Ok, I’ll put some night crawlers to work. I’ll get some chick mash and I always have shredded papper, just sitting here I shred a lot of letters from ???? and even newspapers. I’ve been putting the shreds in the compost pile so now I’ll divide it. Do they take long to reproduce?

What are red wigglers? The same as night crawlers?

I’ll never throw corncobs in the compost again. I’ll throw them in the fire. Thank you for the information. Neat.

I have a FRiend who played football for LSU way back when. My grandson and his girlfriend came by last evening to get my pickup to drop off at the Detail Shop and he brought my Big Chief smoker back so I can smoke a couple of slabs of Salmon from Costco this week. We are having Drop Dead Gorgeous weather here in the Land of the Benders and I was drug by my ear out to do the spring cleanup of the front perennial garden while oldwhatshernsme pruned the roses and some of the Dahlias.

BTW... Nice Back-Bar y’all got there...

Sorry but I will be cheering on BAMA. I am for LSU anytime they are not playing a SEC team. It is just something left over from many years ago when my team, MSU, was cheated out of a Down while playing in BR. It cost us a winning TD!

"Back-Bar y’all got there..."

Would you believe that's my oils and vinegars? Left to right: apple cider vinegar; canola oil; white vinegar; peanut oil; olive oil. I choose pretty and unusual bottles from hubby's liquor supply and buy the spouts from the liquor store. I was forever going in and out of the cabinet for those, so having them right there in my food prep area is handy and it looks pretty too.

No, I’m running Windows 7, and the ASCII code works fine, but holding down the alternate key didn’t. Maybe I didn’t fully understand what you were saying. I keep an ASCII special characters chart on my desktop for when I need to check it. In the 90’s I knew all of the stuff by heart, but have long since forgotten it all.

"Lordy! That is one Beautiful gift!"

Isn't it though??!! I got it sliced and vacuum packed into portions for seasoning beans, peas, etc. I like to microwave a few pieces to crispy perfection as a snack every now and then, but it is sooooo salty!

"Sorry but I will be cheering on BAMA."

I kinda thought you might be, seein' as how you're right down 59 and all, but for an old call??? Hate the refs, not the team! (j/k)

Geaux Tigers! Having grown up in Alabama, I'm an Auburn fan myself. Hubby is LSU all the way. When Auburn/LSU play, we are always sure that the Tigers are going to win! A house divided!

No, red wigglers and night crawlers are totally different. I learned some important things about worms today. Hold up before you do anything ... I'm researching more in-depth.

On burning corn: we are burning shelled corn that has been cleaned. I've never thrown a cob in the fire and don't know how it would do. Make sure that your fireplace, insert or stove can burn corn. It burns hotter than wood and damage could be done by the higher heat.

Yep! For an old call! We have long lasting memories (typical southern trait, as you know) here in Miss State territory about that cheating incident. By the way being 90 miles away from Bama does not make me an automatic fan!
