Cheap.

there's quite a few trailers around here that pop up for sale, I'll keep an eye open for ya, what kind of size you prefer?

had a good frost this morning, beets are sprouting, not sure how this might affect them, they are still pretty small. going shooting today, finally! might take out the .260 if I get some ammo loaded for it, haven't shot it yet

Well, probably at least 4x8. I'll start checking craigslist before we move. If not, there will be plenty when we get there.

Thanks.

Since Mrs. ND is the official mother of Camp Chickenbuck I'd like to wish her,on behalf of all of us,a very HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!

Happy Mothers Day, Ma Shaw!

Thanks everyone for the Mother's Day wishes. Dave and the kids usually take me to a greenhouse so I can get my flowers for the flowerbeds and Dave gets his tomato/pepper plants. But this year we worked on the Mustang all day. CLB (Cries like Baby) aka Weezie had to work at 3:45 but she did manage put in a full days work on the car before leaving. After she left we kept plugging away on the car, and actually we got a lot done today. While I was hand sanding, I kept thinking what a sweet car this will turn out to be.

Well maybe in the next couple weekends we can make a trip to the greenhouse. The weather needs to warm up just a little bit too before I go wild on planting.

I do have to come clean on the 2011 Mustang purchase...I didn't do it. I did think it was kinda a funny joke on Dave but he read me like a book. If I would have purchased that Mustang, I would have been puking for days. Heck if I buy a new shirt, I get sick. Not sure if that's a good quality to have or something I should really work on getting over.

Have a great evening all and thanks again for the wishes. I just love being a mom....and a wife!!!

I really wanted to see that new mustang. Good joke though, you sucked us right in.

Get thoses plants Pam. You deserve them.

SIL pulled the wheels on the boat trailer today. We had to replace the bearings on one side (Bad grease seal). Might get the boat on the water tomorrow night if the weather holds.

Happy Mothers Day Ma!

I knew you didn't get that dang 'ol Mustang but it would have been sweet if you had!

The time will come for your wants and wishes after all the sacrifices for family are made and you have earned it.

My youngest the other day says he is happy he is the youngest, that way his mom and I will be able to afford to do more with him when his siblings move out.

I wandered around behind the house for about 20 minutes & tossed a few of these in my ball cap to go with supper tonight. I got more than I hoped for!! Good year for the morels here.

looks like i can fit about 60-65 morels in my cap.





oh god, I am going to gorge myself on morels tonight.

You are making my mouth water!!

I just sauted about 30 of em with sliced onion in butter with a dash of soy.... and ate em all by my fat self.. uuurrrrp!



The rest of them will be cooked pam's way which is rolled in flour, fried in butter, simple.

Where does one seek morel's out?

I found one when I set up the turkey pics, but it was totally luck, I wasn't lookin'. It was next to a rock in damp grass.

Are there any bad mushrooms that look like them, or if you see the upside down pinecone looking thing can you just fry them and eat them?

there are some bad ones to look out for. 2 kinds I know of. one I simply know as "false morel" and it's put together like a folded umbrella. it has a thin stem that goes to the top of the cap, the stem is filled with a cotton like fiber & the cap looks like a morel cap but hangs open from the stem at the bottom of the cap.

Another is called "brain mushroom" which looks like a deflated ugly morel.

the texture of the cap or top is simply wrinkled unlike the ridged texture of the true morel.

Dooood you have GOT to quit posting pics of good stuff you cook!!!
Give me a hatful of morels sauteed in garlic butter....nom, nom, nom...

Ingwe

I am absolutely misserably full of morel mushrooms. If you've never experienced over indulgence of morels... then you need to try it once.
