Hubs and I were out of state for almost 2 wks and my frigging yard/garden turned into a jungle! My sunflowers went from about 5ft to almost 8ft, my lemonbalm went feral again and I got to eat my first cukes of the year from my yard😁😬
Ok-I need to get my ass to bed. G’night folks. Almost Juneteenth here. My pale people-Shhhhhh. It’s not about us. No, shh 🤫
My dude asked for homemade gluten free egg noodles and since I felt like playing in the kitchen, I did it and this batch turned out even better! I had to substitute millet for corn and tapioca starch for potato starch…. But the texture is wonderful-recipe compliments of The Loopy Whisk.
Horseradish pesto with roasted garlic, pecans, fresh Parmesan and oil….lots of salt. It turned out prettier this time…. Pasta today to munch!!
I’m out for the night-I hope all the folks that matter can find some rest and peace tonight 🫂
The walk helped. My lil screamer was happy to walk with me and help me work my mood out a bit
This is what I looked for in the store-pale or greenish is best-our store ginger is pretty rough and rarely green on the tips.
#StayReadyCrew if you use a lot of ginger and want to try growing your own. This is storebought and not organic. The best way I’ve tried for sprouting ginger.Short jar with a small amount of water in the base. Rinse by swirling fresh water at least every other day and use fresh water-under lights
Honestly-I’m easy to please….would you look at this adorable corkscrew bit I found at the base of my plant? Most longer and a lil twisty… but this makes me happy 😊
Look at this beautiful butterfly-I don’t catch many pictures because my pup usually comes out with me, but I saw this pretty thing sunning on my sidewalk 💙
Adults don’t do this. Adults take responsibility for the results of their actions as well as their inactions. Not acting is a choice.
And……Done and voted. Plus I asked some of the volunteers how to get started volunteering… that blue shirt is hiding my 2nd favorite shirt “I don’t care how you were raised, learn that shit”
Biggest damn slug I’ve seen in awhile…I found him hiding on the mower under a part on the topside…biggest slug I’ve seen in years! Tossed him in my lilacs-maybe a bird will find him or he will live 🤷🏼♀️ as long as he doesn’t eat my garden goodies, he can go
Do not recommend the texture of just sautéed in butter-too chewy and the flavor didn’t shine. One leaf chunk went into my pasta to boil and the leaf was tender and tasty-boiling is the route for me
I thought I’d try something for the #StayReadyCrew horseradish leaves are edible! I had no idea… so I tried a pesto with the young leaves and it’s actually really good! And I sautéed some medium sized leaves just to try:
Why do I always end up with cooked rice everywhere after making onigiri 🍙? Gyahhh-on my shirt?! Shit it so good, though. The one with kimchi in it is already gone 😝
Yummmm…using up the last bit of my older white kimchi with some sushi rice. So dang tasty
This is for @brat2381.bsky.social and the #stayready crew… Did y’all know that lemongrass-if you can get fresh stalks with enough base-will sprout?! One of my most favorite flavors-won’t grow here in MT-too cold. This is an ongoing experiment!
I remixed a file I found. This first boxes I did weren’t big enough for Baker cr seeds and that was what we mostly have so I remixed another one. The blue one was my first style and the orangey ones are my remixed ones. Not my design but I can get you a Link for either
I took this vid yesterday-not sure if the platform will upload good enough, but look at this. This babe wants to fly so bad #BirdsOfBluesky #birds
This is where I found him this morning….happy as a damn clam, sitting on hub’s chainsaw case-he’s so damn cute!
My partner and I caught some pretty cool antics today in our yard. Mama robin with her baby that hasn’t quite learned to fly yet. He’s safe here-my pup is somewhat blind
Not Mexican, but with all the queso I’m eating, maybe? @brat2381.bsky.social
