I also used to buy Martha Stewart's Everyday Food, which is small like Reader's Digest. My problem is how to store them all? I don't have time to look through 25 magazines to find something for dinner :PMelissaDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08555093208187975555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-89913321735227572682012-04-20T08:47:12.774-07:002012-04-20T08:47:12.774-07:00I love any kind of magazine.

Like you, I grew up with the fear of a slow and hideous death at the hand of "pork worms". <br />It's interesting the things that really take root in a person's mind and won't be swayed even if a "toxic" situation changes... I loathe oleander bushes because when I was a kid we had one in our yard and my mom had us convinced that we would die if we even went near the thing (the blooms are poisonous if ingested). To me they were the devil's botany for sure. I steered clear of those pink flowers and the demon bush they grew on, keeping a wary eye out for any wayward flowers that might have fallen to the ground. <br />So, flash forward a few decades... about ten years ago my mom bought a dozen oleanders and planted them along the fence at the house that she was currently living in. I shrieked in horror, "Oleanders! Why would you plant those?! They're horrible!" She said, "No they're not, I like them." I reminded her of how she put the fear of death into my sister and me regarding those sinister blossoms, and she laughed and said, "Yeah, you were kids. I had to protect you from yourselves." <br />As for me, I will never buy an oleander. They are still the plant of evil. Curse those poisonous blossoms. They're out to get me, I'm sure of it. :) <br />I love the magazine group that publishes Apronology. Have you seen their magazine called Altered? It shows you how to take clothing that you already have and change it up by adding embellishments, or completely remaking it by taking it apart and reconstructing it with any number of things like lace or ribbon or parts of other items of clothing. Very creative stuff. You know me, I'm always figuring how to add tulle or lace to something.Leslie Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-81505748690446305632012-04-19T12:57:30.247-07:002012-04-19T12:57:30.247-07:00I am definately a magaphile!!! I have Quilter'...I am definately a magaphile!!! I have Quilter's Newsletter Magazines since the 70's. Until lately I've subscribed to Quilt Maker Magazine, but there has been a change in our income, and those type of outgoes have had to change, too. Now we are both retired, and subscriptions are a thing of the past. Now when I grocery shop I look at my favorite magazines, there really isn't that much new under the sun, and I can leave the magazine for someone who does not have the library that I do.<br />I am also a hearty "NO" to pink pork! No pink meat at my house.<br /><br />to Susan #1 on the list of comments: I loved Woman's Day and Family Circle in the days when they were 25cents. There were some really good crafts in those magazines... I still have some of their "101 things to make for Christmas" articles ripped out and saved. If I had to pay $1 now, I'd still want those magazines, if they were as crafty as before... but alas, they are different now.<br />Hugs to you both,Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927552672720816359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-16956199761221352092012-04-19T08:08:36.627-07:002012-04-19T08:08:36.627-07:00I have boxes of magazines that I swear I'll pi...I have boxes of magazines that I swear I'll pitch only to find myself thumbing through & can't part with them. Have lots of Country Home which no longer is printed. Country Gardens also.<br />Used to subscribe to Redbook so I could read the mini novel in the back. I pick up whatever looks good; always check out Midwest Living (I'm in IL)& depends if I'm dieting whatever other food magazines. The library has several so sometimes I read theirs & then buy if I think it's a good one.Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-14704354946692695042012-04-19T07:47:54.006-07:002012-04-19T07:47:54.006-07:00While visiting my husband's grandmother, she a...While visiting my husband's grandmother, she asked us to through out some stuff upstairs that she didn't want any more. One was a box of old sewing patterns. Needless to say that since she is 101 I knew there would be some very good vintage patterns inside. There were a few old apron patterns and some of them were on old newspapers that I'm sure farmers wives had shared with her. She lived on a farm her entire life and the neighbors shared everything.Catherine Holmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177333835151082088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-64150347082663771842012-04-19T07:37:11.412-07:002012-04-19T07:37:11.412-07:00I like regional decorating magazines (for some rea...I like regional decorating magazines (for some reason our Target was carrying some Midwestern Decorating for a couple months).

All I could realistically afford in magazines. I only subscribe to two and am getting really miffed because it used to be when you had a subscription, it arrived before the mag came out in the book stores and groceries. Now I see that mag at checkout for almost 2 weeks before my subscription arrives. Frustrating. As for pink pork, I have been following the Barefoot Contessa recommendations. Take pork off the flame at 138 degrees. This is much less cooking than in years past, but I like it. I would not say it is pink, but it certainly isn't gray. Give it a try.Schnitzel and the Trouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074542460030763545noreply@blogger.com
