No, not my butt, I have that posted elsewhere on this site. The thing you see in the sky at night. It's made of green cheese, or so they used to say. A while back I had an idea about taking a picture of it. What I ended up with was a pure white circle on a ink black background. So yesterday I was talking to my brother and he gave me some ideas on taking it. I took a few pics tonite and ended up with one that's presentable.

You can see the craters. I'm going to enlarge it and look for Elvis; you know he's supposed to be up there.

One of the things I like to do is grow tomatoes. But I can't eat all of them while they are fresh so this is what I do.

First, I gather them.


Then I seed them and give them a ride in the processor.


Next, I apply some heat and let stew in their juices for a while.


While that is going on I go back to the garden and pick some more.


Finally, I serve it.

Gracie Allen's Classic Recipe for Roast Beef

1 large Roast of beef
1 small Roast of beef

Take the two roasts and put them in the oven.
When the little one burns, the big one is done.

It's pie season! This thing is easy as pie. First the hard part, you need a pre-baked pie crust. You can make your own or use a store bought one. Taste your blueberries and if they are a bit tart, use a little more sugar. Or if your taste runs sweet, also use a little more sugar, perhaps up to a 1/4 cup more.

4 cups fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons corn starch
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
pinch of salt

put one cup blueberries in a medium saucepan with the sugar and 1/2 cup of water
bring to a simmer, keep stirred, for about 3 or 4 minutes.
disolve corn starch in 2 tablespoons water
put corn starch mixture and lemon juice in the blueberry sugar mixture, bring back to a simmer for about a minute
turn off heat and immediately put in the remaining 3 cups blueberries, stir gently to blend all together
put into cooled, pre-baked crust
let cool at room temp, let it set up before serving, about 3 hours or so


You can serve as is, but it's really good with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream, your fav whipped topping or even a dollop of plain or vanilla yogurt.

I was in the back yard when I heard sirens nearby. I went to the street and just down the block saw there was an accident. I was amazed to see a SUV rolled over on it's side. The car that hit it is a small vehicle and judging by the amount of damage on it I would say it was a low speed impact.

A few years ago a neighbor gave me a little peach tree that his father in law grew from a pit. My neighbor also planted one. I planted it that Fall, the next summer to my surprize the tree had a couple of dozen little peaches. The squirels took them all. The next year, I had nothing. Last Spring, there were blossoms but a frost took them away. This year the tree has a good amount of blossoms but we had some cold nights last week. The blossoms survived. Maybe I'll get to fight the squirels for peaches this year. I'm looking forward to it. My neighbor has threatened to come over early one morning and take my peaches, you see, his tree still has no blossoms.

I wish the moderators could do something about the neanderthals who use the comments on other ppl's picks to spam.

I feel like a weight has been lifted off me, I finally filed my income tax return, just 7 days before the deadline. Now I can relax and have a beer!

For those who celebrate it, have a very happy Easter. For everybody else, have a wonderful weekend.

My favorite season of the year begins today, Spring! It appears a snow storm is heading this way, they are forcasting 5 to 8 inches of snow. This will be the first white Easter we have had since I was a kid.
