You mean "fark," right?

We've had rain a few days this past week and yesterday was a really good dishing rain. I guess we're still 5-6" behind normal, which my terrible looking tomatoes keep reminding me of. The larger ones are growing to about cherry tomato size.
 
This was yesterday's breakfast supplement:

Today it was:
sweet potato
pear
apple
beet
carrot
ginger

Not bad at all.

We dug up our garden two days ago, everything was dried up except the grape (which is friggin huge) and the potatos.
 
sooooo...
I'm thinking about building a campsite in a corner of the property -- anyone interested in some camping the weekend of November 9-11?
It's a lot flatter than Uncle E's place and there are no scorpions, but if there's a decent amount of rain between now and then, there will be a pond full of sunfish and I may even have time to build a "pleasure pavilion" by then...
 
I was starting to think Yuenglings was the knifemaker's drink of choice. I guess they have to detox once in a while!

1066vik - I might be interested. Kansas City is ~8 hour drive from here, but it would be the closest Becker gathering I can find right now.
 
what part of the state are you in?
I've got a sister up there in the middle of the woods about 45 minutes west-ish of Appleton.
 
I'm in Racine, so it's the SE Corner. The area your family is only about an hour drive from here. I'm 90 minutes from Madison and 90 minutes form Oshkosh.
 
well, you're more than welcome to stop by any time you need a break from all the trees and pretty scenery up there!
I spent a lot of time at Marriott's Great America the summer I was stationed at Great Mistakes - er, I mean Lakes...

juiced or blended?? now that is the question.... :D

I have a Breville I think I'm going to sale on the 'bay, way to expensive to juice and cant justify the $300 it cost...besides we have this "ninja" thingy that spins like mad and even makes juice, and you get all the ingredients...

Juiced.
I have specifically not looked at the cost of this unit...
It IS expensive in ingredients, but you get a lot out of 'em and with little prep time. Cleanup is quick too.

We've had bad luck with blenders. Either the drive gears strip or the motor just quits. Opening them up never resolves anything except identifying the country of origin....

dude you have to get the "ninja" I promise you will not be disappointed... my wife's a big juicer and loves this thing, my Breville has been put away since we got this thing... haven't tried lettuce yet but have most everything else and it just thrashes it, super easy clean just reach down and pull the ninja blade assembly out and rinse...

so far its been the best blender I've ever seen and for like $80 it can't be beat...

I was on the juice kick along with my wife for a while and its WAY to expensive, I mean kelp alone was killing me.... I'm going to have to try something like that in the ninja and report back..

I'll have to look at that blender... We're perfectly willing to pay $80 for a tool we don't have to buy a second or third time.

KELP?? yeah, the exotics will put the cost through the roof. So far we're staying away from that mostly. Berries of all sorts are expensive. I figure if this gets us to eat the amount of fruit and veggies we SHOULD be, then that cost is acceptable. Once we're through the phase of having one with every meal, a pint a day should more than do it.

What are you? Some kind of golden c-clamp toting rabbit?

The problem with the clamps is that they are VERY slow at juicing.
I need to cleanse my innards in prep for pizza, beer, and meat binges. :)
 
Lifted weights, then mowed as soon as I was done. I'm pooped. Finding out that I'm not as young as I once was.
