Almost anything is friable. Afore mentioned flour after a milk or egg bath helps. Do not coat twinkies. They should always be fried just as they come out of the package.

Green thumb?
I have plants but I don't really have a green thumb.
don't have any of the flowers you mentioned. Have different houseplants and outside on the patio, I have a pink begonia and an asparagus fern.
Silk or artificial flowers?
Yes, if they are nice ones.
Sentimental attachment to a certain flower?
Yes, red roses remind me of my son who died at age 16. Kind of a long story there about the roses.
computer "air spray" works really well - the cans of compressed air with straws on the nozzle. Blows the dust off. Also, Joanne's, Michael's, & AC Moore sell cleaner specifically for silks. Save your Sunday coupons and take advantage of the 40% off - comes out cheaper than what I pay thru the wholesalers.
Thanks PP!! Excellent suggestions!
