March is the month where two of my cooking challenges collide.  The March Food52 Cookbook Club book is "Deep Run Roots."  I've been cooking through it for awhile now with my friends back in VA.

Two years ago, before we moved to Guam, we celebrated my birthday with a road-trip to Kinston, NC and ate at "The Chef and the Farmer" and also "The Boiler Room".  It was one of those memories I will never forget.  I had watched all of the episodes of "A Chef's Life" on PBS and felt like I knew Vivian.  Her food was amazing.  So of course, when she came out with her first cookbook, I had to have it. My friends and I have been tackling the chapters one at a time, saving the summer foods for, well, summer.  February was "Ground Corn" month and so I chose to make the "Pimento Cheese Grits with Salsa and Chips"  (you can find a similar version of hers here).  I'm a New England girl, y'all... the first time I ever had grits was at the Chef and the Farmer and no one was more surprised than I was when I absolutely fell in love with the 'Dirty Grits' with sausage and chicken livers (pictured above).

I promise that I speak the truth when I say that I intended to make the pimento from scratch, from the recipe that is also in the book.  I have a jar of pimentos in my pantry to prove it.  But really, now... did I honestly think the Commissary here would carry white cheddar?  When I saw the $1.50 container of ready-made pimento cheese, I grabbed it.

I started out with the grits in a homemade double-boiler.  After the recommended time, they still hadn't really thickened, so I put them directly on the heat and that did the trick perfectly.

I transferred them to a cast iron pan and dropped spoonfuls of pimento cheese on top, then spread it (do not try the wax paper tip from Vivian with store-bought, it's too sticky and wet to roll out) and popped it in the oven. At this point, it was time to make the 'salsa'... which I would call more of a pico de gallo.  The 'tomatoes' we get here are notoriously awful.  Barely orange on the shelf, refrigerated, and don't even think about letting them ripen because they'll be a soft mess in about 12 hours.  But I bought a couple just for this recipe, chopped up some purple onion, threw in a couple of frozen cilantro/evoo cubes, and called it good. The cheesy grits came out of the oven as bubbly goodness and I added the salsa on top.  It just seems wrong, but I served it with "Hint of Lime" chips (our favorite), and called the family to try.  We literally stood at the counter, scooping directly from the hot pan on the stove until the bag of chips was almost gone.  It was truly that good.  Even the picky 13 year old scooped around the onions and wolfed it down. I will say it's better served warm than cold, but that didn't keep me from finishing off the leftovers straight out of the fridge.  This would make a great appetizer, assuming you are hosting the party and can serve it warm, or you know your hostess well and can heat it in her oven before serving.  I don't think it would travel well after cooking.

The next time I make it, I think I will only use half of the grits called for (or double the salsa) because I think I would prefer that ratio better.  But none the less, this one is another winner.

"A Beautiful Garden is a Work of the Heart"

Welcome to This Month in the Garden! I have been feeling a bit nostalgic and with the craziness of the world have been thinking a lot about life in general. It seemed like a good time for some reflection on how I got into gardening in the first place, the events that lead to this blog fifteen years ago this past February, and how writing this blog eventually lead to becoming an author. It all started a long time ago at the age of five and the paths of life led the way.

"They who Plant Gardens Reap Happiness"

I grew up next door to with a family of five children that became like siblings and their mom had been an avid gardener all her life. She would take me on tours of her collection of blooms and teach me about each one. One day I returned home and asked my mother for seeds and pots so that I could grow some flowers. That lead to future plantings, the planting of my first tree with my dad and a love of gardening and respect for horticulture that grew even more pronounced as I aged. You would find me digging in the dirt planting annuals, perennials and eventually shrubs and trees, and watching them grow as I nurtured them. In my adult years, I had been teaching high school science as a first career and in 1996, I decided to return to school for horticulture and then started up a landscape design business. After retiring from teaching, landscape design has became a second full time career.

"Plays in the Dirt!"

"A Garden Brings Hope"

Gardening both outdoors and in and helping others with their gardening endeavors has become a major portion of my life, is what defines me, and I hope to be able to garden for as long as I am able. I hope you enjoyed my story and I invite you to share your gardening adventures in the comments. As a lifetime gardener with a passion for all things green, there are words that I live by (and which I even named a book after), Dream, Garden, Grow!

