For fun: the last thing you made from your citrus?
Q
Comments (15)
Almost every morning: Monreal clemintine rind + Temple of Heaven Special Gunpowder Green Tea + Thin sliced ginger root, in about a 16-20 oz mug or recycled foam cup in the microwave to a slight boil. Any home grown orange, mandarin, or mandarin hybrid rind works. There many benificial compounds in "orange rind oils" and very tasty if not overdone. The green tea may have an unpleasent "whang" after taste with out these helpful additives. Green teas are the most healthy drinks known drinks on earth. Any good green or black tea works. (Not ice tea leaves please.) Lunch: Instead of a vinigrette dressing a Vietnamese salad is topped with West Indian lime (Key or Mexican)/ honey (or sugar) added for those bland winter tomatoes. Most evenings, after dinner: Try this. Juice; 1 Ujukitsu sweet lemon + 1 Wekiwa tangelo-lo 1/2 Golden grapefruit + sea salt + a shot or two of vodka for the best salty dog in citrus history. Or for us old gezers with arthritis: Juice; Two Page tan-tangelos+ 2 Tankan tangerines (or Ponkans or sweet orange) + 2 tbs canned coconut cream + 1 oz vodka + 1/2 oz Bacardi This is a variation of a recipe given by a 3rd generation Plaquemine Parish, La. citrus nurseryman after I told him I grew Page. If you dont have an Asian grocery for the co- conut cream use the Cajun's original Malibu coconut rum. The canned cream is better for the joints. Or use coconut oil from an (Asian) Indian food store in some other recipe. Remember all citrus originated in south and east Asia. Look to their uses and build on them. Bon citrus apitite!

What Did You Have For Dinner From Your Garden Last Night?
Q

Dale I would never be able to describe the exact location of where these morels were found. They were on private property, and I was invited by the owner, or I never would have found it by myself. Now, since she has moved, I'd probably have to trespass or get the new owner's permission. Anyways, you should be happy to know they are to be found in many locations in Oklahoma. Keep tabs on this link, and you should be able to zero in on a good location. I think there's another morel link for Oklahoma as well as this one online. You won't be disappointed if you luck onto a good morel spot. As you will see in the pics in this link, even the homeies love them, lol! Just wait til about April and about four days after a rain. Look for a moist woodland, where some deer and cows have roamed, and there are many such places in Oklahoma. I LOVE morels just about any way you can prepare them. And especially morel soup, or perhaps cut up in small pieces for tempura. A real delicacy. I've been thinking of starting my own little shitake patch. You can buy the spores of those online and perhaps other varieties as well. Dawn I can relate to the harvesting, canning and preserving fatigue. Getting kind of tired of it myself, so when dinner time rolls around and it's just me, it's catch as catch can from the garden. I really do hate to see the summer crops dwindling. Okra not bearing well. The cucumbers that store boughts will NEVER be able to rival are just about kaput. I still have tons of BIG tomatos that haven't ripened yet. Since it's been dry, with no recent rain, I've been allowing them to store up all that deliciousness and not get soggy or insipidly flavorless, so they have been amazing! Especially enjoying the Indian Stipes, which were not new to you, but certainly a delightful first for me. I'm hoping I don't get stuck with having to can jars of pickled tomatos or green tomato relish. I like it, but there's only so much of it I can eat. Today's menu was simply one of my baked buttercup squash, (just the right size for me), with butter and brown sugar, and cooked to pieces pole beans. Since I don't have a family to cook for, sometimes I kind of 'batch' and my folks used to call it. Nice in a way, since I can eat weird stuff that I like, when I like and not have to worry about meal planning per se. Barbara Here is a link that might be useful: Morels of Oklahoma

Tortillas - where do yours come from - do you make your own?
Q
Comments (23)
Oops! I seem to have forgotten that I started this thread, but the responses have been very helpful. I think I will definitely to go El Camaguey and buy a tortilla press, although I don't think it has a stainless steel surface like Ann's, which would be nice. I do keep dry masa on hand, but I also keep fresh masa in the freezer - for making what I thought were empanadas, but which are probably quesadillas, at least as they are made in Mexico, and deep fried. As for flour tortillas, since I've found the whole grain tortillas in the market, I probably won't be making too many of those again, although I might want to experiment with some of the whole grain flours I have. I don't especially like tortillas made with all white flour, and corn tortillas are my favorite. When I first visited Vancouver for a long visit (1978 or so), I was shocked that I could not find fresh corn tortillas in the grocery stores (I did find frozen ones, but did not consider that acceptable). At that time, I practically lived on soft tacos (that I made myself, often with tofu), and so I had to make an adjustment. I think I bought some whole wheat crackers instead. I think I will try to find some Hispanic markets, although there aren't any in my immediate neighborhood. There are some in neighboring Mar Vista (where Scott lives), which is less than 2 miles from here. There are several places to buy fresh tamales, but they don't sell tortillas. Anyway, I think I will keep looking and also get the tortilla press. Lars

Where do you purchase your David Austin roses from?
Q

Bella mine have done pretty well for me here. I don't know the answer to own root vs grafted. Some of mine were new last year so too early to say much, although Christopher Marlow, Princess Alexandra of Kent, and Sharifa did really well for first year roses. Some that I've had for a while are GT, GC, Munstead Wood, Olivia Rose, Mary Rose, Scepter, Queen of Sweden. Of those, I think the best performers for me have been Scepter, Olivia, Mary, and MW. They pretty much all die to the ground over winter, but I don't do much in the way of winter protection. I really hope Christopher winters well, I got 2 and they had blooms pretty much all the time.

You all are SO lucky! I have not been shopping since last Friday. Was looking for snow boots at the mall, but only brought a scarf. After being hit by two snowstorms, I went to work yesterday for the first time in a week. Rode with a neighbor. Luckily DH made sure I had enough food before he left. He comes back tonight - had to tell him to take a cab home from the airport, as I still can't get out. Our street is a mess, with big chunks of snow and ice. I'm hoping to get out tomorrow.

I put our tree service for next summer on my credit card today to take advantage of their 5% discount. $807.30 -- a biggie because it's been three years since we treated our Century Elm against Dutch Elm Disease. The rest is spring spraying of hawthorns. They'll also do a fall lawn aereation.

Just got that set up and in the mail this afternoon is the Scott's fertilizer plan for 2010 -- another $500+.

For this kind of money we should have a vegetable garden!

Mine was tonight from the WalMart online store. The snow was so heavy that it toppled my umbrella on the back porch. There was nothing wrong with the umbrella pole but the cast iron stand it had been in finally gave way, it had been rusting out,
I looked online for a new one and the styles available and then remembered Walmart. They ship it to my store for free.

Target. Party size Stouffer's entrees were on sale, so I got a couple of them. I live alone so one easily makes about 9-10 meals for me. I eat one out of the oven then freeze the rest for a handy meal when needed.

Besides the grocery store yesterday, I bought a pair of boots at a little shoe store called 'The Foot Path'. I already owned them in brown but I love them so much that I picked up a pair in black.

I don't know how to post a photo from a website inside a thread but I have never received as many compliments on anything I have ever owned.

Sams club. I bought their bags of Grouper fillets, got 2 of the bags. I like to have them for a quick meal. The fillets are perfect size for a grilled grouper sandwich.
Bought their bag of Angus hamburger patties, I like them too for quickey meals.
We needed the Omega-3-6-9 tablets so I got 2 bottles of them.
Milk...a bag of 3 different kinds of dried cherries. I can not eat oatmeal (naked) so I add a few dried cherries and it makes the oatmeal go down better...:o))
Oh and light bulbs.
