    ^^Interesting! I do some of the yod coalescence in everyday, informal speech. "Wha chu want for dinner?" or "Wha cha wan for dinner?" I don't think I've ever said "shtreet" for "street," except mistakenly or as a joke.

    Whoops, no, I got zucchini squash. I meant to convey that after harvesting the garlic, there was enough time in the season to still grow zucchini.

    My next door neighbor started his new job yesterday. He's training to become a sheriff in the next county. He's in his late 30s/early 40s, a black belt in tae kwon do (?), and in great shape for the physicalness of the job.

    Things you wish you could say

    I wish I could say that I can knit for hours, like I used to. Now I get eye strain in about half an hour. I can't wait until spring, when the roads are dependably clear. I'm going to get my eye glasses prescription updated. It's the near vision that needs to be redone the most. Yup, old age eyes.

    Sorry about the multiple quotes/answers.. Music has been fantastic for me. Very big cloves, usually 4 or 5 big cloves. Yes, garlic is planted in the fall. Plant it before the ground freezes; for me, I plant sometime between mid-October and Nov 1. (This is well after the first frost.) Put the...

    My kombucha makes its own carbonation. After I bottle it, it sits for 5 days before I put it in the fridge. That's when the bubbles form. I used to sell some to friends/coworkers. One woman at work forgot to take hers home. I saw it sitting on the shelf near her work station. The plastic top...

    @SkyAJK, I make my own kombucha tea; have been for a long time. It's about as alcoholic as an overripe banana. (Yes, overripe bananas can have trace amounts of alcohol in them. The key word is trace.)

    The next several days are going to warm up. This will melt hubby's beloved snow and make our dirt road muddy. Bleah. But my coffee and oatmeal are tasty this morning!

    One tip I have about onions and garlic: The bulbs underground are not roots, but specialized leaves. Feed/fertilize them as if they were greens, not roots. They like more nitrogen than you might think. They also do not like competition from weeds, so mulch the beds or keep up with weeding...

    Stormcrow's Hobby Farm

    The restaurant closed many years ago, so I'm digging into my taste memory. I remember it had a citrus flavor -- orange, I'm pretty sure. There must have been some vinegar to cut the sweetness, I think. It was about the color of Italian dressing, but less oily. And ginger... ah... ginger.

    There was a restaurant that had a ginger-something dressing that was delicious. I could have eaten that as a bowl of soup. :drool

    Question of the Day - Saturday, January 4th, 2026

    Mostly towels. Paper towels are for icky things. Sometimes I use them to dry the inside of the lid of my Instant Pot, or something I need to get in to little spots to dry. Then I let the paper towel dry and reuse it.

    It was taking down the Christmas tree, but I got that done. Dusting. I hate dusting. It shows, too. I think I'll avoid it for a few more ______. (Days, weeks, months...)
