Dumplings ,Pies and cornbread Oh My!!!! ( Sang to the tune of Lions, Tigers, and Bears from the Wizard of Oz)I love watching all you Guys build stuff. It’s like a replay of MacGuyver and Tim the Toolman Taylor! An innovative lot you all are!
Building is not one of my super powers lol, sooo I just buy the stuff after you all perfect it.
Buttttt, I can make dumplings, pies and cornbread…so there’s that
When I was just a wee lad we lived near Knotts Berry Farm. It didn't have the amusement park it has now. It was just the Boysenberry farm with Mrs. Knotts Famous Fried Chicken restaurant and a big pond. We would eat there every once in a while and I loved their boysenberry pies and jams!!
I have ate there myself many times. You remember the alligator park across the street? I gave my pet alligator to them when it got too big. It was about 3 feet when we gave it to them. When I got it it was about 6 or 8 inches long.
Good thing you aren't in my neck of the woods because around here they sell plates of that on every damn corner!!!
OH YEAH! Remember Independence Hall? One time my dad brought home some baby chicks only to find out they were baby ducks!!!! We kept them for a while but since we didn't have a pond for them to swim around in we went to Knotts Berry Farm and released them into the pond they had back then.
Yep, went to that independence hall on a field trip when I was in elementary school. They even had a replica liberty bell as I remember. Bought a copy of the Declaration of Independence as a souvenir.
They had killer buttetmilk biscuits in that chicken house. Best I ever have had in my life. They were small mouth sized biscuits.
Hahaha! I think every schoolkid in the area followed that exact same route. We lived about a mile from Knotts before the mall was built. My earliest memories of that place are endless strawberry fields.
Remember the live beehive they had at the restaurant? My sisters and I would stare at it completely enthralled!
Don’t remember the bee hive. I remember the little museum they had with hand painted pics on the head of a pin. The steamHahaha! I think every schoolkid in the area followed that exact same route.

You work far to late into the evening imo
Oh man, I would loveeeee to be in your neck of the woods! Just not everybody can fry decent chicken. I’m a skinny girl trapped in a fat woman’s body!
My fault. Been saving most of my work til later in the evening when it cools off a bit. It has been super nasty the past few days. I’m generally fairly heat brickle, but this humidity is nasty nasty.
i like some boysenberry ice cream. i'm sure i've had the jam but don't recall. my grandparents made a lot of jam. like rhubarb jam, blackberry, peach jam. yummy.
Weather man is taking 4 100deg starting Saturday.
Maybe this wasn't in the restaurant itself but in one of the little shops that were popping up around the restaurant. I'm thinking around '64.
Good 4 you, every generation thinks, whoa this is it, yet homo sapiens keep going. Very interesting to see people grapple with climate reality. Very possible scientific bteakthroughs and clever hacks will push this camel through the eye of the needle
We have an Amish store less than 2 miles away, they make all the good bad stuff... I think Wednesday is fry pie day, they do various berries, lemon, chocolate, eclair creme... then Friday is donut day, my God, peanut butter donuts, homemade Boston cremes.... I need to stay away. Also, I don't want to live in a world where I can't eat gravy. My husband says making gravy is one of my life skills... he would straight up drink my ham gravy... luckily that's usually a special occasion meal, ham dinner.
I'm sure humans have affected the climate and probably sped up warming and definitely sped up the extinction rate... but it was going to happen anyway, albeit more slowly. They planet has been going through heating and cooling cycles for millennia... ice age anyone? We've also had 5 mass extinction events and are in #6... just ask any paleontologist. We're a lot more insignificant than we like to admit.
.
the gravy almost got me though.
Morning CG! Cooled off for us too, yesterday was almost 90 and super humid.. I used to love that shit, now I'm getting older and my body is like "you should get stoned and take a break in the ac." I don't know why all the old folks flock to Florida... to live in the ac I suppose. We had a wicked storm blow through at around 3 am, torrential rain, crazy wind, lightning bolts everywhere... I watched it out the window for a while. Supposed to storm again in a couple hours. Being lazy and painting my nails and watchingcartoonswith little man, then I should do some household stuff... stuck here all day waiting for the safelite guy to come fix our car window that got smashed out.Mornin all Yiz!
Beautiful day in my neck of the woods. Humidity moved on last night..thank goodness! High today of 79*. Now I can handle this!
I even made it to bed without any fried pies or chicken
Prepping today to pop seeds on the 23rd. This coming round I think I have it figured out. Looking like it will be Blue Dream, Cement Shoes (like concrete shoes, but a little extra added) Oregon Grape, Creek Walker, Green Crack and some Haole Moonshine.
Anyone have any new genetics going?
Oh we're definitely making it worse, no doubt about that. Bottom line is there's too many people on the planet and not enough resources to sustain them all without serious consequences to the planet... and most treat our home as a commodity instead of the thing that allows us to exist. It's sad, but Mother Earth will probably shake us parasites off and start anew like she has done many times before.
Mornin Lovely Lady!
Oh no, that's not good about the roof!
When my daughter was maybe 6 or 7 she told me averages aren't reality
Down in florida, they supposedly have some really good fried honey chicken. have you ever tried that?Oh man, I would loveeeee to be in your neck of the woods! Just not everybody can fry decent chicken. I’m a skinny girl trapped in a fat woman’s body!
