There used to be a Cat No-kill Shelter down the street from our house.
One year, someone at the shelter planted a small garden in front of the place between the building and the sidewalk, maybe 10 feet by 15 feet.
They grew collards that were three foot tall and dark green leaves at least a foot wide.
I wonder what they used for fertilizer?.................😉😜
Lol, I wonder!
Where we used to live across town, my wife planted a JFK Rose one year.
I dug the hole pretty deep and went around the yard picking up all the dog poop our Chow-mix had produced and put it in the hole prior to planting the rose.
That rose grew over six feet tall and had hundreds of blossoms on it every year until we moved....................
That is no surprise, too bad you couldn’t bring it with you!
We tried, but my mother-in-law killed it when she broke the roots trying to move it..........🤦♀️
Ouch! That’s a shame.
The Best Bar B que in the world comes from Ridgewood BBQ near Elizabehton Tennessee
One day over the Christmas holidays, myt family visited Ridgewood for lunch. It is not a large restaurant but is always crowded.
We saw the sheriff show up outside then the rescue squad and then an ambulance. There was a commotion at a near by table. They loaded an elderly gentlemen onto a gurney and left the scene. His wife rode along. The guy had a heart attack
But there was something strange. A fiftyish man and woman remained at the table and undeterred and ate their BBQ.
Hey!....... it’s Ridgewood. The best BBQ in the world.
For the record, the next best and nearly equal is Cooper’s Old Time BBQ in Llano Texas.
Both are off the beaten path so you have to actually go there. Neither is really on the way somewhere else
Heresy........
Not in The Southeast.......................
Yes, in the southeast.
SC BBQ is right doen there with Indiana
My next favorite is Hot Texas BBQ...................
Beau made this on the grill last night for supper. SUPERB! Not true BBQ, but a Keeper Recipe for sure:
Grilled Turkey Tenderloin with Brown Sugar & Whole Grain Mustard
Lol, I love that day! It happens with great frequency at this time of year especially!!
Dang! That looks amazing! We will have to try that recipe out sometime.
Hubby grilled a prime top sirloin steak that we’d had in the freezer for well over a year. It got pushed to the back and we unearthed it on Sunday when we were digging around. No freezer burn, cuz it was wrapped very well!! Sides of baked taters, steamed broccoli, and a salad. More good eats!
I did my part today at Hurtado’s in Texas. Pork belly burnt ends, Poblano/Oaxaca smoked sausage, and the best, moist and tender brisket you’ll find. No sauce needed. Ever. And the proprietor is the nicest guy.
Perfection! I am working my way through more Bear and Elk steaks this upcoming week. Marinate. Grill. Done!
I need to continue cleaning out the freezers (yes, PLURAL!) NOW, before he drags home more carcasses for me to cook up for this Summer into Fall. ;)
I don’t think I’ve ever had bear. Definitely have had moose, and maybe elk but not 100% sure on the elk. It would’ve been over 50 years ago, and when I was probably no more than 9 or 10. We have more than one freezer, too. Two with fridges, and one that is solely a freezer, the upright kind.
We bought the upright during covid lockdowns. They were hard to find then. I stood by this one in the store until my husband could come with the long cart. Six other people came by and someone even offered me $100 to let him take that one home. I said no way. I love that upright. It works great. So far.
