Dang, that's the best part. Scrape it off and lick it off the knife!All right someone did not unplug the coffee pot and the bottom of the pot was burnt.Had to soak it for a while before could make the first pot.
Morning folks...
Interesting, Dajjall. I used to paint and sketch in my younger days. I actually sold quite a few commissioned paintings. I have considered going back to that lately. I was looking at sketch books a few weeks ago. Good luck, hope you find success and satisfaction.
OK, zoo it is. You'll actually see more indigenous critters, just in a less natural setting. Dinner downtown in a decent restaurant. Let me know what kind of chow you all prefer. I was looking at a nice river raft trip. I took my parents on a nice half-day float years ago, and I had my arm in a cast then. It all depends on how much time you guys have.
There's some kind of beetle up here, looks like a Japanese beetle, when you crush it, it smells just like cilantro. I have to confess, I've not made a taste test.No 'see-lan-troe'... ?I love growing fresh herbs. It's so nice to be able to go out back and just pick them, convenient too!
I rarely use all called for in a lot of recipes but there are a few that are absolutely necessary. Which do you grow?
I like to grow thyme (or rosemary - they taste similar to me), basil, sage, parsley.
Yes actually, forgot that one. Can't make salsa and pico de gallo without it!
It doesn't really have much flavor to me, so I don't use it often.
Both are tough to over-winter here. I like both and I'm hoping to keep free-range chickens when I get settled in a permanent place.First Mobile Chicken Coop of the year complete:
6'Lx4'Wx3.5'H, loaded with 6 Americana chicks. They will start laying blue eggs next spring.
At ~90lbs, this wooden/metal coop is not nearly as light as I would like it to be, especially for its small size. When I build the grand coop for the 48 Americanas I plan to get, I will build the frame of the future 10'x30'x5' out of 1" PVC pipe.
Every day, we simply move the coop one length of itself over, so there's fresh grass, fresh bugs, and no chicken poop on the ground. This is how you make organic egg layers that will also be fat enough to eat. NO FEEDING COSTS, EVER!
And for those curious, this was made out of 100% scrap wood and tin. All I had to buy was a small roll of chicken wire. It's incredibly easy, and the ROI is fast.
I have about a dozen free-range chickens that do all the bug eating in my yard for me. Their efficiency becomes very apparent when you go across the driveway to the lot my friends are renting from me, which is full of ticks.
We put the coop in their backyard to help with the problem until they finish getting their yard fenced off and some chickens of their own.
When I build the grand coop, it will go out in the pasture where the sheep graze. Hopefully, they'll no longer have to depend on the chickens hopping on their backs to pick off ticks (which IS highly entertaining, though).
Happy Saturday, folks.
I grew up with chickens and have farmer friends and relatives that make sure I've never really gotten out of touch with these interesting birds, and I never knew that they went after the ticks. Very interesting.
They're not as efficient as ginnea fowl, but they'll certainly get the job done!
You have hip problems, too? My right hip is getting to be quite a problem and I suspect it's going to be significant. I'm hoping my chiropractor will help. What's the problem you're having with your hip?Not my best day today...hip is on fire.

I have RA...
I love corny jokes.
When I was stationed in Korea in 63-64 the women would pick lice out of one another's hair, crack it between their thumbnails and lick it off and swallow it. I never got a chance to smell mashed lice though.There's some kind of beetle up here, looks like a Japanese beetle, when you crush it, it smells just like cilantro. I have to confess, I've not made a taste test.No 'see-lan-troe'... ?

That goes on in many Oriental countries. It's just that Korean women were the ones I saw do it.You can hear that louse pop clear across the room.