I hope you enjoyed This Month in the Garden! Are you a gardener? If so, how did you get into gardening? Have you been a gardener all your life?  I would love to hear your story!

Hey folks, just wanted to share something useful for anyone looking for a good DevOps Course in Pune. Like many of you, I was searching for a course that wasn’t just about watching videos or rushing through lessons. I needed something practical and easy to understand. Most of the places I looked at didn’t really focus on hands-on learning. They just listed tools but didn’t explain how they connect together in a real DevOps job. That’s when I kept searching and found something better.

I ended up checking out SevenMentor and their course page felt very real and complete. They’ve got a solid structure that includes Git, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, and cloud stuff too. They don’t skip the basics either, which helped me a lot since I wasn’t from a strong coding background. I also noticed that they have training centers in different Pune areas like Shivaji Nagar, Deccan, Hadapsar, and Pimpri, so reaching class was not a problem for most people. It felt like they had really thought about everything.

In my experience, I did multiple courses in Pune but SevenMentor provided the best one when it comes to real learning. Their trainer made the topics very simple and used real-life examples. We weren’t just watching, we were actually doing things like setting up pipelines and using Docker in class. That really helped me understand how these tools work in the real world. They also made sure we didn’t feel lost, even if something was hard to understand in the beginning.

Another great thing is how helpful their site is. You can book a free demo class, download the course syllabus, or even get a callback for your questions. The course also comes with interview support and job guidance, which not many other places offer. I found the flow of the course very beginner-friendly. We didn’t jump into tough topics on day one. It started with basics and moved ahead slowly, which worked well for me and others in the class too.

So if you're like me and want a good start in DevOps with real training, I’d say take a look at this DevOps Course in Pune. Try out their demo class and you’ll get a fair idea of how they teach. There are many courses out there, but this one really helped me feel confident with DevOps tools and skills. Hope my review helps someone out here who’s still confused about where to start.

Hey everyone, I recently came across a DevOps course that really impressed me, and I thought it would be great to talk about it here for anyone who is thinking about entering the DevOps field. The training page was clear, well-designed, and didn’t feel overwhelming like most tech course websites. It walked me through each section of the course with real simplicity, from the basics of version control to advanced practices like infrastructure automation, CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and more. I liked how each topic was broken down for better understanding, especially for someone like me who prefers learning step-by-step.

One thing I liked most was the way they focus on building real, hands-on skills instead of only talking about concepts. They offer live instructor-led classes along with regular assignments and project work, which I think is the right mix for solid learning. You get to apply what you learn during the course itself. Also, they’ve made it easier for beginners to follow along with simple explanations, use-case-based teaching, and clear guidance on how each tool fits into actual industry workflows. That helped me picture how companies use DevOps in real-time.

Right in the middle of the course page, there’s a section that discusses placements and career growth. That part really caught my attention. The DevOps Course in Pune includes help with interview prep, mock interviews, resume support, and even job referrals. That shows how serious they are about getting their students hired. I found this part especially useful because many learners, including me, don’t just want to learn the tools, but also want help in getting a job or switching roles smoothly. This course seems to offer that full circle of support.

Another helpful point is their flexible learning setup. They offer both classroom sessions and an online option, which is a plus if you're working or can’t always travel. All classes are recorded and made available after live sessions, so you won’t miss anything even if your schedule gets tight. They also provide support in case you have questions or need to revise something later. And yes, the certifications you get after completing the course are industry-recognized, so you can use them to upgrade your profile confidently.

Overall, I found the page super informative and friendly. It gives you a very clear picture of what you’re getting and makes you feel like you’ll be supported throughout your learning journey. If you're thinking about improving your skills or starting fresh in the DevOps world, this DevOps Course in Pune might be one of the best options out there. I’m glad I came across it and hope this post helps others who are exploring similar learning paths.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my journey with DevOps training in case it helps someone here. Like many of you, I was searching for a good course to build my career and learn the right skills. I went through many websites and reviews, but most places didn’t seem clear about what they actually teach. Then I found one training program that explained everything clearly, from the tools they cover to how they support students. That really stood out for me, so I gave it a try.

The course started with Linux basics and slowly moved into tools like Git, Docker, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Ansible, and Terraform. They also teach cloud with AWS, which is super important in DevOps Classes in Pune. What I liked most was how every tool came with practicals and small projects. They gave us lab support and even extra recorded videos to help us practice after class. Everything was made easy to understand, which is perfect for beginners or people like me who are starting fresh.

