I will try that!

Texture is meatier than most fish. If it tasted muddy nasty, it wasn't cleaned right. Zero red can be left and there is a lot of waste getting them ready to eat. If it ain't white, it ain't right. Out of four good size fish - somewhere around 160 lbs. live weight, I wound up with four gallons of meat.

You guys had a great day. We had eight Thursday on Truman. I wound up with four gallons of cleaned meat. Love it smoked/grilled. They are a PITA to get ready, but it's worth it.

6 broccoli sets and 6 Brussel sprouts sets went in yesterday. Just in time for me to have to cover them up with buckets at night.

The best working Jack Russell I ever had was named Shiner.

Need a little granulated garlic in there too. And when you say hot you mean 350 in a big enough pot with enough oil that when you drop fish, the oil stays hot. Normally I say fish that floats in oil is done. Suckers need to be fried a little longer - golden brown and a little crispy around the edges. Then... look out!

Good day.!

Wieners, steamed in beer and sauerkraut, fried potatoes.

Perzactly!

Venison cheeseburger with grilled onions White Grill style, Amish sweet relish, mustard and ketchup on whole wheat toast. Poor folks has got poor ways.

I put in another 16 asparagus crowns before it rained.

What color sink? We killed them on black with scratched bottom.

Probably 20. At least that's the way it goes for me.

Spaghetti with meat sauce gravy that has onion, bell pepper, fresh garlic, some zinfandel, a load of mushrooms and a bit of parmesan cooked in. I would have made a heck of a good Italian!.

Three of any of my family there would mean three dozen raw. I don't want to come off harsh or anything, but who orders chicken in a place that close to the coast?

You never know until you go. Heck of a nice day man!

It was turkey taco Tuesday on Wednesday. I would have made a heck of a good Mexican.

Nice day. Big one too! Always fun to catch any big fish. And if you are a fish eater, those buffalo are fine. Especially the ribs believe it or not. Nice day!

I do care. May all involved feel well and loved by this world with all that can mean. My sympathies.

World of truth right here ^^

I don't take pictures of steamed cabbage, sausage and baked beans.

Three years ago, we had ugly tomatoes running out of our ears. Lovey took them to the cancer center and for a few days, they kind of sat around. But after a few days, she was the most popular person in the office. Must have the right spot. They bear late too. Determinates will flood you when it's time and then they are done. Have had good luck with mortgage lifters and super fantastic too. If they're in the stores at the right time will likely have at least one vine of those two in a cage also. Super Fantastic have really HUGE leaves. And they're good meaty tomatoes too with good flavor - at least to me. Spare me the early girl, big girl, etc. Too much like what you can find at the store.

What kind of tomatoes do you favor? I am a huge fan of Cherokee purple, brandywine, beef heart and big beef. With fourteen cages we should be fine. We're also going to put in a hill of Boston pickling cukes and a hill of Muncher dual purpose cukes. There will be two full rows of green beans and two half rows of sweet corn planted twice for two full rows of sweet corn. When it comes to sweet corn it's hard for me to plant anything other than the old standby butter and cream. That and a few peppers will take care of us for this year.

Back to gardening. I took last year off - it was the first year of retirement and it was play time. But now, back to the real world. Have a quality 60'x60' garden spot. It's been ripped, fertilized limed and tilled four times. Thanks to neighbor with the tractor and implements! Today we planted two rows of red potatoes, two half rows of English peas, separated by a cattle panel trellis, a half row of candy sweet yellow onions, a fourth row of radishes, and sowed mammoth dill in a corner. We also have a planter that in its former life was a freeze proof concrete cattle water fount. It's got butter crunch lettuce from starts, spinach, red leaf lettuce and the old standby black seeded simpson leaf lettuce in it. Herbs are also going in pots from starts. WooHoo!

That's awesome. Tavern creek is a real mid Missouri gem. It used to be kind of under the radar. Not so sure about it since the rise of the internet.
