Curtains and windows open. Natural sunlight and or birds chirping are a great alarm system. Then the thought of a shower followed by a cup of coffee will get me out of bed. It’s the most peaceful time of the day.

Well actually we don’t have boudin here in the SF Bay Area. I had to buy mine in Baton Rouge when driving through. I appreciate the recipe.

Yum!!!! I’m trying this thank you.

Ok, why didn’t I think of this. Thank you brilliant person.

I agree mayo can make you very sick. I’ll def keep it properly cold.

Thank you this is valuable info.

Oh boy. My grandma, from Abbiville, taught us to use a roux for dirty rice. I see that originating from being very poor and probably mixing the last of the gumbo with the last of the white rice. Either way, comfort food at its finest. I can eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner; heated or cold.

I’ve never made jambalaya but I have made plenty of dirty rice. Does jambalaya use a roux?

Definitely wire supple branches now. I would leave the roots virtually untouched for now. Maybe slice off the very bottom if they are compacted in the current pot. Put the whole root (soil and all) in a much larger pot. First add a layer of lava and pumice mixed (50/50), then the root ball on top, then fill all around the roots with the lava pumice mix. Keep it well watered.

Is now, Late May a good time to airlayer?

Soulful strut

I see you are in Germany but we use b-hyve for our timer system. It works amazing. It requires power but has excellent features such as automatically not watering when rain is forcasted. Also I can turn on certain sections if I feel I need a little more watering. I can do this in an app on my phone from wherever I am. Also, I use an intriguing “drip” system (really a spry system) called “spot spitter” that is way less complicated to use than most drip systems. I did a lot of research and these little sticks made sense and work great. Happy bonsai-ing

I wish I could get the cheap Mexican chicken chorizo in the plastic tube (Cacique brand?). Mi Pueblo used to sell it, bought by Cardenas and they don’t carry it. Does anyone know where I can get it in the Oakland area?

Haha, I have well over a hundred because I like to propagate them but I waited to retire to go wild. I also put them on a timed drip watering system so I have freedom to take trips. It would be fun to get your partner involved or at minimum have a husband like mine who appreciates my hobby but does not partake.

Haha I always keep it on hand, and now I’ll need to put it in the earth quake supply kit as well.

Good to know. For the op it’s a family owned business with a few restaurants.

Giving birth to a healthy baby

Everett and Jones in Oakland. It’s the oldest bbq place I know of in this area. Their bbq sauce is to die for.

A cherry picker and room to store it. For washing second story windows, solar panels, gutters and trim painting.

Ok thx

I’ve lived in the Bay Area all my life. I remember thinking to myself on a trip to Manhattan, “Wow the SF is much prettier than New York!” I think the hills, the green, and how the high rise’s are so compact coupled with the hilltop stunning views of the SF bay are the reason I love the visuals in this city.

Get your non stick from a Costco that caters to restaurants and businesses. I’ve had mine for nearly ten years with no deterioration of the coating. I use a cast iron for my steaks.

Sadly smart and final has gotten as expensive as Safeway lately.

I live in a 100+ year old house. The dust and pollen sifts through the double hung windows. That said, it’s not healthy to live in a dirty house. Put on some good music and start cleaning. Keep on top of it. You will feel better in the long run.