In my experience I did multiples courses in Pune but SevenMentor provides the best one. Their trainers explain everything in simple words and always check if everyone is following. You’re never left alone, even after class. You can message them and they reply quickly with help. They are also friendly and easy to talk to, so I never felt nervous about asking questions. It really felt like learning from a friend instead of a strict teacher.

They also focus on job support which I think is very important. They helped us make our resumes better and prepared us for interviews with mock sessions. I saw on their site that they even give soft skill training and it’s true. They gave tips on how to talk in interviews and how to share your project work. These small things helped me feel more ready and confident. The course is not just about tools, it’s about preparing you fully for a job.

So if any of you are searching for DevOps Classes in Pune, make sure you choose a course that gives full training and support. Don’t just look at the name or price. Look at what they teach, how they teach, and if they care about your success. I’m happy I found one that made me feel ready and strong about my future. If you need help or want to know more, I’m always here to chat.

Hello everyone, I wanted to share something useful with you all here. I recently completed a DevOps training program that really helped me grow. I was searching online for a reliable course, and that’s when I came across a page that explained everything clearly about the tools and career path. The course included Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, and even Git, which are all very important today. I knew from the moment I read it that this course was well planned and built with real knowledge.

One thing I liked most was the way the trainer explained each tool step by step. We were not just listening, we were doing it ourselves during the class. That really helped me learn faster. Also, the practical sessions made sure we were not left behind. Whether it was setting up pipelines or learning about containers, we did it all hands-on. That kind of learning experience is what made this course feel very different from others I’ve taken in the past.

The support we got was also great. If anyone had a doubt, the trainer would give extra time even after class. They shared notes, video recordings, and assignments regularly. I never felt lost or confused because help was always there. Even the batch size was small, which made the sessions more personal. You get to ask questions freely, and that’s something I really liked about the setup. It doesn’t feel like a crowded class, it feels more like a group of learners supporting each other.

Another great part was how they prepared us for interviews. We did mock interviews and also worked on real-time use cases. They even helped in improving our resumes. When they say job support is included, they actually mean it. It’s not just about teaching DevOps Classes in Pune, it’s also about shaping you as a professional. That’s something not every course gives. I think anyone who wants to start their career or switch to DevOps should really look into this kind of course.

If anyone is looking for DevOps Classes in Pune, I think this one is worth checking. The course is beginner-friendly but also deep enough for people who already know the basics. I joined it with little knowledge, and now I feel confident to apply for DevOps roles. I hope this helps someone who’s searching for a good place to start, just like I was. Feel free to reply if you’ve had similar experiences or have questions, happy to help.

Damp proofing is a method used to prevent moisture from entering the walls and floors of buildings. Dampness in a home can lead to Damp Proofing Conway serious problems like mold, peeling paint, musty smells, and even structural damage over time. That’s why damp proofing is an important part of maintaining a healthy and safe property.

Common Causes of Damp There are a few common reasons why damp can affect a property:

Rising Damp: Moisture from the ground travels up through walls if there is no proper barrier.

Penetrating Damp: Rainwater enters through walls, roofs, or windows due to cracks or poor construction.

Condensation: Happens when moist air touches cold surfaces, like windows or walls, and turns into water.

How Damp Proofing Works Damp proofing can be done in several ways, depending on the type of damp and the condition of the property. Some common methods include:

Damp Proof Course (DPC): A special layer (usually of plastic or slate) built into walls to stop rising damp.

Damp Proof Membrane (DPM): A waterproof sheet placed under floors to prevent moisture from rising.

Wall Coatings and Sealants: Special paints and coatings applied to walls to block moisture.

Improving Ventilation: Installing vents or fans to reduce condensation and moisture build-up.

Benefits of Damp Proofing Protects your home from damage

Prevents mold and health issues

Improves air quality and comfort

Increases the value of your property

Do You Need Damp Proofing? If you notice wet patches on walls, peeling paint, a musty smell, or mold growth, your home might need damp proofing. It’s best to get a professional survey to find out the cause and get expert advice on the best solution.

Conclusion: Damp proofing is a smart investment to protect your home and your health. Catching damp early and dealing with it properly can save you money and stress in the long run.
