Would toothpicks stuck in styrofoam or other such material work for that?

Too cute! LOL!
Your pictures are scrumptious ETL!
Good you’re tempting me too!
Good job though. It makes the V Thread;)
Thank you for taking care of this thread!
I think that’s a great idea - stick the toothpick up under the leaves, where the hole won’t be seen. I hadn’t thought of that, and I’ll try it.
Somehow, I had the notion that Shari must have some arrangement that hangs the strawberries by the stem in a ‘clothesline’ way :-)
It’s the thought that counts!! They look so yummy.
Mmmmm, I want to hear about that cake! Once I made that Easter butter mold Dish from Russia that is deadly and Rich and luscious. Forgot what it was called.
Are you on the ping list?
Great to see you, Jt!
Thank You!
I’m very glad that my patient is doing much better, and is back in his own house, with things looking up.
I’ll continue next week, Thursday or Friday; and I want to thank Yaelle and CottonBall for their great efforts on this thread.

I heard another one a couple years ago that ~worries me: ground black pepper never leaves your intestines, it’s indigestible. I grind black pepper on ranch dressing which both go on everything. ;0
They held down the fort for ya.. I lurked because I’ve been off my feed lately.. but I’m dreaming and planning BBQing huge chunks of meat now...
Well, you must tell us all about your rubs, sauces, and technique :-)
I don’t know .. But, I don’t remember seeing a “cooking” thread before .. so, if I’m not on the ping list - I would like to be.
And .. if you have younger children who are learning to cook, they can help .. and it’s a fun lesson for them.
I just showed “Lady & the Tramp” to my special needs kids & they loved it!
JT, can you please add CyberAnt to the ping list?
Yes, I really want one of my kids to love to cook. I keep trying. Just watched Master Chef Junior last night and am always amazed at what kids can do.
I’m glad your patient is doing much better as well! It’s been a pleasure subbing for you. I look forward to jumping onto your thread next week!
CyberAnt has been added!

Yaelle & Cottonball, thanks so much for keeping the thread going & doing such a wonderful job. JT, glad things are looking up your way.
I love the friend/family feeling of this thread & the great ideas I get from everyone.
