Since some of the crew are on the squeamish side this is the recipe we'll be doing with that salmon I cooked up yesterday.

A nice white wine and butter sauce with a home made salad with my own dressing.

If the shelves start getting bare maybe those fish heads won't look so bad after all.....

There's been a curious kind or run on toilet paper around here, along with the usual face mask and hand sanitizer. I think I am going to invest in some Tyvek suits. Should be able to double my money easy, unless Uncle Sam seizes them claiming eminent domain.

I'm not worried yet. The banks can close and I'm not worried, not until the liquor stores close, then I'll worry.

And I hardly ever dirink. Not ever on New Years on st. patty day.

Actually Bill, I'm re-planning for a bigger garden this year.

Already my fruit trees are in bloom. Apricot, Peaches, Pears... All doing good. My list for things I want to grow are green beans, sugar snap peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, potatoes, sweet corn, onions, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, Watermelons and a few other things for good measure. I usually do that, but on a smaller scale.

How about some humor?

EVER NOTICE...

 

[WannaDig3687]

... That bills travel through the mail 2-1/2 times faster than checks?

 

[WannaDig3687]

...That in traffic the guy in front of you is sightseeing, while the guy behind you wants to race?

 

[WannaDig3687]

...That companies invariably wait until a guys retirement party to tell him what a fantastic guy he is?

Anyone else want to add?

Rusty, I tried a garden once. The deer ate everything, even the watermelon. Mr WD said it wasn't a garden, it was a feeding plot.

Right after I got out of the service in May 1984, I came back to Ohio. I wasn't home for a couple of weeks and had to go to the doctors. So, I take the bus into Dayton. There's this very handsome 25 - something guy on the back of the bus. He caught my eye as soon as I stepped on the bus. He noticed me also, because I had uncontrollable tears running down my face. Next thing I know, he comes up and puts his arm around me and squeezes me. After a minute or so he asks, "Isn't there anything I can do to make you stop crying?" I replied, "No, it's hay fever, but you can keep trying."

The cheapest kind.

I don't follow much of the names, but I do prefer Beauregard sweet potatoes. I love them.

Rusty,

Check out some of the videos on permaculture it's amazing how much you can grow using that method. On the vegetable side of things search for videos on square foot gardening same deal there lots of produce in a compact space. You can grow up to 10 times the produce in the same space versus standard commercial farms.
