Bass players are the coolest, and back in the day, always the most difficult to find. I had a few bands back in the day, but the more people involved, the harder it was. I eventually got home recording equipment, a drum machine and just started doing it myself. Having a tight band with common...

I originally wanted to pursue a music career. I play ,multiple instruments, write and record. I decided to pursue a more predictable career , and kept music as a hobby and source of relaxation. I love attending concerts and theater. When I travel I do road trips. I get a kick out of visiting...

II also have chard that survived the winter with no bolting yet. When it starts to go, Ill probably pick it all and make a saag paneer of something of the sort As far as garlic goes I used to get nervous when I saw growth in the fall/ winter. Now I get nervous if I dont. I used to pick the...

I tried doing it a few times, but ultimately got lazy. It was kind of necessary when we had a chest freezer, cause everything got buried. We recently had to get a new freezer, and just about everything is visible when the door is open. Also has a lot of shelves, so we are able to be more...

I've retired my indoor mushroom tent for the season. Now Im focussing on the outdoor mushrooms , primarily shiitake and wine cap. Inoculated 12 logs with various kinds of shiitake. They break them up into cool weather, warm weather and wide range specimens, I got 2 wide range varieties and 1...

Although I said I'd never grow them again, My strawberry patch was a failure, so I salvaged what I could and put them in pots ( I usually have better luck with them in pots than in the ground) and ran out to get some Asparagus crowns to plant. I never have luck with them, and I dont like how...

When I first got married and moved to Philly, I was in school and my wife was making $6.50 an hour. We had $3 a meal budget. Needless to say, we ate a lot of spaghetti and jarred sauces. In addition, we'd buy those Lipton flavored rice packets ( broccoli and cheese ...) and buy some fresh...

I wish I knew more of the details. I heard it 2nd hand, from my wife who heard it first hand from my sister in-law. Sometimes I do question what my sister in-law says and her reading of a situation. But two other people ( who were there ) basically confirmed the same thing. Therefore, I have...

Garlic is at about 1 foot, Rhubarb, figs and even cherries ( in their infancy) looking promising. Also inoculated 16 logs with various strains of Shiitake mushrooms. Cant take 6 -12 months before they start to produce depending on variety and weather conditions.

My Brother runs an annual charity event to raise money for a good cause. At the end of the event, they auction off certain items or experiences donated to the charity to help raise money. One of the items was a local 'Celebrity Chef' would come to your house and prepare a meal for a certain...

looks delightful and refreshing. I nice salad to make during the summer when all my veggies are producing.

Surprisingly, this is new to me. I had to look up Natto. I don't really eat much ( if any) Japanese food. Maybe that's why I never came across it. I have eaten plenty of fermented soy bean products though.

Picked the last of last years arugula. Starting to go to seed, so Ill clear its out to make room for string beans in about a month.

Those look really good!!

There's a restaurant by us where the term "Spring roll" refers to a vegetarian egg roll (no shrimp) where as Egg Roll its with the shrimp. Everytime my wife orders ( from anywhere ) I make sure she throws the word vegetarian in front it so there are no errors, since spring roll could be...
