Share Your Day March 2013

This week's trip was another skunk. But I've learned once again that a skunk is still a fun thing; fishing does not necessarily mean catching. This week's trip is recorded on my site here: http://fishwisher.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/another-sturgeon-adventure-without-the-sturgeon/

There is no big fish to brag about, but I had a wonderful time anyway. (I always say that but catching really is better than fishing!) Oh, and the weather was perfect with temps about 80° in the afternoon. Life is good.

You need to learn to relax.:cool:
 

Just got to watch the video you just posted, looks like a lotta fun, and some hard work mixed in, lol. That was a big 'un! :cool:
 
Yesterday was a strange day for me - I felt totally bereft of energy. That's rare.

You know that feeling when all you want to do is curl up in bed and pull the covers over your head? The feeling that something bad is going to happen if you get up? That dark shadows are waiting for you behind the bathroom door? That if you somehow make it to the front door and open it, you'll be greeted by the sight of zombies playing leap-frog on your front lawn?

Yeah ... it was one of THOSE days. :(

Daffy Duck: “You're despicable! Yes, you're despicable. And, and... picable. And, you're very, definitely, despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't though I haven't met a lot of people, goodness knows, it isn't that! It isn't that, goodness knows. D-d-despicable”


:p
 
First Day of Spring!

Today is officially the first day of spring! We had mild temps, but due to get colder tomorrow with rain/snow in forecast. Enjoyed the park today and did some outside chores.

Hope everyone had a nice day...Happy Spring! :D
 
I spent some time yesterday gathering sweet gum balls, ( Ozarkgal hasn't shown up with her basket). I also spent some time in the garden, beets, chard and carrots are coming up now.
The weather guessers are saying we'll have a wintry mix later today.

It's exciting to see your labor rewarded and veggies coming up! :cool: Been missing Ozarkgal's posts, hoping all is well with her. If she shows with her basket, let us know. :love_heart:
 
Happy Birthday SeaBreeze. I'm not doing all that much today...laundry and cleaning my sewing room. I'm ready to take take the quilt I'm making from old blue jeans to the sewing machine. So, I've got to set that project up so I can sew and press easily. I've been saving denim jeans for about 30 years. So, this quilt is for me...so many memories.

I harvested some Kale. I love the stuff. I look forward to kale and onions with my turkey cutlets tonight.

Thanks Pricklypear! :) Very cool you're able to sew things like that, must be very satisfying! :cool: I never was able to sew, and have a near new sewing machine in my basement that I bought around 30 years ago, and just got frustrated with. I have no excuse though, as my mother worked in a factory that made doll clothes when she was young. She did her best to teach me when I was a teenager, but I had no interest and put up a mental block. :eek:

I've read that kale has so many health benefits, but I've never tried it. I also heard that it has a strong/odd taste, so it has to be prepared properly. How do you make it, sautee it in a fry pan with oil?
 
I know that everyone doesn't enjoy sewing as I do. I do some quilting and decorative sewing. I don't fool with clothing construction anymore. It's my art. I can't draw, play a musical instrument, paint, sculpt or any of that. I envy people who do.

I usually vein the kale and put it in a large skillet with a little chicken broth or water. When it wilts a bit, I add chopped onion and sometimes crumbled bacon. You cook it until it's as tender as you like it. Maybe 10 to 15 minutes for me. I use it in soups and stews too. Kale does have a strong "cabage" flavor. Stronger than Brussels sprouts but not as strong as collard greens. (I love them too).

Like spinach, you either like kale or you don't. It's worth a try. But, the world won't come to an end if it's not for you.

I like all kinds of greens. A recent discovery that has become a favorite is Swiss chard. It's in the beet family. I also like beet greens, spinach, mustard, turnip greens, collards and kale.

Well, I like cabbage, brussel sprouts and spinach. When I do buy some kale, I'll be sure to remove the vein, thanks for the tip! :D

Swiss chard is a favorite here too. It's easy to grow and bugs don't bother much. I plant it in semi-shade here in the desert. It hangs in when other greens have bolted in our tremendous heat. I like it cooked and raw in salads.

Have you tried growing the Bright Lights variety? It is so lovely in salads.

I'm not a big fan of mustard greens. I'll toss the wild leaves in salads but I don't care for them cooked. I do love collards though. My husband was raised in North Carolina. I'm convinced that North Carolina babies come from the collard patch rather than the cabbage patch like the rest of us.
 
I'd love to put in an asparagus bed. Haven't figured out how to do that in this desert yet. Have a neighbor that's trying.
Her's has been planted for three years ---same year we both put in grape vines. Haven't heard how it's doing yet this year.
