What did you do today?

[Rozgreenburn]

I tossed out my entire deep freezer stocked full of food. Why.....because my kid doesn't know how to close a faking door! I've told him numerous times just week alone to make sure the freezers closed.
4x 10lb pork shoulders
5lbs chicken breasts
5lbs chicken thighs
3lbs sausages
3lbs lunch meat turkey
1lb lunch meat ham
10 servings of chili
4 salmon dinners
Ice cream
Bread
Gyro meat/pita bread
Bacon
Sausage
Frozen potatoes/ fries/totts
Pizzas
At least 1000.00 in food. And I just went shopping 4 days ago and stocked it.

So sorry dude. A few years ago a major storm destroyed our grid and took us off the utility for a month. We kept things cold with ice from town. When the grid was back up, I made 2 years worth of dog food. It sucked but at least it was not a total waste. The dogs were noticably upset when they had to go back to regular dog food.
Good luck...

Everything was thawed out and warm/cool. It was 60* in the freezer. It was left open from 930pm to 10am. So everything went I to the trash bin. Food safety is worth me tossing everything vs hoping it's safe to eat.

I shucked garlic today and yesterday.........somewhere around 200 head so far

Below you see a typical garlic. Note that each leaf is a a layer on the wrapper. You want a minimum of 3 wraps on your garlic for it to store. This one has 5 leaves.

So, how you shuck them is to take the lower leaves and pull them down.
You can see that wrapper peeling. The beauty of this is that all the dirt is gone and that's much preferable to having dirty skins on you countertop. It's better to harvest early than too late. They end up looking like this prior to being stored


It smells wonderful!

I've grown garlic in the past (turbans and artichokes), but didn't know this technique.
Always just kinda brushed them off.

Liking the shuck a lot more.
May have to plant this year and see what happens next Spring.
Thanks @Willie

Send me some plz!! I use alot of fresh garlic..by fresh I mean from a jar.
Lol

If you've never had garlic candy before, try this.
Set oven to 350*, place whole garlic on a sheet pan lined with foil. Bake until nice n soft. 10mins or so. The garlic will taste sweet, not like garlic at all.

I've brushed off more than I care to think about. But when it rains right before harvest that is a bitch. This method it does not matter. Much cleaner overall, give it a whirl.

you are preaching to the choir..... you want garlic candy? Cut the tops off, drizzle with oil and salt, bake 350 for 35-40 minutes and they become so caramalized they stick to your teeth!
A lot of folks don't realize how sweet the garlic gets when baked, it's nothing like raw garlic (which is also good)

Does that come with the waterproof camera option? LOL

 

[Rozgreenburn]

Today marks 1 month since I last purchased beans! So many good sales that I nearly needed a straight jacket

Camera .
Nah I want a small microphone fitted .

OOOHHH, it's a light.
I was confused for a minute.

See, I just figured with all the time down there near the old atomic testing sites, your piss was glowing.

No, you're confusing us Southerners... it's MY piss that glows, as I grew up in Atomic City, USA
I thought everyone had billboards like this all over their towns, too...

 

[Amarok]

No, you're confusing us Southerners

South is south, right?

The Brits figured they'd use that far-away island they were done with for testing their new toys.

You have done your research .
Yes we have a dirty little history to put it mildly .
Ordinarily I usually only glow in Summer when I forget the sunblock .
You’ll burn in maybe 15-20mins outside on a hot day
That’s 1/3 of an hour approx for the others to understand .

That is exactly right .
Jolly good to put those disheveled old convict chaps back in their place now .
Right now who bought the tea and scones ?
My what a blood red Sky we have tonight

 

[Amarok]

It's pretty obvious when you think about it. Creatures like the drop bear, the platypus, or @Frosty78 could not have evolved naturally.

Yeah I think we’ve peaked though looking at the current soft assed young generation of today .
We will slowly now regress and be led around by AI

No.

YOU will burn in 15-20 minutes on a hot day.
