sampled 'em without da sauce. Yong Stone's mandoos not only look like miniature works of art, but they're also super delicious as well. Both versions look like get mushroom, sweet potato starch noodles, round onion and green onions inside. And I wuz impressed that da chicken one had minced chicken as opposed to ground chicken. Yong said that more people like da pork/beef one, but she makes da chicken one too because she likes to make healthy food. You not going get Yong Stone for say anything nice about her own mandoo. But trust me, das how you know it's really good. Nomonomoono!Mandoo for sale Monday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., $1.50 each.A.C.

Business at local flower grower Three Little Buds is blooming - My Buckhannon

She said her husband jokingly told her she could not grow any more flowers until she took part of her bounty to a local florist to see if they would be interesting in purchasing some of her blossoms.A market-style bouquet of flowers grown and arranged by local flower grower Joanna Webb. / Photo courtesy Joanna Webb“I had always kicked around the idea of selling flowers to local florists,” Webb said. “So, I took some of my dahlias to Anita’s Flowers of Buckhannon, and they told me they would love to buy local flowers.”She said she learned on the fly about growing flowers and started growing ones she found most beautiful.“I like the market bouquet-style of flowers,” Webb said. “With COVID coming in when most of the flowers were blooming, most of the florists were closed, and I had all of these flowers, so I offered subscriptions for monthly or twice a month bouquets, and I was overwhelmed.”Webb said her business is evolving and expanding, and so is her growing area.“Three Little Buds is named after my kiddos, who are two, five and seven,” Webb said. “I just love growing things and want to grow flowers for my community.”Webb said she feels the flowers she grows lend themselves to wedding work, noting Anita’s Flowers is a perfect fit because they often provide bouquets and other floral décor for weddings.An example of the arrangements Three Little Buds Flowers offers. / Photo courtesy Joanna Webb“Last year, I took flowers to Tammy’s Bridal and Floral in Elkins and JoJo’s in Elkins, but this year I have been too ... https://www.mybuckhannon.com/business-at-local-flower-grower-three-little-buds-is-blooming/

'A natural partnership': Mustard Seed partners with florist for special pop-up - Clarion Ledger

AM EDT Aug 19, 2020Vases splashed with color by artists at a local nonprofit looked even more vibrant when filled with fresh flowers during a popup shop in Ridgeland.Carly McKie, manager of Green Oak Florist in Ridgeland, invited the Mustard Seed, a community in Brandon for adults with developmental disabilities, to show its creations and join forces for the popup.“It was a natural partnership,” McKie said. “There’s so much creativity put into each piece created at the Mustard Seed. No two are alike.”Pink Gerbera daisies, yellow tulips and other brightly colored blossoms looked right at home in the vases, jars and containers the participants at the Mustard Seed, who are fondly known as “Seedsters,” painted with dots and dashes and swirls and stripes.“All of the vases we had previewed sold in the first hour, and the Mustard Seed had to bring in several more boxes of pots, vases, pitchers, and utensil holders,” McKie said. “It was an incredible day connecting with the community and bringing smiles to people’s faces.”The pop-up marked the first time Mustard Seed partnered with a florist for an event showcasing its creations filled with fresh flowers, said Kaitlin Childress, volunteer coordinator at the Mustard Seed.The Mustard Seed closed its campus an... https://www.clarionledger.com/story/magnolia/upside/2020/08/19/mustard-seed-green-oak-pop-up/3289607001/

Ham Lake couple trust God as they grow family flower farm business - The Catholic Spirit

The Carlstroms were thinking produce and chickens when, in the winter of 2019, Kristen came across a book titled “The Cut Flower Garden” by Erin Benzakein, a florist farmer in Washington.“Basically, I just fell in love with it,” Kristen said. “It was kind of out of the blue for me.”She had always kept a small flower garden with sunflowers and zinnias, but nothing large-scale. But once she began to think about flowers, she became convinced that was the direction she wanted to move.“I knew we were going to take on something really big,” she said. “It was really important for me to be really passionate about it. And so, this was something that just really took a hold of me. And I had so much energy with thinking of doing really hard stuff to make it happen.”She and Jonah took Benzakein’s online course on flower farming, and dove into researching what would grow well in Minnesota’s climate. “Before we knew it, we’re like, we’re really doing it,” she said.Jonah gives Kristen all the credit for the flower focus. “I never thought I would be a flower farmer — I don’t think many men do think of that,” Jonah said, sitting near the field. He agreed to the online course, “and I was just sort of open with the Lord; ‘Wherever you lead us.’”“Ever since leaving school, I wanted to do something in nature. I love working outside. I’ve been praying along the way” for God’s guidance, he said. “Basically, I want to come home and I want to work from home.”The Carlstroms don’t know any other young farmers, but they’re not alone among Catholic millennials. Jim Ennis, executive director of St. Paul-based Catholic Rural Life, said there are like-minded young Catholics across the United States who are exploring and adopting a rural lifestyle, including small-scale farming. Many are drawn to a slower, family-focused pace of life away from the demands of city living and corporate work.Like the Carlstroms, many don’t have farming backgrounds, Ennis said, and it’s hard work without the guarantee of financial sustainability. But it’s rewarding, he said. Farming is creative work, where people can work in nature, with their hands, alongside family members, for the benefit of their own tables and their community. And even young children can see, understand and participate in their parents’ work, he said.“There’s something very innate in many people’s DNA to connect with God’s creation in a closer way,” he said, “and I think that’s very Catholic and very Christian.”Kristen admits that sometimes she’s thought the idea of turning stay-at-home mom to cut-flower florist is “crazy.” But, “there was a lot of discouragement that came whenever I tried to let it (the idea) go, and a lot of joy that was there when we kept pursuing it,” she said, so they forged ahead.The field is easily accessible from the Carlstroms’ house through a path in the woods. Kristen spends patches of time throughout the day tending its 20, 100-foot rows as she learns to orchestrate timing their harvesting with flowers’ longevity onc... https://thecatholicspirit.com/news/local-news/ham-lake-couple-trust-god-as-they-grow-family-flower-farm-business/
