The War Path


Last week I tool a 4 dollar Tombstone original sausage pizza, added shreddar cheese, raw (not canned) mushrooms, green onion and some black pepper before I ovened it at 400° for 17 minutes.

It was like a whole different pizza. Really good. :cool:

And of course, Mrs Duck hated it. :rolleyes:
Don't do the 'shrooms, but some garlic and onion powder get added the mix, too.

Sometimes I do that, I take a bare bones supermarket pizza and add my own stuff to it, Especially cheese, They are really lacking on the cheese.
The biggest pain in the ass about pizza is the crust.

Pillsbury makes a great product. Pizza crust in the tube just like the biscuits. All you do is crack the tube thingy and roll out the dough on a cookie sheet, Pre-cook it Add your pizza sauce I use the one in the squeeze bottle because I am lazy and then you add your toppings and throw it in the oven

It is not bad if you don't mind eating square pizza:)

I've never tried making homemade pizza.

The guy who makes the pizzas third shift at my local Casey's is a serious nerd.

He's one of the super friendly types of nerd. The type who seems totally clueless as to why he has no friends except for other nerds.

I don't mean smart nerds either, he seems like the video game & comic book collector type.

But he makes good pizza.

I should pretend to be his friend just long enough to trick him into teaching me how to make Casey's pizza, and if they use their own brand of sauce maybe get him to snap a picture of the ingredients label cuz I can probably find its brand name equivalent that way.

Ya know, like espionage & stuff. ;)
 
Yeh, I know about the weeds. It was difficult enough to pull the roots today.

Picture 2 is the third planting of lettuce and the strawberries that are still producing.

The fourth pic is the Yukon and Red Potatoes and (from top) Beets, Danver Half Carrots, Radishes and Short n Sweet Carrots.

I'll leave the green onions until I want to use them. The Jalapenos and Seranos are still going strong and we need more heat to ripen those tomatoes. The cherry tomatoes turned out tiny, but lots of flavor.
 
I was over at the maid's house today and she gave me garlic seeds.

Good stuff descended from stuff her dad originally planted in the 1960's, not mutated Monsanto crap.

I'm gonna split it with @Blood cuz I'd like to see what he can do with them in his mad scientist laboratory.

I've heard that the seeds you buy in the store these days are sterile, and you'll only get one crop out of them. Even if the veggies you grow have seeds, there will be no second generation.

Anyone know if that's true?

I grew pumpkins at the old house we had in town. I haven't done anything in the new house yet, but I got this stupid swamp I wanna backfill, and someday that's gonna be my pumpkin patch.

I like growing pumpkins because they're super easy, and we tend to kill even the most hardy houseplants.

We had a spider plant once we named "Oscar". He did really good even with months of forgetting to water him. Too bad he wasn't edible, even when he finally died.

RIP Oscar.
 
Plant a weeping willow and some cattails.
The willow will wick water to the atmosphere.
Meanwhile cattails can be harvested for down-filling.


I'll get back to you on that.

I planted a willow last year...and it's struggling...a silver birch fell on it during a storm...but it's coming back...

I'll get back to you...I got cat tails too...

This intrigues me...

Get a tree service to dump some free woodchips.
Woodchips will absorb or retain moisture according to conditions...
and eventually revert to soil.

Google 'Back to Eden, Paul Gautschi, L2Survive'.

Yes. It's called greed.

It's why everyone hates Monsanto.

The power hungry EPA is so ridiculous you never know about messing with wetlands. There could be some endangered species of mosquito in the area they think they need to protect.

Planting willows & cattails is probably safer than filling it in with dirt.

Cat tails grow wild here in Illinois.

@Duck is quite right - filling in a wetland, even if its on your property, could cause legal entanglements you don't want. I doubt that planting some plants that thrive in a wetland would even be noticed.
