2022 Spring Fling! April 23, 11-3, see below. Food, plants also
Comments (29)Hi Everyone. Will this SF be another 2017?! So....Tom and I will purchase the meat this week, get it thawed and smoked for Saturday. All of that should be great. About the tomatoes.... The Jet Setters and Heidis are not the best. I suspect I got a bag of "bad" potting mix. However, they are growing. I will bring them...and if anyone wants to give them a chance, please do. I am going to plant some of them still. Rick bought Jet Stars to replace my Jet Setters for the SG. BUT, I'm still going to plant them somewhere else. I have a couple of places in mind. I have high hopes for them. I think once they get planted, they'll be fine. I have 2 roselle plants for Lisa that are still doing great. The Dawn pepper didn't germinate....so nothing there. I'll repeat this at the other place....See MoreHeat was the least of my worries: Summer damage 2022
Comments (16)Thanks so much for your supportive words everyone! @Kristine LeGault 8a pnw I agree that they were not very smart if they thought I wouldn't notice. But as you correctly guessed @strawchicago z5 , drugs are at the core of the problem, so that probably impacted their thinking. The most damaged area where they were putting the most things into the soil are the plants that were farthest from the door, I guess they thought those are "in the back" so less visible. I theorize that it was different individuals doing the burying and the retrieving of stuff, so the broken plants may have been from someone rummaging through them to find what someone else had buried. Last night another neighbor just discovered his storage closet had been broken into, so this is unfortunately not yet completely over. They didn't steal anything, they were looking for a new place to stash their loot. Again, not very smart to think this would go unnoticed. We are getting the main door to the building replaced, new locking system and will be adding a video surveillance camera to the entrance hall... It's so weird to think that is necessary now, but as you say @berrypiez6b this is the sad state of the world today. @rosecanadian I am so glad I can stay somewhere safe! And also very excited to get to try a whole new bunch of roses over there ! @sultry_jasmine_nights (Florida-9a-ish) luckily here in Malta the squatter laws are on the side of the owners. Unless they had been there for a dozen years and there was no identifiable legitimate owner they can't make any claim to the place and can be kicked out. In this case, they don't really even live there, they all actually have homes elsewhere and were just using the apartments to carry out their activities....See MoreWhat's for Dinner #403 Holiday Edition, 2022
Comments (103)You all writing about chili make me want to make a batch. I wish I had a pretty red pie for our dessert. Yum! A group of us single ladies are getting together tonight to celebrate our friendship. It will be here. Not much decoration, but it will do. I decided to roast lamb shanks and vegetables, and had a difficult time finding 5 shanks. Apparently lamb isn't readily available right now... don't know why. That and dressing the table are my job and the rest others are bringing. The shanks are now in the oven for their long afternoon roast, and, hopefully, will be wonderfully cooked by 5ish. (We eat early... or whenever the meat is done.) I'm also doing roasted vegetables and am wondering how early to start roasting the potatoes, onion, and ....... (suggestions?) I'm thinking they need about an hour. ??? I was going to do more of a variety, but then found out that someone is bringing a multi-vegetable mixed salad. (More dishes needed.) I'll try to remember to take photos and post later....See MoreWhat's for dinner #405, Spring 2023
Comments (101)Neely, your plating is so much more appetizing than the recipe card. I think of jerk seasoning dark like yours. So busy Annie. In the kitchen and out on the farm. What a cutie calf. I have forgotten about potato chips for a crust. I keep wanting to try pork rinds but i . always eat them before i get the chance. A local empanada shop (hand pies) sweet and savory, has one that uses a cornmeal crust. A bit thick for my likes, but i bet a fine cornmeal or mixed with another GF flour would work in a tortilla press. DH thought my strawberries were weeds. But my blueberries are big shrubs and the new ones i put in last year are looking good, (and well marked) For some reason i've been avoiding anything fussy, rolly, stuffed, pleated. But this was easy. I just made four quick sushi rolls. Used the last of the sticky rice. -sleeve...See MoreWalnutCreek Zone 7b/8a
