Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips is no longer in Missouri but it still has two free-standing locations in Ohio. It once was a large chain across the country. I still recall the one off of 71 Highway in Kansas City, Missouri that used to be behind the once-popular Truman Corners Shopping Center. It was my mother's go-to spot for fish & chips. That was a long time ago.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Aphids, also known as plant lice, are small, sap-sucking insects that belong to the superfamily Aphidoidea. They are one of the most common pests found in gardens and agricultural fields around the world. These tiny insects can cause significant damage to plants by feeding on their sap, which can lead to stunted growth, yellowing of leaves, and the transmission of plant diseases. Let's look at the different types of aphids, their lifecycle, the damage they can cause, and how to control and prevent infestations.

Growing cucumbers is one of my favorite things to do in the summer. They are easy to grow and everyone in my family loves to eat them. When it comes to gardening and preserving, few delights are as universally cherished as the cucumber. This versatile vegetable offers the freshest crunch in salads and the tangiest bite in pickles. It's no wonder cucumbers have earned their place as a staple in home gardens, thanks to their versatility and ease of growth.
