One never knows what'll turn up when rototilling, especially new ground. Yesterday while tilling at max. depth, I turned up this horseshoe. Rototiller is undamaged, yay! This could have been from 50 years ago or 150. I hope the horse and rider were OK.

A rusted horseshoe, roughly 4.5"wide x 4.5" long, with the heads of two nails embedded.

Cartoon by Matt Groening, "Bongo's Dreamhouse" is full of tropes: a shark-filled moat, a garage+cool/finned car, a robot-chef, games, a satellite dish, a fireman's pole, pool, and a helicopter pad.

Lentil soup, as requested by my Muse. Lentils, two ham hocks, mirepoix, tomatoes, potatoes, and a parsnip. Victory, I didn't need to switch to a larger pot, part wat through making it!

Lilacs in my neighbor's back pasture, with one of their roosters at the far left.

A pale lavender and a vibrant magenta lilac in front of a white-blossoming tree on a gentle, grassy slope. A rooster is barely visible behind and left.

I'm motivating myself to break more old turf into vegetable garden with a yummy salad with homemade garlicky Bleu cheese dressing. How garlicky? I fear it may violate one or more nuclear arms treaties!

A bowl filled with salad greens, veggies, croutons and my homemade garlicky Bleu cheese dressing.

My Muse and I made chicken penne Alfredo with asparagus and mushrooms. I should NOT have thirds!

Eggs from my neighbor's free-range flock, very tasty! Breakfast for dinner in progress.

Tonight's pizza is a BBQ-sauced pizza, with chicken cooked in homemade BBQ sauce, mozzarella, mushrooms and red bell pepper.

Pizza in the slightly-odd-shaped pan from my air-fryer. As yet uncut. Eight slices worth.

Pizza's not just for the weekend!

Lasagna, some assembly required!

A stovetop covered with: a big pot of marinara, a bowl of ricotta+Parm, a skillet full of sausage and ground bison, and lastly a big roasting pan.

I knew when I mentioned this that I'd have to bake another soon!

Savory cornbread with chopped bacon, roasted garlic, and sage. Takes almost twice the oven time in case iron but worth it!

larrypf@larrypf· Feb 18

Pizza inbound to oven with most of its toppings: mushrooms, pepperoni, onions, and tomato.

It's *cold* outside! I'm keeping the wood stove stoked and praying that our well-head is protected enough!

Woodstove fired up, with a big pot of water trying to keep some humidity in the air.

The lasagna is cooked, now I have to wait for it to cool enough...

The Mother of Lasagnas (fills the turkey roasting pan!) going into the oven now. If we get snowed in we won't starve.

A huge pan of meat/cheese/veggie lasagna fills my turkey roaster. Veggies are zucchini and basil.

My 1st try cooking on this wood stove (black beans), not just boiling water to keep the air from getting too dry.

Two large pots with lids sitting atop a flat-toped wood stove. A modest fire is visible through the stove's glass door.

Omelette-saurus: seven eggs, a duck breast, cremoni mushrooms and Swiss cheese!

Spatchcocked duck over bread/cornbread/brown-rice dressing, just out of the oven. Smells to die for!
