Sunday, November 26, 2017, 3:44:11 AM- Pic Thieves

There are a lot of pic thieves out there. I'm not talking about the idiots who post nudes from other sites. I'm talking about Mr or Mrs Bakers. Not their real names. Let me explain. I occasionally post pics of food I make on food sites, where I got the recipe for said dish. Several years ago I posted a pic of a cake I baked. Just out of curiosity today I did a reverse search on the pic. Son of a bitch, I found the same exact image on a half dozen or more cooking sites. I know it's the exact image I posted because of smudges on the decoration on my cake. So, I wonder, are there people out there pretending to be bakers who really aren't? Or are they just too lazy to pull out their camera and snap a pic of their own cake? Or did theirs not turn out as attractive? Or are my photographic skills superior to theirs and they wanted to show the best example? I'll never know as I'm not going to investigate any further. It's actually kind of funny.

Wednesday, July 26, 2017, 6:20:29 PM- Mater Heaven

It's been a while since I've blogged. Today's topic is my tomato garden. For a number of years now I've been growing my tomatoes in containers. It's been working out pretty good but I think this year might be the best yet. The season is just starting but the early results are very promising.

In the middle of May I planted 2 containers, each one having 2 tomatoes and one herb (parsley and basil).

I've been harvesting tomatoes for about 7-10 days but now they are ripening in large numbers. These are mostly the small early tomatoes. The standard size tomato will ripen a little later.

This is today's harvest.

As you can see, the basil is getting overgrown. That is from a single plant.

Monday, December 26, 2016, 8:45:39 PM- Cookie Day

The other day was cookie day. I made Oat Raisin, Acorn and Noel Nut Balls.

I added some dark and white chocolate chips to the Oat Raisin cookies. The Acorn cookies are flavored with Hazelnut flavoring and the Noel Nut Balls get a rich flavor from honey and bourbon.

Tuesday, December 20, 2016, 11:12:01 PM- Bread Day

With Christmas fast approaching I have to get some baking done. Both, for my daily needs as well as the holiday itself. So today was bread day.

I pulled out my oat wheat recipe (recipe is in one of my blogs if you want to dig down for it) and made a few sandwich buns, a small braided loaf and a loaf of raisin bread.

And a Stollen shaped like a wreath (or a giant doughnut if you prefer, lol). Stollen is a traditional German fruited bread that is served during the Christmas season. I'm not German but one doesn't have to be to enjoy it.

I'm thinking tomorrow will be cookie day.

Thursday, October 13, 2016, 7:04:53 PM- The Work Is Finally Done

The work is finally done. A total of five rain out days. The roofers put the finishing touches on the project this morning. No more waking up to the sounds of construction noise, I can finally get a good mornings sleep again beginning tomorrow.

The color of the new brick is lighter than the old, but I knew it would be when this project began. It's something I really had to do as the garage was too far along for any more patches. It all has to do with a builders mistake when they used too narrow cap stones 65 years ago. That let water into the bricks, which made it's was down to the lintels and eventually rusted them. When metal rusts, it expands thus pushing up on the brick and further exasperating the problem. Add to the problem a dumbass tuck pointer along the way who didn't understand the different functions of cement v mortar.

So, new lintels, bricks, capstones and topped off with a new roof. This company paid attention to a lot of small details that should make this repair last a long time. I'm glad it's done.

Tuesday, September 27, 2016, 6:35:27 PM- The Work Has Begun

My phone rang at 6:30 a.m. (who the fuck gets at at 6:30 in the a.m.?!?!?!), "This is Naked Masonry (not their real name), we're coming over now to start that work."

So, the offending cap stones, bricks and lintels have been removed. Waiting for materials to arrive now.

Tuesday, September 13, 2016, 6:39:55 PM- It's A Money Pit

I had another contractor out to look at the garage. He pointed out a couple things the first guy is not including, because he doesn't do that. And that is new, wider, cap stones and he will also put a new roof on it. His price is a little higher than the first guy but he is including more. With the 1st guy, I'd have to call out a roofer when he is done so in the end it would be more than this guy. So I'm going to go with the second guy.

This will be the 4th time I've had work done on the garage, I guess you can say the 1st three were patch jobs. This should be a permanent solution. But it will sting the old pocketbook.

Maybe more details and pics when the work is done.
