I have
become a renewed fan of
BHG. I look forward to every issue,
especially to see what paint color you
have chosen. Since you started this
segment, I have saved those pages
every month. Your decorating, food,
and gardening ideas are top-notch.
Keep up the good work.
Marlene stabin, cornelius, N c
I too
am happy that you are
carrying paint names and manufac-
turers in recent issues. I tore out all
of the pages on one of your featured
homes for our architect and made a
note of the colors they had selected.
M y color decisions are now done
for our dream home w hen my
husband retires in a few years.
Thank you so much.

The April
article “Egg Class” and
the item about “frizzled” eggs was
particularly interesting to me. The
name might be new, but the process
(cross between a fried egg and a
sunny-side-up) has been going on for
70
-plus years in our family. Maybe it
was a M innesota thing!

Thanks
for pointing out that
free-range, cage-free, and organic
eggs aren’t all they’re cracked up to
be. Instead of eggs, I often eat
scrambled seasoned tofu and fre sh
fruit for breakfast. W hen I bake, I use
Ener-G Egg Replacer, a low-calorih,
cholesterol-free powdered mix that
is indistinguishable in cakes, cookies,
and other goodies.

As a vegan,
I’m so excited that
BHG is featuring so many easily
“veganized” recipes. The Sweet
Potato Hash recipe (“Fresh Fixings,”
April) was ridiculously easy to
make—I just substituted vegan sour
cream for the real thing—and a
huge hit w ith my husband. Definitely
a keeper!

Wow!
“Corner on Privacy” in April
was a fabulous source of information.
It’s nice to know that privacy in dense
urban areas can be created with a bit
of imagination and planning. More
about this topic, please.

I’m writing
to plead that you
stop using the term “backyard”
in conjunction w ith “gardening,”
especially vegetable gardening. It
implies the only appropriate place for
a vegetable garden is in the backyard,
when many of us have our best
sunlight in the front yard or else-
where. As more people start to grow
vegetables, I think it’s important to
widen our view of where a garden
can grow.
