and if you manage to do that sometime you might enjoy reading a college level textbook about microbiology. it's some great information. even if you don't understand chemistry and math you can still learn quite a bit.
all plans made earlier in the week will be unplanned today. nope, not going out, cancel everything and stay home. i don't want to play "Guess Where The Road Is" today.
while that may be pretty it doesn't have a plug and it won't accept any juice from the heavens ('lectricity).
these are a version of m-discs... :)

first sort is done. :) that means all the clunkers are picked out and in the bags with the pods that will get buried in the spring.
it also means that any odd beans or interesting beans that i'm interested in possibly growing again are picked out and in containers that are marked for...
i'm surprised that more people don't do dill sprouts. there's so many zillion seeds they can produce when you grow them and the seeds are usually pretty easy to harvest.
interesting, i know they're working on it. reading can go quicker than writing as usual. as a backup, i'd like something etched in glass somehow. there's some archival methods that are more durable than magnetic tape or magnetic bits in a disk drive. i want something like that for once in a...
i was up some of the night due to some unplanned chocolate consumption that wired me good. :) with the storm today i had to get the trash out and no recycling needed to go out so that makes it much easier. one bag at the curb and i'm done. wind was pretty up and will be all day and half of...
yes to all of those! Mom doesn't like cabbage in any form other than coleslaw or saurkraut so not in soups or roasts, but i love it. there's also turnips and swedes (rutabagas) but Mom's not into those either (if i grow them i have to cook them on days when she's out :) ).
Mom could live off...
we do chuck roasts in the crock pot. other than the first fry to brown we don't do much else other than put onions and mushrooms in there and then at the end put some cream of mushroom soup in for gravy (we both like mushrooms a lot so it works as a quick gravy instead of dealing with the flour...
we have a winter storm warning (windy, cold and snow) for tomorrow into the next day so likely Mom won't be heading out.
we're not setting the thermostat down tonight as low as usual because some weeks ago when the power went out overnight and we'd had set the furnace back we didn't like how...

- Pale Yellow and White

it's not that i think buying seeds from catalogues is bad or anything it is just not something i need to do at this point of my life. :)
i have all the beans i can possibly grow, when i need more i can get them from places i already know or find more but it usually hasn't involved ordering...
