I had a situation some years ago when I tried to make a Xmas bread for my Czech daughter-in-kw. The recipe was in Czech, which I translated, the measurements were in metric, which I converted to English, and the ingredient measurements were by weight rather than volume, which I converted. It was...

Thank you all so much. We went to our favorite restaurant down by the ocean and had a great dinner. We started off with a single malt scotch for me, and a Hakuna Matata cocktail for Kayelle. It is described as Malibu Mango Rum, orange & pineapple juice, pomegranate stirrings & a float of 151...

While in Australia, we stopped for lunch that offered "Box of shrimp and a beer". That sounded good to me until the box showed up:ermm:

It is crazy, but it is November and I am still harvesting tomatoes off our 4 bushes.

Mea Culpa! It took 4 months and four pounds of Baking Soda plus some special deodorizer to get rid of the smell:sad:

Thank you for the nice review. We may try your suggestion of dill the next time we make it.

Sliced, it perfectly covered a round bolillo hamburger bun. I only have 2 plants, and I average a tomato a week, which is just enough for the 2 of us.

I have very little area to plant things, but i found a place to grow a couple of tomato plants. I put in 2 Celebrity plants, and 2 Bobcat plants. I went to pick one of the Bobcat tomatoes, and it blew me away! It was perfectly shaped and weighed 17 ounces.

We have a 12,000 BTU searing side burner on our BBQ that we nicknamed "Wilma" (from the Flintstones). It does a wonderful job and is very easy to clean. We did a one bone roast in the SV then seared it, and it was great.

When I was on my Trans Siberian Railroad trip, we were treated to a caviar and vodka reception in St. Basil's cathedral in Moscow's Red Square. It was excellent. It was also before the prices went through the roof.

Day camp at the beach Today was the last day before the beaches here on the beautiful Central Coast of California were closed for the holiday. Kayelle and I drove out to a spot on the beach only known to locals. There we set up our day camp. I had picked up a big sub, chips and a small...

IMO, those conical cages are worthless. I found some large triangular cages and put one on top of the other and wired them together. I live in a MHP, and only have 4 plants, but they are going crazy! Since there are only the two of us, we will have tomatoes all summer
