  1. She was in Pennsylvania.
  2. Yes, I had seen that article but I didn't find it helpful.

    Dinner 2019

    Chicken Tetrazzini. Not my best but it got the job done.
  4. While I was enjoying my evening shower I had a thought: what about baking the soil capsules? Or as Click & Grow calls them, Experimental Plant Pods? There are no dead roots. This is something close to synthetic soil formed to a frustrated cone. What time/temperature destroys fungi responsible for damping off of seedlings? Note we are talking about only a couple cubic inches of "soil". My most recent pea seedlings were overwhelmed and destroyed by a white fungus. As far as I can tell the pea plants turning brown was a different problem, which I believe was heat.
  5. If I wanted to safely sanitize the soil capsules for my Click & Grow, is there a way to do it?

    Several of us could divide up the platter and it would make a tasty meal.

    Dinner 2019

    At my age I don't have to justify my dinner: a pot of Rancho Gordo Moro beans* enlivened with what @rotuts would denominate DAS. Georgian walnut sauce (because I can), coleslaw, and hexapartite tomatoes. Bottle of John Wurdeman's Pheasant's Tears Saperavi 2008. It all came together. *spoiler alert: there are no Moro beans in this month's Bean Club shipment. Edit: oh, and I forgot, a bag of Cape Cod potato chips.

    I'd give it two "likes" if you scraped off the cauliflower.
  10. You're joking. Right?

    I sort of lied. I found seven grains while cleaning out the rice cooker. But I guess that is still "accounted for".

    Dinner 2019

    I don't associate asparagus with Chinese cuisine, but after a tragic misclick on amazon I am desperate to use up as much organic asparagus as I can. Dinner was Black Bean Asparagus from Carolyn Phillips' All Under Heaven (p292). Simple and good. And every grain of rice accounted for.
  13. My biggest complaint about Pizza Hut is they put ice in the beer.
  14. This evening I turned my attention to the outdoor garden. I cultivated the balcony, cleared the old tomato plants, harvested moonflower seeds. Well after dark I planted peas.
  15. I wasn't wearing the apron but the 24 inch Rough Linen napkin contained the chicken I dropped into my lap.
  16. @rotuts could you say more about what exactly you have against the Whole Foods -- Amazon business model? That dry aged rib was pretty good. And, no, I couldn't find Kool-Aid listed on the site. Interestingly when I ordered a couple days ago before the price reductions, organic asparagus was $2.99 a pound. At the moment organic asparagus is $4.99 a pound. Though a Hass avocado is $0.68.
  17. I already had The Slanted Door. I've cooked from it. But I was gouged for $2.99.
  18. I would be sanitizing without plants. I need to be sure that whatever I use doesn't affect the plastic. I'm not quite ready to sanitize because one pea plant is currently struggling to produce a pod. Meanwhile I put my Burpee order in today. I was a bit tardy this year and zinnia* seeds I wanted were out of stock. How can you be out of stock of zinnia seeds? *note: zinnia are edible.
  19. Tonight I needed to go to the pharmacy so I stopped at Shoprite for a couple things. A girl cannot have too many limes. And I was short on sour cream. However grocery shopping after dark around here is ill advised. Coming home I was almost run over twice, once by a police car in the parking lot.
  20. This looks like something @gfron1 could help with. I believe it requires fried chicken.
  21. Starting from household laundry bleach, what would be a good dilution for sanitizing my Click & Grow growing unit? I seem to have a fungus problem.
  22. Brunner contacted me today to ask how I liked the egg. Indeed I like it. The interesting news is that policy has changed and Brunner will now ship to the United States. I feel like giving the catalog another look!
  23. Mine came! I think I may need to rehome some legumes.
