According to this OpenSSL RT note it looks like it might just be that OpenSSL and LDAPS are having marital issues.

Either way, I got stuck in the middle of that cat fight this weekend, and I lived to tell…I figured out the problem at 11:55pm…and to think I started working on this Saturday. At least I solved it before the weekend.

I still suggest using SSL to secure your LDAP stores though guys…I just wish I could go with the ‘more secure’…..

Happy Easter!

I made a Meyer Lemon Curd. I think my lemons are so sweet I should have dropped a tablespoon of the sugar from the recipe…but otherwise it turned out perfect, smooth, and creamy, and it only used two eggs (whole). I cheated and used the blender to mix the sugar, juice, and zest. I also beat the eggs before adding them to the double-boiler with the juice-sugar mixture and butter in pieces.

I’m making Chicken’n'Dumplings, Beef stroganoff, and biscuits (to go with the curd). The Chicken and beef were leftovers from my mom, so I turned them into dinner for us.

Now it’s time to try a marmalade though, and I’m having a hard time deciding, and since I made so many other things, and I’ve got a sore throat or something.

I think I will make this Marmalade recipe that allows the cut citrus to soak in water overnight. I’m goping to adjust it though and do six Meyer and three navel, with added sugar. I hope it turns out.

We planted blueberries (two kinds- O’Neal and Berkeley), seven kinds of tomatoes (Indian Moon- a Navajo heirloom, Siberia tomato- a heirloom for the cooler side of the garden that’s hearty and interesting, a well known heirloom- Brandywine, two cherry tomatoes, and two types of roma tomatoes for my marinara. We also have snap peas, carrots, six kinds of peppers (some nifty italian heirloom seeds I will post about later), cucumber, a summer squash, a winter squash. I repotted the herbs, and added some new fun ones like purple sage and lemon thyme.

We also planted many of the annuals in the front flower boxes, there are more to go, plus we have the corn to hurry up and plant. Some much gardening, so little time.

Wanna see?
