Basil on My Mind

As I have neglected to pinch it back for a few days, my AeroGarden basil got too close to the grow light. Usually this would be an excuse to make spaghetti, but looking for some other way to use up a whole bag of fresh basil, a recipe search brought up basil soup. Next to that was an intriguing link to a site called poetry soup.
What fun. Do any of you use a poem of the day site? I decided to look for some examples of gnomic poetry, probably drawn to the cute picture of a gnome. What kind of poetry do you like?
Oh, and I think I'll skip the basil soup and make basil bread instead. Moist inside and crunchy out, with ribbons of green making a hearty thread.

The ability to edit a post is definitely a great feature. It is surprising how easy it is to mistype or leave out a word without actually noticing. Discovering the error once the post has been submitted can be very annoying, but with the edit option it is easily rectified.

@drannhh The predictive text on a mobile or android tablet can be very useful or very annoying.
Trying to type on a small mobile phone screen can be really difficult, so if the system constantly suggests the correct word it saves a great deal of effort. On the other hand, if it continually wants to input a different word it can become really frustrating. All too often it can offer a similar word and you do not notice until the comment or post has been submitted.

Its fun really that you come across so many irrrelevant topics when you search the Net. Imagine bumping into poetry soup
Hope your bread turned out well.

Am new here, but I like the features very much. Nothing to complain. Everything is categorized very well and it's easy to keep track of things. And yes, editing of discussions is one splendid feature
