Question: My Shasta daisies have almost finished blooming. When is the best time to divide? - Eric Schiller, Placerville
Answer: Shasta daisy, Chrysanthemum maximum, is a wonderful perennial from the Pyrenees, with long-lasting white flowers, a gold center and leathery leaves, growing 2 to 4 feet tall. They like the sun but do well with some partial shade. The new hybrids have unusual yellow centers but with larger, better formed, flowers. They come in single, double, quilled and shaggy-flowered forms. They are easy to grow from seeds which are available in most seed catalogs.

They mate for life. Both pigeon parents feed the young-and not just their own. They care for any hungry babies in the colony. Humans won't care for other people's kids unless there's money in it. And you don't see any baby pigeons because their protective parents keep them in the nest till they're grown up and ready to fly.
I may be nuts, but I'm not unrealistic. I know my chances of convincing the city's would-be bird killers to quickly change their minds and embrace the pigeon is slim. I also know that without intervention, these underrated animals we've introduced to our cities-where there's ample food and shelter, and no predators but us-are just gonna keep on annoying us, especially as their populations keep increasing.
I'm not opposed to controlling the population. And neither is ...

Stuffing or dressing
The purpose of stuffing the turkey is to engulf the delicious flavors of the turkey released during baking, but for safety reasons, not everyone is comfortable with baking the stuffing in the turkey. To kill any bacteria, be sure the turkey and stuffing are cooked completely.

Don't throw that out!
* Make stock with the turkey carcass. You don't need a recipe - just cover the carcass with water in a tall stockpot, then add any or all of the following: an onion (with the skin on), half a peeled carrot, a stalk of celery, a handful of fresh parsley, a sprig of fresh thyme, a bay leaf, 6 to 8 peppercorns. Let everything simmer 4 to 6 hours and strain. Cook the strained stock further to intensify the flavor, if desired.

MY GIRL...I'm sitting here, it's night, I've got a jazz station from Vancouver playing on Windows Media (forgive me Gary Hamada and George Fuller at KRML Jazz and Blues Radio in Carmel, home to the best honking music anywhere, that's a fact. It's just that I don't really know how to download the player I need on the Web site to stream your wonderful station into my ears, and now's not the time to figure it out).
I called my little pachooka "Sarita Mein Sweetah," after I heard my man Papi, a Uraguayan guy I worked with in restaurants back in NYC, call her "Sarita." She's been through a lot that girl o' mine, and now she's entering the phase of adulthood just after college, when it's either on with school, out to work, chill and figure things out, or D) all of the above. Congratulations S...
