Good morning, everyone. Yes, we can grow fruit and vegetables but not grass! For the melon patch, I dug the few bits of grass and large amounts of weeds out of a 4’x4’ square. Then I picked the rocks out (enough to edge two sides of the square) and put in a bag of commercial garden soil with compost in it. Mixed it up with the clay.

I’m getting more bags of dirt today, and I’ll put some plant food in with the canteloupes when they go in. The mailbox arrangement will be a smaller square with marigolds. Bill kept forgetting to trim in that area, and a big shock of grass grew up around the pole. Very tacky!

The tree construction will cost more and take some engineering, so that can wait until next week, at least. The tree is in good shape, but it’s sitting on a mostly bare slope.

Pat is staring into Shannon’s eyes and humming at her. She looks perturbed. This could be bad.

Time to gather my troops and head for the hardware store, Petsmart, Hobby Lobby, and I forget the other place. Anoreth will remind me.

Happy Saturday to all my still-sleeping Undead FRiends and all the catz waiting for breakfast.

Good for you.

I have a hard time keeping the grass out of my garden.

Good luck with the tree.

As I understood Dachau when I was there, the two barracks that had been “rebuilt” (the bath area and pissoir were ‘original’ as were some of the other fittings) were historically correct.

You are correct.

... It’s not a place you can visit “once.”

Agreed and agreed. If my travels take me back to Munich (oh, please...) I will take an extra day and visit again, but this time with one of the larger cameras. (I have some photos I could post online, if you would like. Nothing great though.)

Photos would be good, I think. I still have some of the post cards that were sold in the museum, but I have no idea where they are. “Safe,” I suspect.

You ask that and then disappear????

Sorry, I was being called for dinner.

What kind?

Savoury, with beef, chicken, maybe pork, with potatoes and veggis.

I bought one so we wouldn't have to eat pizza on every late night.

I've made a pot roast, which turned out well, and pork Tenderloin, which was good, but I used a gravy mix with the tenderloin, and I found it overwhelmed all the other flavours.

Swastikas (sun wheels) could be found all over the map in antiquity. You're correct, as far as I know, on the symbolic meaning. The swastika's reappearance in the West isn't that strange when one considers both the scholarship of the time and the Nazis' sense of destiny, superiority, and grandeur.

A symbol pretty much wrecked in the West but not necessarily elsewhere. During my last visit to India I met a woman whose name is Swastika.

"Scholarship" wasn't what this documentary was about, a point Stein himself made. It's about presenting an issue of concern, one that is deeper-rooted than I knew. I didn't like some of the presentation (as I hinted earlier), but while he focused on "intelligent design" we've seen the same in the global warming deba "consensus."

I'm not sure what you mean by "targeting" -- but the kind of folks Algore siphons money from were definitely in the sights of this one.

I came away from this not thinking it was about crowbaring metaphysical explanations into their work, but asking "how could this possibly come to be?" and looking at all possibilities, with unfettered debate. Of course, if you have decided it was by design, the next step is to try to ferret out the designer -- only to have that undone if someone finds a natural mechanism. But that's okay...

Still, it was rather amusing, and an effective point, to see Dawkins himself invoking the possibility of an "intelligent design" of life on earth.

So is it okay that folks get fired & blackballed for speaking against the prevailing orthodoxy?

This is a very important question for me, because I am putting together a presentation next October that opens with questioning a prevailing orthodoxy as my lead-in. It doesn't need to because I don't see it as the ultimate driver for the issue I address, but many in the audience will, and I need to be honest about the issue. But if this is to be my last speaking engagement, I need to know.

Simple roast recipe.

Clean and slice carrots into 2-3” pieces, and place these on the bottom of the crock.
Clean and cut potatoes into quarters or smaller, and place these over the carrots.

Carrots are denser than potatoes, so they take longer to cook. And potatoes are denser than the meat.

Place your roast over the vegetables. Add seasonings, but if you choose to use garlic and onion, add them the last two hours of cooking so they don’t get too soggy.

You can add “Kitchen Bouquet” which is a gravy coloring/flavoring and it will give everything a nice color. Fill the crock with enough water to cover the meat.

If you want to make gravy when you’re ready to serve, add thickening to the water, and turn the pot to High until it boils. Add any more seasonings if you want, at that time.

Also, a really handy thing to have on hand is a box of crock pot liners, made by Reynolds. Since I found them, clean-up is a breeze!

I hope this helps!

You can also make lucious soups in the crock, but save the pasta until the last 30 minutes or so, so it doesn’t get squishy.

XOXO

I have leftover eggplant with tomato sauce :-). The landscape bricks were marked down to $.30, but they didn’t have canteloupe plants. I’ll have to grow them from seed. Hope it works!

Makes sense-- 'swastika' has its origins in Sanskrit.

Thanks Face!

That sounds a lot like the pot roast I did last week, except I used one of Emiril’s recipes that called for tomato paste, and it made the potatoes taste, well, tomatoey.

I don’t think Emeril is much of a cook. But that’s just me.

I like my own recipes for everything, including potato soup!

As long as the cantaloupe are not “hybrid” you shouldn’t have any problem growing them from seeds. Just make sure the seeds are good and dry before you plant them.

Have you started plants from seeds before?

When I was growing up, we always just put them in the ground!
