...and not long after that she'll be telling her friends what a dumbass you are ?

Hah! You know, I'm learning to add some non-veggie stuff to spruce up salads. Can't see it in the picture but there are some craisins in there. Also been adding some sliced almonds. A little texture, crunch or chew makes it better! I don't buy kalamata olives because I'll eat the whole jar once it's opened. ?

Yeah, swai is good. Pretty cheap too.

Salad with lettuce from the garden supplemented with stuff from the CSA and some chicken.

Congrats, friend. Now, what's JoeD got to do with it?

Welcome And, thank you.

The honor of your presence is hereby requested in the 'What's Cooking' thread

Hah! Nobody's working anybody. Just put my mind to it, but it helps when the other half is on board, and already eats like a bird. ? But I've been working on this a while. Down 48 since 2012. Divorce gets credit for about 15. CSA starts up on Monday, so I'll be getting veggies dumped in my lap weekly until October, plus whatever I can muster from my teeny garden. Food'l be going through me 'like poop through a goose' as dad used to say. ?

That's great! I'm down 20 since mid February and need another 10 to 20 to get in the range. I've got a really supportive girlfriend who really helps. Trying to change the lifestyle so this is permanent.

I'm getting spinach this year, which is a positive because it always has been tough for me. Spotty germination so ice filled in the holes with seed preps routed indoors. That seems to be working I'm not as big a lettuce head as BilletHead, but I've got quite a bit about ready to pick. Outside germination has been spotty, so I'm gonna have to get some more seed out. Getting radishes and I've filled holes with new seed. Baby peppers too. A few blooms on the maters. Peas are coming up great, but just like last year Dwarf Grey is about twice the size of Amish Snap. Got a few strawberries coming on and my gooseberry bush is covered in berries.

Thanks, Mitch! My neck was getting sore.

Played with it a little. I get the look Chief's talking about too.

Straighten that horizon first...

OK -- that's a really nice shot!!!

I gotta get chanterelles figured ouot this year.

Thought I'd try a thread where folks post funny stuff... So I always liked Gary Mule Deer, a comedian that used to show up on Carson and later Letterman. Loved his dry sense of humor and twisty-turny stories. Thought of him the other day and Googled. Found a couple videos that I thought I'd share.

Alright, so I made some more tortillas last night and subbed vegetable oil for 1/3 of the liquid. Noticeably better but still not great. That bag of masa is gonna probably outlast me.

Heavy cream, cheese, potatoes -- what more could you ask for!

And then there's this one. Prolly my favorite of his.

Don't you love it when anonymous sources start talking about buyouts? The deal has gotten a lot more expensive since it was first talked about last fall. Cabela's stock price bottomed out at $33 in October. Trading at $52 recently.

We stayed at Townsend, TN. I used a guide named Tim Doyle that was really good and also entertaining.

Flour or corn?

Fished GSMNP once in 2009, so I'm certainly not an expert. It was a 2-day stopover on our way to South Carolina. But...the word I got at the time was to go higher up to get to the brookies.
